Bag charm
 | This article may contain original research. (January 2014) |
A bag charm is a piece of jewellery that decorates a handbag.[1][2] Bag charms may resemble a key chain, a bracelet or a necklace. Bag charms may also be miniature plush toys like Labubus.[3] Sanrio character charms are also popular, and they include one that is a sentient piece of salmon.[4]
History
[edit]While charms and charm bracelets have existed since antiquity, jewellery specifically designed to adorn hand-bags (as opposed to jewellery designed to be worn on one's own body) is a relatively recent innovation, with popularity rising in the late 20th century stemming from celebrity endorsements.
Materials and price
[edit]Bag charms have been made from practically every available material: gold, steel, textile, leather, sequins, precious and semi-precious stones, pearls, etc. Making of bag charms is not only a trade, it has become an art, with some labeled pieces, becoming priceless collectable items.
