ORNAMENTUM [or.naˈmen.tum] translates to "jewelry" or jewellery" in Latin.

People of all ages know the wondrous joy of charm bracelets.

A charm bracelet is a type of bracelet which carries jeweled ornaments or "charms."

But did you know the history of charms stretches back MUCH further?

During the pre-historic period, jewelry charms could be made from shells, animal-bones or clay.

Later, charms were made out of gems, rocks, and wood.

In ancient Egypt, charms were used for identification, and as symbols of faith and luck.

The first charm bracelets were worn by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Hittites and began appearing from 600 – 400 BC... to think we considered ourselves trendsetters!

ORNAMENTUM'S modern take on charms are CHARM EARRINGS. Join us in this global love of adornments.
