Lucky Charms For Young Dancers
Are you racking your brain for a gift for a young ballerina? The best gift may be one you least expect - charms.
I once ran a ballet store and my best-seller was a silver ballet shoe charm on a neck chain. Parents and young dancers alike loved it!
That was well before the current enthusiasm for charms such as Pandora and Troll. So, considering a ballet charm was so sought after then, I can only guess how sought after it would be now!
These days, you will find a wide range of dancing charms and charm bracelets. There are ballet shoes (one shoe or two!), ballet dancers in a variety of poses, and tutus for ballet dancers. For flamenco lovers, there are flamenco fans and sometimes, flamenco dancers. I've seen ballroom dancing couples,tap dancers, and shoes for tap, tango, Irish and Scottish dancing.
There's much less choice in Pandora charms, in any of the lookalike products. Pandora charms have to be chunky to allow for the central hole, so it's difficult to create a delicate charm which reflects the spirit of dancing. I have seen some ballet shoe charms but they are too bulky for my taste!
You will find several Pandora charms engraved with the word 'dance' - and of course their Murano glass beads have beautiful swirling colors which seem to be dancing all by themselves!
You sometimes hear the expression "lucky" charms. I always thought that meant charms in the shape of a four leaf clover or a horseshoe. However I heard a charming story of a woman who was given a charm bracelet for Christmas. It didn't include a four leaf clover, but she soon noticed that when she was wearing her bracelet, good things happened -and when she wasn't wearing it, went wrong. She said nothing to her family, but it ultimately became so obvious, even her son noticed! She explained it by saying that the bracelet was given to her by her family, and the charms were chosen with love, so it was transfused with a special quality. Maybe that's a good reason to buy a charm bracelet!
By the way, if you're having trouble choosing between all the different charms - it may help to know that I found the ballet shoe necklace was always far more popular than similarly priced ballerina pendants.
