Where to begin about these charms? In 2008 my mother purchased my “A” initial and it’s been on my neck ever since. When my daughter was born in 2014, my mother gifted me with my daughters initial charm. Both necklaces have been on my neck for many years. My daughter played with them as a baby, and now she’s going on 8 and still loves playing around with them when I’m holding her. Everyone knows me by my special initials on my neck. I hope to one day add the mom charm to my neck in honor of my sweet mother who gifted me with these wonderful charms so many years ago. Thank you Helen, for making these timeless pieces that can be worn through decades!
