"Charms and charm bracelets are a perennial category of the jewellery industry, the success of brands like Pandora are testament to the enduring appeal. The origins date to the beginning of human societies but the charm as we know it today originates its contemporary form from the 19th century.
Charms often represent items of life at that time and this vintage mini chequebook with cheques still present, reminds me of the days when cheques were the most common form of non-cash payment. Your first cheque book symbolised a coming of age and the requisite training in balancing your cheque book was a rite of passage which many will recall from those times." - Joseph Tattersfield
