Charm bracelets have been popular from as early as 500 B.C., when Assyrians, Babylonians and even Persians wore charms which they associated with special powers.
In recent years gold charms and silver charms are becoming popular once again. Italian Charm Bracelets Italian charm bracelets are slightly different from traditional silver charms or gold charms.
Most charm bracelets are fashioned with the charms dangling from a chain; Italian charm bracelets however, are made with the charms soldered to flat links that can be removed from a stretch bracelet. Italian charm bracelets are a unique and fun twist on the standard charm bracelet because they are dynamic, fun to wear and trendy.

To create individualism through the application of shapes and norms” is the credo of the young German handbag designer Tina Karl. With this fashion statement it is understood that the handbags created are more than just an accessory. “My handbags are an expression of one’s attitude to life and they mirror the individuality of the carrier”, explains the young designer from the South of Germany’s handbag label Sequenza, of her style. Therefore, each individual model is strictly limited. Sequenza releases a maximum of 500 pieces per model into the market. None of these exclusive products are sold without an authenticity certificate and an individually allocated serial number, which is engraved on a metal plaque. Two collections per annum and the focus on the given season guarantee the Sequenza clientele the highest form of exclusivity.Authentic materials and original details are the trademarks of the collection: The highest quality of crocodile and snake leather as well as Springbok furs give the handbags their original charm and individual character. Cultural jewelry, such as Chinese coins serve as closures and ensure that the Sequenza collection is singularly unique.The women who purchase these handbags are individualistic and command an incredible sense for exclusive fashion. They are consumed by charm and esprit, as well as a healthy portion of self style and pleasure from the unconventional. Short lived trends contradict their natural perception of quality and style.

Joolz photoshoot - Third Time’s The Charm
Author: admin
The latest collection from Joolz, Third Time’s the Charm is an anthology of accessories for style success in bold black and white, with a dash of cream and a splash of red.
Its old-time glamour with tomorrows twist.
Gleaming pearls are teamed with glossy obsidian and onyx, or contrasted prettily with hand-crafted vintage playing card butterflies that appear to have fluttered down to perch perfectly on the neck & wrist in a display of delicate symmetry. Beautiful black recycled umbrella silk teamed with pearls becomes a stylish bowtie choker, and the Lady Luck necklace of vintage dice is perfect with obsidian cubes.
Eye-catching elegance is the key, allowing the wearer to be effortless in making her style statement.
The photo shoot for this collection, Third Time’s The Charm, was our biggest yet. We had a few people on set, and a few more who weren’t there, but who helped the day (and night) of shooting be all that it could be.
Many thanks to the following people for your incredibly supportive involvement:
Photographer: Lucia Ondrusova
Model: Halohid
Designer: Airdrie Makim
Makeup: Adele Karmy
Hair: Sayaka Matsuzaki
Stylist: Monica Buch
Photographer’s Assistant: Kuba Nikoracy
Cinematographer: Gunter Bohenzky
Assistant: Teresa Corcoran
Big thanks also goes to Amelia from Route 66, Steph from BAHAMONDE, and Lisa from Eva Green, for the wonderful clothing. Also worn were the models own, plus some vintage pieces from the photographer’s assistant.
We also couldn’t have done this without the ever-helpful Jackie Fletcher, who gave us permission to shoot on location at the amazing old town hall, at the ‘Burg in Melbourne.
My vision for this collection was that I wanted something that was both grown-up but playful, strong on classic black and white colouring, with eco-friendly components. It has taken several months of research, and several months more in the making. I absolutely love the results and I certainly hope you do too!
