Charms have been in use since the ancient times. These were used to fend off the bad influence of evil spirits. These were also used as mark of identification. Soldiers carried charms in battlefield to have good luck in fighting. In all, the basic idea behind the use of charms was to take help of some almighty power against all kinds of mishaps and misfortune. It was believed that these charms would ward of all disasters. These charms were most of the time a kind of amulet or bracelet or a piece of jewelry to be worn by the believers.

The charms were generally made from different kind of materials. Initially it was bones and shells. Later it was metals and gems. The practice was mainly a religious service offered by priests and ascetics among the people of Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt and Rome.  It slowly spread to all the cultures of ancient world including Christians, Muslims and Hindus. Slowly the charms took up the form of exquisite pieces of jewelry.

The offers made by the online portals for ordering wholesale charms concern mainly with three popular types of charms. These are European, Italian and Tibetan charms. All these types are distinct in themes but the materials used for producing the charms are more or less common for all the styles. Some popular bracelet charms and other types of jewelry use materials like beads, lampwork beads, Murano glass beads, acrylic beads and metals like silver, gold and gems.

European charms are not much different from the style of Italian charms except in the method of creating bracelets and charm jewelry.  European charms are mostly bracelets with a distinct style. The bracelet is divided into two separate parts. It has the main chain to be worn as the wearable portion and the beads that can be used on the parts of the chain. These beads are the charms. These are snapped in such a way on the base chain that the charms are interchangeable. A wearer can snap off one type of charm bead and put another. This inter-changeability requires a variety of beads required even for one bracelet. That is why these are ideally offered as wholesale charms by charm merchants.

Italian Charms bracelets differ from those called European in that the charm beads do not dangle from the bracelet. These beads are flat pieces joined with each other like a wrist band. The charm lies snug with the skin to provide the best protection.

Tibetan Charms are basically similar to the other styles but the themes are mostly related to distinct Tibetan religious symbols of animals, birds and signs of zodiac.
