Family heirlooms no longer have to collect dust on the mantelpiece. Instead, why not string them on a dainty chain and wear them as a necklace? This autumn, the look of the old is getting mixed with the modern, making memories a fashion statement.

Tradition is a term that bares great significance. The past will never be forgotten among the generations when it continues to be passed down through the changing times. Families’ stories, whether it is about your grandmother’s wedding proposal or a discussion over Aunt Gladys’s famous cranberry casserole at Thanksgiving, moments become sacred.
Lockets in the shape of hearts take on the role of memory book and elegance. They share a story, while at the same time are appealing to the eye, and today these charming necklaces are taking on a modern twist.
Charming necklaces? Oh yes. All that and more.
A year ago, wearing your initial or trying the trend Sarah Jessica Parker wore as Carrie on “Sex and the City” was a fashion statement. It gave you the chance to show a stranger who you were with only so much as a glance at your neckline (at least the first letter of your name).
This autumn, mystery is back. Carrie-wannabes can start a trend all their own. After all, it’s only natural as time passes to move on, but not without remembering your history. Delicate chains strung with monogrammed medallions, lockets and charms make an understated fashion statement about the person wearing them. But if subtle isn’t your style, the charmed necklace is a guaranteed conversation starter with that hottie staring at your neckline.
For these charmed necklaces at affordable prices, try stores like Rampage and Express. Or visit www.tinatang.com and www.girlshop.com as featured in the October issue of Cosmopolitan.
Delicacy and romance are back this fall. Look no further than your collar.
