Piano Charm

The origin of the piano can be traced back to 18th century Italy. A stringed-instrument, the piano is one of the most popular and well-known musical instruments. Many students starting as young as the age of two take piano lessons. It is a popular instrument in jazz music and classical music. Interestingly enough, it is hard to categorize the piano because it has string, but they are struck by hammers, not plucked. For that reason the piano can be grouped with the strings or with percussion. Our piano charm depicts a baby grand piano with the lid open, and the 88 keys ready to be played. This highly-detailed charm is handcast in authentic pewter. Our charm traces its beginnings to the "Queen of Charm." Queen Victoria of England wore decorative fashion bracelets with charms hanging on them and started the modern era of charmed jewelry. Today, these charms are no longer reserved for royalty, but can serve as reminders of the special times in our lives.
