I am 100 years behind the trends, but have noticed lots of women around where I live wearing thin bracelets with hanging charms. I finally found out the name today, and they're Alex and Ani.
Do you have any? Is it worth investing in, or is it a passing trend?

I think theyre cute. Id buy them if my bony wrists looked halfway decent with arm jewelry. But alas, looks wonky and it's a waste of $ for me...

My brother's sister loves them but she tends to like things just because they are trendy. I'm not into them for me, I don't think they'll hang around long. I have a Pandora bracelet that my husband bought me that is very meaningful to me so I have no real need for another charm bracelet.

I love bracelets and wear them often but am not sure if I'm all about the Alex & Ani trend.
I have one. The Boston Bruins bracelet. I've thought about adding a few more (other Boston themed) but haven't bought them because $35+ for a little costume bangle that I'm not in love with? eh..

Never even heard of it! I would prefer to take that $35 for a more customized piece of jewelry from etsy.

Never heard of it or seen it on people. I would skip it just because it's a bit busy for my taste. If you like it buy it.
I bought into the monogram necklace tend before I knew it would be a trend. I spent too much probably. Taylor Swift was prod in InStyle wearing the curly monogram neck I ace and I used the same jeweler identified in the caption.

I really like them, but I figure like anything, the trend for charm bracelets will come and go. I don't think it's necessarily 'trendy' though, it seems like something you'd always be able to wear.

I was given 3 as a gift. I like them, but I've always liked wearing bangles. I probably wouldn't buy them- but I never buy myself jewelry.

This is the first I heard of it, I like it but a little pricey for my taste since I'm not in love with them.

Its a big trend in the Boston area, I don't really care for them, to busy IMO.

I was given some as a gift and I think they are cute. Definitely a little trendy but still wearable, I think.

@lavender: ha I didn't realize it was only around here. I was reading through this thread thinking - how have they all never heard of this??
I got a couple as gifts, I wear them sometimes, but I hate how loud they are against my desk at work.
