Charms haven't always been just a fashion accessory. It is believed that people began to wear charms as a form of amulet or talisman to ward off evil spirits or bad luck. Charms also played a part in Jewish history as during the Roman Empire Jewish scholars would write tiny passages of Jewish law and put them in amulets around their necks in order to keep the law close to their heart at all times. Charms were also worn by medieval knights for protection in battle.
