A Place With More Than One Flag; Italian Charm Source

In 1912 the Association of American Jewelers introduced the concept of the birthstone. Today perhaps they should create their own type of flag. Italian charm wearers might take an interest in wearing charms with such a flag. Italian charm wearers could thus champion the jewelers’ organization. Such charms would of course be sold by the online stores. Those stores would thus post a depiction of their flag-bearing charm on the Internet. That would give the jewelers and their Association even wider coverage. The Association would eventually acquaint more people with the actions that it took back in the year of 1912.During the coming
year, 2008, the world will witness yet another opening ceremony for the Olympic Games. Again, each team will march out behind its respective flag. Italian charm wearers can re-capture some of the glamour of that event.

During the Olympic Games, TV viewers see far more than one flag.. Italian charm sources, such as those familiar to online shoppers, also display numerous flags. Such a source would be almost certain to have a charm with a Canadian flag, a British flag, an Australian flag and a United State flag.

A person wearing an Italian charm bracelet with many different flags can make a statement about unity. The wearing of such a bracelet displays support for unity-making efforts. Yet support for unity does not need to depend on the display of a flag. Italian charm sources offer other ways to evoke one’s personal applause for efforts that promote some type of unity.

The wearer of an Italian charm can collect charms with a variety of religious symbols. By wearing a charm bracelet with multiple religious symbols, one makes a statement about inter-religious organizations. Such organizations contribute to the movement toward greater world unity.

The United Nations is keenly aware of the shared interests among the world’s citizens.  For that reason, the U.N. recognizes as members certain non-governmental organizations. An Italian charm wearer might want to look for charms bearing symbols associated with such organizations.  Such charms would match well with a collection of flags or religious symbols.

History buffs should have fun collecting Italian charms. Throughout history the world has known more than one group that had a special flag. Italian charm sources might offer charms with some of those flags. They might, for example offer a charm with the skull and cross bones that once flew from pirate ships.

As the U.S. election of 2008 nears, one wonders what new trick any candidate might try. Will one of the candidates offer Italian charms with a political message? Since a female candidate has a prominent place among the present contenders, that suggestion does not seem beyond the pale of possibility.

During a televised discussion about that female candidate, mention was made of the enthusiasm that older women have for a female presidential candidate. Such older women might well recall the time when their own mothers greeted the news that they too would be allowed to vote.

That was a time when even the sound of the radio could not be heard in every home. That was certainly a time well before the arrival of the Internet, and of online stores selling Italian charms. Still, an online charm might be used to somehow encourage the recall of that time in history.
