Okay, I'm going to go against the tide here and vote for the charm bracelet. Here's why: my mother, who is not very sentimental, had a gorgeous charm bracelet that she carefully put together during her adolesence in the late '50s early '60s. I treasure looking at it each time I go home. Each charm means something different to her, some she bought and others were gifts. I think charm bracelets are a really lovely American tradition. Also, say you have more than one daughter or grandaughters, with a charm bracelet you can give each girl one or more charms to pass down or wear on their own bracelets.
Now, don't get me wrong, my diamond earrings are a staple in my wardrobe, so if you go with those they'll definitely get a lot of use. Just my thoughts.
