I wear mine all the time now, but didn't so much in college or grad school, even though that's when I accumulated about half of the charms on it. I see a lot of women of all ages wearing them, including plenty in my age range (which is late 30s, so I hope that doesn't put me in Dionysus' "really old people" category ). I live in the South, though, so I think it's just a traditional thing in this area. Mine is gold, but I have a lot of silver charms that are just floating around in a jewelry box, so I should probably start a silver one too.
The Italian charm bracelets seem too trendy (even if they have been around for three years or so) - kind of like the charm holder necklaces from the early 80s, which I guess are making a comeback. The regular charm bracelets just seem timeless.
