The popularity of charms and charmed jewelry continues unabated. Some of the fuel flaming the frenzy is the fact that many celebrities are photographed wearing their favorite charmed jewelry with the associated fan rush to duplicate the look.

Here's the Scoop on the Charms Your Favorite Celebrities Are Wearing

Jade Jagger

This bohemian style designer has been photographed recently wearing a stunning charm necklace with what appeared to be a budded cross as the centerpiece with crest charms circling the necklace.

What makes this necklace great is the fact that the charms are not all bunched up at the drop of the necklace. Her charms are placed on individual links using jump rings so the charms hang separately.

A budded cross is one that has a trefoil at each end of the cross. A trefoil is a bumplike knot that represents the Holy Trinity.

White Trash Charms

Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears have been spotted lately wearing White Trash Charms. The story behind the creation of White Trash Charms and its owner, Brooke Dulien, makes for interesting reading. Non-traditional in design, "evoking the iconic imagery of rock 'n' roll culture", White Trash Charms are the darling of the younger set in Hollywood.

The White Trash Wish Bone charm is very interesting as it is cast from an actual wishbone. Most of White Trash's charms are available in karated gold, sterling silver and vermeil. Prices range from $80 and upwards based upon the type of metal.
