Wire style love token bracelet.

Love token bracelets are constructed in a variety of ways.  Some are joined together end to end with jump rings.  Usually there are two holes per coin at 9:00 and 3:00.  Occasionally four holes will be used for added strength and stability.  Fancier in-line placement may be done by the addition of soldered on loops which are then connected by jump rings.  The other popular style was a rigid band resembling a belt and having a buckle type closure.  These bands were often engraved to compliment the love tokens that hung from them like charms.  Every now and then one might come across a chain link bracelet with attached love tokens.  Seldom seen is the bangle bracelet with charms that float freely on it.  Also scarcer is a more “homemade” type made from wire that is twisted around the love tokens at even spacing points and then has some type of primitive closure.
