Charmed, I'm sure .. →[More:]So, I like charm bracelets and my nice hubby is getting me one for my birthday. Actually I'm getting it and he'll take credit for it. Since my little boy's name is Jack, I thought it would be fun to put together a bracelet with all "Jack" charms. So far, I have:

A jack - a game piece, from a game of jacks
A jack-in-the-box pop up toy
A yellowjacket bee
A jack-o-lantern
A Jack Russell terrier

I'd love a jackhammer but doubt I could find a charm like that. Any other ideas? Any favorite sources for silver charms?

What a cute idea :) You could also add a jackrabbit and maybe a jack playing card. (Oooh that last one's expensive, but I just used it as an example).

Echoing amyms, I found this blackjack charm in silver.

There's Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas. Also, how to make your own from polymer clay.

Perhaps a Union Jack?

I suppose Jack The Ripper is out. Unless your son is particularly flatulent.

(also, This is a super cute idea, I wish I could come up with real suggestions for you)

What a nifty idea! The only other "Jack" thing I could think of was jack-in-the-pulpit plants, but I doubt there's a charm available.

Oh wait! Maybe a candlestick for the poem/rhyme?

Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over the candlestick!

And the mister jokingly suggested a charm for Jack Daniels. OMG! There really is one.
