A charmed life

MANILA, Philippines - They are cute, silver, tiny, and they bring a lot of luck. Michelis presents its Lucky Charm collection, with an assortment of silver charms to attract wealth, prosperity, and abundance.

Wearing charms and talismans is a practice that goes back to ancient times — symbols to remind the wearer to keep fortune and health in mind.

Cats have been known in different cultures as wise spirits. The Maneki Neko, or the Beckoning Cat, is a charm that brings fortune and more business. Japanese in origin, shop owners all over the world have adopted the charm in their front door with the raised paw beckoning fortune to come in.

The sweet life: Fruit charms, Chinese symbol of wealth and prosperity

Wishing to have a bigger family? The Chinese believe that the peanut is an auspicious symbol for fertility and giving birth, and those who wished to have many children used the peanut charm.

It’s not easy to be reminded that the Universe blesses us abundantly. When feeling down, man need only open the treasure chest within and unlock the gifts available to his or her use. The treasure chest charm is a perfect reminder to have in your wrist when facing overwhelming obstacles in life.

Looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? The ancients knew that wealth is a state of mind. A treasure bucket charm or a tael lucky charm to attract wealth around the wrist or neck can help visualize the coming of abundance.

And then there were three: Three-wishes charm, symbol of success, fame and fortune

Thoughts are powerful. Charms serve as reminder to the wearer, guiding them to bring one’s thoughts and awareness in what they desire, becoming part of the subconscious, and ultimately reflect in the individual’s actions and reality.

Michelis Lucky Charms are best worn together as a bracelet or around the neck in a silver chain. Put them where you can see them and walk the path of a prosperous life.
