Numbered Cherubs

I know some of you are a bit bewildered by the silver Cherubs with numbers. Relevant to Danish customs, but not elsewhere.
So you might be interested in another use---for your birth month! The sales clerk in the Tokyo store that I visited with Hisae last month, she wore a cherub on her bracelet with the number corresponding to the month of her birthday.
Just throwing the idea out there.

Good idea!

But....I am scared of cherubs, dolls, and clowns (especially clown dolls!)

That is a good idea, though I have to confess I'm not fond of the cherubs myself either. And if I HAD to have one, I suppose it would be without a number so that it could be more versatile.

I have number two for my two kids.

me three!!!

that's why it's part of my avatar

My eldest got a 7 for her 7th birthday she's 11 now but still nice I think to remember that birthday!

I have 12 for December(Christmas) and 12th night(epiphany). I think of the cherub as part of the nativity, nacimiento, creche, manger scene, presepe so it goes on my Christmas bracelet.

I love the Cherubs with numbers beads, I think they are beautiful - I have three of them

Which three, and why?

I have a number eight as i was born on 8th november but confess to not wearing it very much.

There are so many Trollbeads and a limited amount of money with which to buy them. With this in mind, the Cherubs, numbered or not, haven't made my wish list.

I think I like the un-numbered cherub better than the numbered ones. I had a numbered one (the number of my children) but it just looked rather odd on a bracelet - almost like a tag - so I gave it to my SIL who has the same number of kids!

1, 2 and 3 which my lovely hubby bought for me to represent the 3 angels which surrounded me when I was very ill in hospital

Kudos to Mr. Silverbells!


Interesting to hear all the different ways people have attached meaning to the numbered cherubs.
