Charmed life

Those who've been wearing their sentiments wrapped around their wrists in the form of rubber bracelets now have another way of expressing their thoughts.

A number of companies are coming out with metallic discs, strung on silver-toned bead chains and engraved with words expressing what's most important to them.

American Eagle Outfitters is offering a set of six discs reading "strength," "love," "hope," "believe," "true" or "dream," and chain for $7 on its Web site, ae.com. Wear one or wear all six together. Shipping anywhere in the United States is free.

Half of the purchase price will go to the AE Live Your Life Fund supporting charities that help people live their lives to the fullest.
