"For her 55th birthday on July 8, Barry gave Peggy an exquisite circle pin of emeralds and diamonds. But, gold charm bracelets are his specialty. The first one he gave her was a simple band with a gold orb representing the world. Inside are pictures of her world: snapshots of her two daughters, two sons and four grandchildren…The bracelet has seven charms, each of which is a miniature photo album. Each gold bangle is centered by a precious stone. If you take the first letter of each gem and put them together, they spell out the word ‘Dearest,” Diamond, emerald, amethyst, ruby, emerald, sapphire, and topaz."

An excerpt from the 1964 edition of The Spokesman Review, detailing Barry Goldwater’s love for his wife Peggy, symbolized in charm bracelets.
