SHOPPING TIP OF THE DAY
When Venetian trader Marco Polo traveled the world, he took the time to drop luscious charm bracelets in Belmont. OK, probably not. But there are luscious charm bracelets at Terra Firma in Belmont, and the Chocolate Goddess Charm Bracelet is by Marco Polo Designs. This calorie-free bauble is handmade from chocolate-colored Venetian and Czech glass beads interspersed with plated pewter charms ($106). The "chocolate" collection also features earrings and necklaces. Sharlet Trilling's shop also carries an adorable line of whimsical pins by Chickenscratch including "Puppy Love", a heart-shaped brass brooch with two dogs rubbing noses ($106). Today's hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Terra Firma, 49 Leonard St., Belmont. 617-489-5353.
