WHAT
ARE CHARM BRACELETS? HOW DO THEY WORK?
What
they are...
Italian
Charm Bracelets are customizable jewelry made of individual links.
Most people begin with a starter bracelet. A starter bracelet
is a bracelet that generally has up to 18 links and each of the
links are the same. (They are often very plain and simple.) Here
are a couple examples:
Over
time, people collect links that show off their own personal
taste. Each of the links can be replaced until the entire bracelet
is full of charms that are special to that person. Here are
some examples of individual links:
How
to "link" charms together...
Putting
together an Italian charms bracelet from charms (links) is not
difficult, but might require some practice. It might help to have
a little screwdriver or a paperclip to open individual links.
It is important to realize that each link has two different sides
and can only be linked in a certain direction. Here are some instructions:
1. Take an individual link and find the side that slides open.
Push the top of the charm to slide it open or use a paperclip
to hook the sliding part and pull it open.
2. The sliding part has a small opening at the bottom that hooks
into an opening of another charm.
