The History of Italian Charms | Instructions
An Italian
Company in the late 1980's got the idea to make a bracelet out of modular links
that could easily be disconnected and exchanged with other links. Many
credit European soccer players and fans for the initial wave of popularity of
Italian Charm Bracelets. But when Italian Charm Bracelets became
fashionable in America they became a standard jewelry item.
- Italian Charm
Bracelets also are a favorite for young girls & boys because they can trade
and mix links with their friends. Because links can be easily added and
removed from the Italian Charm Bracelet, Italian Charms have become the center
piece of personalized jewelry.
- INSTRUCTIONS
- You can use your fingers to adjust and connect links. If you have arthritis or difficulty, you can also use a charm tool (See our Converters|Tools section). NOTE: If you stretch out a full bracelet and turn it over, it's easy to see how the links connect.
- Each charm will have a hooked end (left side)and a connector end (right side). Links are spring loaded. Take an
individual link and slide the charm open by pushing the charm outward and hold open. If you
are dealing with several links already connected, you can also stretch the links out, and hold or pinch the link open.
- The
sliding part of the charm has a hooked opening that attaches to
the next charm's connector bar.
- Release
the charm to lock them into place.
- The ending result is a sleek, stylish bracelet that you can easily change again and again by removing, adding
and re-arranging your charms.
