Attaching Italian CharmsThe first
time you try to add or remove an Italian Charm will probably be
frustrating. It is one of those things that until you do it
once, it is kind of awkward. But don't worry, after just a few times you
will be a pro and you will be rearranging your Italian Charm bracelet
all the time!
There are
two ways to do it, one with your fingers and the other with a Italian Charm removal
tool. The Italian Charm tool makes is easier and they are very
inexpensive, so if you want, buy one. They are not a waste of money.
However,
it is nice to be able to change out Italian Charms "on the fly", and
it really is not hard, so give it a try. My how-to instructions below are
not very attractive. I am afraid I am not much of an artist, but the idea
is there.
1)
Start out by squeezing the Italian Charm between the flat part of your thumb
and the flat part of your index finger (the parts where your fingerprints
are taken). Squeeze really tight.
2) Once
you
have squeezed, push your thumb forward, while still squeezing. You will notice as
you push forward that part of the Italian Charm slides with your thumb and part of
the Italian Charm stays with your index finger. This is opening the
Italian Charm up. Now, since it is spring-loaded, don't let up the pressure
or it will snap back. If you look at the part under your thumb, you will
notice you have pushed out a hook. A very wide hook, but a hook
none the less.
3) Holding another
Italian Charm in your other hand, you can hook the hook across a "bar"
on the back of the other Italian Charm. You don't have to open the other Italian
Charm up, you can just hook right onto it.
If
you push on the Italian Charm to open it and nothing happens, turn it around
and push the other way - they only open one way.
