How to connect Italian Charms?
Italian charm links are designed with a hook on one side and a hole on the other. They also utilize spring loaded clasping mechanisms so that the links can be interchanged easily.
To attach links, simply use your thumb to push the front side of the desired link to the left. This should open the clasp and expose the hook. From there, hook the two links together and let them lock back automatically.
An Italian Charm Tool is also available to make connecting easier. It is designed to aid you in opening and connecting your charms
Charm tools make it easier to hold a charm open while you slide the bar over the clasp. You place the bar of the tool between two charms on the top of the bracelet and twist a quarter turn. That will slide the top of the charm open. Then you hold the tool in place, turn over the bracelet and add or remove your charm by holding it at a 45 degree angle and sliding the bar over the hook or clasp.
