#foxandwitbabes! Here is the info you need to choose the charms you love.
We've created a step-by-step guide below for attaching charms with a jump ring and a split ring. Attaching charms with a lobster clasp is super-simple, but if you're having any issues, just get in touch! Every charm is gold filled or gold plated on silver, brass or stainless steel for long lasting shine. It is recommended that you not wear your charms in water as this will affect the finish over time.
Attaching charms with a no solder jump ring:
(You require at least one pair of needle nose pliers for this option, two pair is best)
- These instructions are for using a no solder jump ring.
- Hold a pair of pliers in each hand, we recommend chain nose pliers, but any which have a thin nose will be perfect
- Firmly hold one side of the jump ring with a set of pliers in one hand (normally your non-writing hand), with the jump ring opening at the top. Keep your firm hand steady and with your other hand (normally your writing hand), hold the second set of pliers and grab the other side of the jump ring.
- To open the jump ring, push one side away from you while pulling the other side toward you. This will create a little gap in the ring. Do not pull outwards, as this will weaken the jump ring
- Use this small gap to insert the link of the bracelet where you would like the charm to be attached. While holding the jump ring with one pliers, use the other pliers to close the jump ring in the opposite way in which you opened the jump ring
Attaching charms with a split ring:
(No tools are required for attaching a charm via a split ring)
- Firstly, remove the charm from the manufacturer's jump ring (this is the ring the charm is attached to already)
- Find the end of the split ring and (as with a keyring) use your nail to open this slightly
- To open the jump ring, push one side away from you while pulling the other side toward you. This will create a little gap in the ring. Do not pull outwards, as this will weaken the jump ring.
- Whilst this has a small opening, thread through the charm all the way, so that it is now attached to the split ring securely
- Now, repeat the third process, but instead, thread the link of the bracelet through, the whole way around the split ring. The charm will now be super secure!
