The Ultimate Guide to Attaching Your Charms
Already have a bracelet? Our charms can be added to virtually any chain. All hanging charms come with a sterling silver jump ring and a 5mm sterling silver split ring as standard, unless another attachment type is selected.
Charm Attachments
Lobster Clasp
The easiest option — clip on, clip off. Perfect if you like to rearrange or swap charms frequently. We can attach any charm to a lobster clasp before dispatch.
Split Ring
Like a miniature keyring — no tools required. Included with all hanging charms and very secure once threaded on.
No-Solder Jump Ring
Our standard attachment for maximum security. You'll need a small pair of pliers to open and close the ring — quick and easy once you get the hang of it.
Hanger Bead
Converts any hanging charm into a bead charm — ideal for snake chain bracelets. Add one to your basket and we'll attach it for you.
Step-by-Step Guide
Instructions for attaching charms at home with a jump ring or split ring. Lobster clasps are self-explanatory — but get in touch if you need a hand.
With a No-Solder Jump Ring
- Use a no-solder jump ring (the jump rings supplied with charms are intended for soldering).
- Hold a pair of chain-nose pliers in each hand — any thin-nosed pliers will work.
- Grip one side of the jump ring firmly with your non-dominant hand, keeping the opening at the top. With your other hand, grip the opposite side.
- Push one side away from you and pull the other toward you to create a small gap. Don't pull outward — this weakens the ring.
- Slip the bracelet link through the gap, then reverse the motion to close the ring securely.
With a Split Ring
No tools required.
- Remove the charm from the manufacturer's jump ring (the ring it arrives on).
- Find the end of the split ring and use your fingernail to prise it open slightly — just like a keyring.
- Thread the charm all the way around the split ring until it sits securely.
- Repeat: prise the split ring open again and thread the bracelet link all the way around.
- Done — the charm is now double-secured to your bracelet.
