    I have a charm that has a broken link that is connected to the charm. Is there a way to fix it?
    Community Answer
    If the link is snapped, then the best thing to do is replace it. If the link is just bent out of shape, you can fix it by using small pliers or tweezers to bend it back into shape without damaging the chain.

    I have a ring and I want to wear it, but not as a ring. Is there a way to get a charm bracelet and attach a ring to it?
    Community Answer
    Yes, this is possible. Just add a jump ring to the ring, and attach it to the bracelet. This may be kind of bulky, though.

    If you use a double ring jump ring how do you close it after you put the charm on the bracelet?

    Double jump ring is another name for a split ring. With this in mind, you should only pry it open slightly (instead of untwisting it). When the charm and bracelet are in place, pinch it closed with your fingers, or a pair of pliers if it's stubborn.

    How do I attach a charm to a normal bracelet?
    Community Answer
    By unclipping the bracelet and trying to fit the charm on. If it doesn't, there should be a clasp on the charm where the charm is held and using the tips of your fingers try to unclasp it, then re-clasp it around the bracelet chain.
