Italian charm bracelet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Italian Charm bracelet is a series of individual modular links hooked together on a stretchy band to form a single Italian charm bracelet. A typical Italian charm bracelet is comprised of eighteen Italian charm links. Each link features an Italian charm face (design or image) soldered onto the actual Italian charm link.
[edit] Facts
A starter Italian charm bracelet consists of eighteen blank links. In order to create a personalized Italian charm bracelet, these blank links are replaced with individually designed Italian charms.
Italian Charms are compatible across brands due to standardized sizing. The modular design means that the charms on an Italian charm bracelet are interchangeable. An individual Italian charm can be switched out for a new look or to better suit the mood or changing interests of an individual.
[edit] How to Assemble
Assembling an Italian charm bracelet is simple. The links can be pulled apart to expose the “hooks” where the Italian charm
can be popped on or off. Italian charms link together with a loop on the back of the starter bracelet that hooks to the Italian charm. To add an Italian charm, the links need to be expanded outward. Pressing down on the Italian charm with your thumb will keep it in place.
An Italian charm bracelet can be assembled and disassembled with your hands. However, special tools are available to ease the process. Tools designed for Italian charm bracelets may be especially helpful for beginners. A nail file or another strong and small object will also work well though the risk for scratching the Italian charm bracelet is greater with a tool not designed specifically for this purpose.
[edit] Styles of Italian Charm Bracelets
An Italian charm bracelet can be assembled in many styles. Italian Charms can be grouped to follow a theme such as family, a specific color, career or hobby. Also, since there are many types of Italian charms, an Italian charm bracelet can feature a combination of styles. This may include laser Italian charms, photo Italian charms, hand-painted Italian charms, authentic licensed Italian charms, deluxe-link Italian charms and dangle Italian charms among others.
