From my Postbag:
I’m interested in one of your vintage silver charms, the helter skelter, it would be the 1st charm i have bought to add to a bracelet from a relative to excuse daft question, but how will the charm attach does’nt it need a ring on the top of the charm to be attached by the jeweller? is one supplied, are they easily bought?
My Reply:
Excellent question. Whilst you can get a Jewellery to help with adding charms to your vintage charm bracelet this is something you can also undertake yourself relatively easily. Here is a brief guide;
You need – your charm, your bracelet, an O ring, two pairs of nose pliers.
The O ring has a split in the top, You hold a pair of pliers wither side of the split and move one pair slightly backwards and the other slightly forwards. You do not pull the ends away from each other to the left and right.
