How to Build an Italian Charm Bracelet

STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR ITALIAN CHARM BASE BRACELET

First you will need a 9mm Italian Charm base bracelet , most of which come in 18 links (which is the average wrist size). These Italian Charm Base Bracelets are made of stainless steel.  Shiny and Matte are the 2 basic styles but you can also get a Diamond (southwest) pastern,  Gold Edged  or Gold Center Italian Charm Base Bracelet as well.  The Colored Heart Base Bracelets, available in red, blue, purple or pink hearts,  are only 14 links long. 

As you add charms, they get longer.  So for an average wrist you would need to purchase at least 4 charms to wear the Colored Heart Base Bracelet. However, if you  purchase the standard 18 link Italian Charm Base Bracelet, you will need to remove links as you add charms, so that  the bracelet will not be too large.  If you do have a larger than average wrist size, the beauty of these bracelets is you can make them as large as you need!  There is no clasp involved.  Simply stretch it over your hand to put on or take off. 

The 5mm size base bracelets are intended to wear as a complement to the 9mm Italian Charm Base Bracelet with charms.  The 5mm Ankle Bracelet  can be accessorized with 5mm Dangle Charms  found in the Ankle Bracelet Charm Section.

STEP 2: CHOOSE A THEME OR JUST SELECT CHARMS

Select charms that tell a story about you.

The possibilities are indeed endless with italian charm bracelets.

And at Affordablecharms.com the price is very reasonable as most of our charms sell for $3 each! 

STEP 3:  LAY OUT THE CHARMS IN THE ORDER YOU WOULD LIKE THEM

This step allows you to visualize the final look and made adjustments before attaching the charms.

STEP 4:  ASSEMBLE BRACELET

Each link connects together by pushing the  link open with your thumb, or with use of an Italian Charm Charm Tool,  and adding a charm by sliding the open link into the slot of the charm.   

You can space the charms or put them next to each other so they are easy to view on the top of your wrist.  You can keep adding until all 18 base bracelet links have been removed and you now have a bracelet consisting of 18 personal charms that tell a story about YOU.  You can use the original Italian Charm Base Bracelet  to start another Italian Charm Bracelet or give to a friend to start his/her own Italian Charm Bracelet.
