How many charms do I need for my wrist size?
Do I have to have some special tool to put together my Italian charms bracelet?No. No tool is reqiured to assemble a bracelet. However, using a special tool can help especially if you're just starting out.How do I put together my bracelet?When assembling an Italian charm bracelet, keep in mind that each charm slides out to one side and can only be linked in one direction. 1. Take an individual charm and push on the top of the charm to slide it open. 
2. The sliding part has a small opening on the bottom. Hook that opening onto the opposite side of an adjacent charm. 
3. Release the charms to lock them into place.

What are Italian charms & Italian charm bracelets?What sets Italian charm bracelets apart from other types of jewelry is that you can customize your bracelet to have any look you want. For example, someone who loves animals and likes to travel can add animal charms and various travel-themed charms to the bracelet. Unlike the classic charm bracelets, Italian charm bracelets are created entirely out of the individual links. Each link connects to the adjacent links making up the entire bracelet. What should I look for when buying Italian charms?There is a simple answer and a not so simple answer to this question. The simple answer is that you should look for an established and well-recognized brand of merchandise from a reputable merchant. Unfortunately, the top brands come at a top price costing anywhere between $12 to $18 per each individual Italian charm link. While the price is justifiable for the small number of charms manufactured with solid gold; most of the time you're just paying for the brand name with no noticeable improvement in quality. Since an average bracelet has about 18 links, you would be spending about $324 to complete your bracelet. Who sells Italian charms? Trying to find good quality Italian charms at a good price can be frustrating, especially because the market is very fragmented and there's a wide variation in quality and price. On the one hand, you have high volume sellers (let's call them distributors) who buy stock directly from importers and manufacturers and then move large quantities of product at a lower price. On the other hand, you have resellers and retailers who purchase on the wholesale market and from other resellers. Generally, they offer a wider selection, but maintain smaller stock and have higher prices. Somewhere in between you have a whole range of smaller operators and hobbyists. If you really want great quality and great prices -- and who doesn't? -- you want to find a distributor who also sells retail. (Ok, I make no secret of the fact that we are one of those.) Good Italian charms vs. bad Italian charms Ok, let's say you found a distributor and they have great prices and good selection. How do you know that the Italian charms they sell are high quality? Apart from the logo on the back (that might or might not mean anything), consider how their charms are made.
