Most classic sterling silver and gold bracelets are divided into three sections separated by threaded areas.

To add new charms

  1. 1. Gently open the clasp. If your bracelet has a barrel clasp, insert your fingernail in the groove and gently twist to pop it open, or use the handy PANDORA clasp opener.

  2. 2. Then gently screw on your charm over the threading. Once it is over the thread, it will loosely slide into the non-threaded area.

  3. 3. To move your charm farther along your bracelet, repeat Step 2 at each threaded area.
