Opening and closing your Chamilia Snap and Bangle bracelets
For Chamilia Silver/Gold Snap Bracelets:
Silver/Gold Snaps bracelets have a locking mechanism that allows you to close the lock. The lock end of the Chamilia bracelet contains two separations: one is the hinge of the lock and the other is the opening. To open the lock, push your fingernail between the lock until it pops open. No need to pry open the lock, simply pressing down between the locks will open it.
Once the lock is open, you can add or remove beads/charms from your bracelet by sliding or turning them toward or away from the threading end of your bracelet (the opposite end of the lock).
To close your Silver/Gold Snap bracelet, open the end of your lock, then take the threaded end of your bracelet and place it in the slit/notch of the lock. Note that the smaller part of the threaded end will fit snugly into the notch of the lock. The knob at the end of the threading mechanism should be inside the lock. Close the lock until you hear a click, indicating that the lock is securely closed. Made!
For Chamilia Solid and Flex Bangle bracelets:
Your Chamilia Solid and Flex Bangle bracelets allow you to create unique bead/charm patterns by adding, removing and changing the order of your beads at any time. The following guidelines will make changing your accounts a piece of cake.
Please note that the new Chamilia Bangle bracelets now allow both ends to be opened. Older rigid and flexible bracelets only allow one end to be opened.
To open your bangle bracelet, push and twist the end of the bracelet with the “C ball”. If you have an older style, only one end will push in. This should be easy to determine, as it won’t take much effort to push the spring-loaded end.
Once you have pushed and twisted the end of the C ball, the end should come out easily. Chamilia Solid and Flex Bangle bracelets automatically come with slider clasps, so there’s no need to purchase lock beads to keep them in place. However, you can still place lock beads on your bracelet for added functionality or appearance. Slide the first lock on your bracelet, then remove or add as many beads as you like. Bangle bracelets do not contain a threaded end, so all beads should easily slide on or off the bracelet.
When you’re happy with your new bead pattern, slide your lock bead onto your bracelet to hold your beads in place, then repeat the same steps to secure the lock as you did to open the lock: press the “C ball” lock “, then rotate. Your lock is secure when you can gently pull on the end and it doesn’t budge.
