How to Use a Charm Clip: Customisable Jewellery Made Easy

Customisable Charm Clips


Customisable jewellery can feel like a luxury… or a real headache. Permanent soldering. One-look-only chains. Decisions that feel uncomfortably permanent. It’s like being trapped in a jewellery version of The Bachelor—and nobody wants that kind of commitment.

Enter the Charm Clip: tiny, clever, and basically your jewellery’s personal assistant. One necklace, multiple personalities. One bracelet, endless moods. And absolutely no fiddling with pliers required.

Using one of our charm clips is the easiest way to customise your jewellery without committing to anything permanent. It lets you move charms from one chain to another, making a single necklace or bracelet work harder. Add, remove, or rearrange charms across a range of our jewellery—or your existing collection—whenever you want.

If you’ve been wondering what a charm clip actually does, how it works, or whether it deserves a place in your jewellery box, this is your guide.

What Is a Charm Clip?

A charm clip is exactly what it sounds like: a small, hinged clasp that attaches charms to a chain, bracelet, or—if you’re feeling wild—another charm. Charms can move freely from one piece to another, letting one piece of jewellery do the work of three (or more).

Just like our jewellery, charm clips are small and perfectly formed. They’re suitable for dainty charms, stacked however your mood dictates, and built to last. Made ethically in the UK from durable sterling silver or gold-fill, each clip features a secure hinged bail that stays put—no slipping, no disappearing charms, no heartbreak.

Why You Actually Need One

Let’s cut to the chase. Charm clips are not just clever, they’re practical:

  • Flexibility: One charm, five necklaces. One bracelet, ten moods. You get the picture.
  • Non-permanent: No soldering, no glue, no life-altering commitments. Add, remove, rearrange. Your call.
  • Easy to use: So small, so discreet, so easy to use—perfect if your jewellery collection is as indecisive as you are.
  • Durable: Ethically sourced, made to last. This isn’t a clip you’ll yank and immediately regret.

In short: this little clip adapts to you, your outfit, your mood, and the whims of your indecisive charm collection.

How to Use a Charm Clip

Using a charm clip is ridiculously easy—easier than deciding what to binge-watch next, and far more satisfying. Here’s how to make it work with your existing jewellery:

  1. Open the hinge: Gently push the clip open.
  2. Attach it to your chain:
      Horizontally: Clip the chain’s clasp and jump ring directly to the charm clip. Charms will stay more evenly spaced along the chain—perfect for a neat, balanced look.
    • Vertically: Thread the chain through the clip’s bail, then add your charms. This creates clusters at the bottom of the clip for a more layered, playful style.
  3. Add your charms: Slide them onto the clip however you like. Mix, match, stack—go wild.
  4. Close securely: Snap the hinge shut. Charms stay put. No surprise there.
  5. Mix, match, repeat: Swap, remove, or rearrange charms anytime. One clip, endless options.

Extra perks:

  • We can also send you a charm clip pre-installed along the length of a chain, just get in touch.
  • Wear multiple charms on one necklace for a clustered look without tangles. Instant jewellery glow-up.

The Questions Everyone’s Googling

Will it work with my existing jewellery?

Most likely, yes. Charm clips can be used with any chains and most charms, as long as the bail fits. (What is a bail? It's the loop that used to attach a charm to a necklace.)

Can I put multiple charms on one clip?

Absolutely. If they fit, they sit happily together. It’s your jewellery—stack, cluster, mix it up. No rules here.

Will it stay in place?

Yep. Each clip features a secure hinged bail. No slipping, no disappearing acts… unless you forget to close it properly.

Is it durable?

Yes. Our charm clips are made in the UK from sterling silver or gold-fill, crafted to be tough, reliable, and long-lasting.

Can I move charms between different chains?

Totally. That’s the whole point. Take a charm from one necklace, drop it on another, and suddenly your jewellery feels brand new.

Can I use it with bracelets as well as necklaces?

Definitely. Charm clips aren’t picky—they love chains of all shapes and sizes. Mix, match, stack, repeat.

How many charms can I put on one clip?

There’s no hard limit, just what fits comfortably on the bail. Cluster them, stack them, create a mini charm-army—your call.

Can I buy a charm clip already installed on a chain?

Yes! Just get in touch, and we can send one pre-installed along a chain for you. Perfect if you want instant customisation without any fiddling.



The charm clip is small, simple, and seriously versatile. Swap charms, mix chains, stack bracelets. It’s the easiest way to refresh your jewellery collection without having to buy a dozen new pieces.

Looking for charms to add to your collection? Our range of charm clip–compatible jewellery makes it easy to see which charms are removable from their chains, so you can mix, match, and combine them with the clasp. Or dig into your existing jewellery stash—the charm clip works just as well with pieces you already love, giving them a second (or third) life.
