Finally scored that perfect chain bracelet, but it's swimming on your wrist? Don't despair! Removing a link or two is easier than you think, and you don't necessarily need a jeweler.
First, examine your bracelet. Most chain bracelets use spring bars to connect the links. You'll need a small tool to push these bars in. A watch repair kit is ideal, but a sturdy paperclip or even a push pin can work in a pinch. Gently push the bar inward, freeing the link.
Decide how many links you need to remove, and strategically remove them to maintain symmetry. Once removed, simply reattach the clasp to the remaining links using the same spring bar method.
Pro Tip: If you're nervous, practice on an old or inexpensive chain bracelet first. And if the links are exceptionally small or tightly connected, visiting a jeweler might be the safest bet. Now go rock that perfectly fitted bracelet!
