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 gaps: one is the hinge of the lock and the other is the opening. To open the lock, push your fingernail into the lock until it pops open. No need to pry open the lock, simply pressing down between the locks will open.

Once the lock is open, you can add or remove beads/charms from your bracelet by sliding or twisting them towards 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 into the indentation/notch on the lock. Note that the smaller part of the threaded end will fit snugly into the notch in the lock. The knob at the end of the threading mechanism must be inside the lock. Close the lock until you hear a click, which indicates that the lock is properly closed. Done!

For Chamilia Solid and Flex Bangle bracelets:

Your Chamilia Solid and Flex Bangle bracelets allow you to create unique beading/charm patterns by adding, removing and changing the order of your beads at any time. The following guidelines will make switching your accounts a piece of cake.

Please note that the new Chamilia Bangle bracelets now allow both ends to open. Older rigid and flexible bracelets only allow one end to open.

To open your bangle bracelet, push and twist the “C ball” end of the bracelet. 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 ball C, the end should come off easily. Chamilia Solid and Flex Bangles automatically come with slider closures, so there’s no need to buy locking 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 in or out of 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 turn. Your lock is secure when you can gently pull on the end and it does not move.
