How to Add an Extension to a Chain Bracelet

Giriş

Use this guide to add an extension to lengthen your bracelet. Bracelets may need an extender because of it being too tight around your wrist or if you simply would like a looser fit.

An extension is a small piece of chain that is added to your original bracelet to allow for a more comfortable or desired fit. It is also called a bracelet extender or chain extender.

The purpose of this guide is to allow you to adjust the size of your bracelet to your desired liking or just so that it fits properly around your wrist. Rather than buying a new bracelet, it could be a more cost effective option, if the sizing of the bracelet is wrong or you would like to change how the bracelet fits around your wrist.
