My chain broke when my 7 year old cousin pulled on it when he was piggy back ridding me. Ha Ha. Only took 20 min to do this. Very easy bit best to have nimble and dexterous fingers
With the smaller necklaces, the broken link always falls off really easily, is there a way to make that easier to fix?
