    Abstract: Charm bracelets utilizing new dimensions have specialized clasps that are difficult to open and close without ruining a woman's manicure, at best, and are difficult to manage with arthritis or any other physical impediment. Disclosed is a specialized compressing and opening tool for charm bracelets including a pair of handles distal from a crimper head, a crimper head having a set of nipper teeth for adjustably and releasably securing and closing a charm bracelet barrel clasp, wherein the nipper teeth define an opening to receive said barrel clasp, and a pry end opening tool integral with and manufactured from the compressing and opening tool. With this tool, the barrel clasp of the charm bracelet can be opened easily by the pry end opening tool, the charms can be added, subtracted, or rearranged, and then the crimper head of the tool can be used to close the clasp to re-secure the clasp about the bracelet, thereby securing the charms onto the bracelet in a positive and secure manner.
