How to Hang and Display a Broom Ride Charm Safely

Start with what the charm is built to do

The Broom Ride charms are hard enamel pieces on a lobster clasp, made with hard gold metal filled with enamel. Each one measures 25–30mm in height. That small size and the lobster clasp are the two facts that should drive every hanging decision: the charm is light enough for a zipper pull or planner cord, and the clasp is the attachment point, not the enamel face.

The catalog lists two versions, Charm - Nohnoh's Broom Ride and Charm - Mimi's Broom Ride, both part of the Lil' Wizarding World collection. They share the same dimensions and construction, so the hanging method below works for either. The catalog does not include separate care or safety instructions, so the advice here stays within what the product facts support.

The two Broom Ride charms at a glance

• Charm - Nohnoh's Broom Ride: Hard enamel charm on a lobster clasp, 25–30mm in height, made with hard gold metal filled with enamel. The clasp is the only confirmed attachment point, and the small size keeps the charm from weighing down a zipper or planner cord.

  

• Charm - Mimi's Broom Ride: Same hard enamel construction, lobster clasp, and 25–30mm height as the Nohnoh's version. You can choose between the two designs without changing your hanging method or care routine.

  

Three supported ways to hang the charm

The catalog names three uses: a zipper, a planner cord, and interchangeability with the store's dangle bookmark. Each one changes how much the charm moves and what it rubs against.

1. Clip it to a zipper: Open the lobster clasp and hook it through the zipper pull, then close the clasp fully. The charm hangs below the pull, so check that it does not catch in the zipper teeth when you open or close the bag. This is the most exposed option because the charm swings as you carry the bag.
2. Attach it to a planner cord: Hook the lobster clasp around the cord or elastic loop on your planner. A planner cord keeps the charm closer to the book, so it moves less than a bag zipper. Keep the clasp closed and make sure the cord is secure enough that the charm does not slide off.
3. Swap it onto a dangle bookmark: The catalog says the charm is interchangeable with the store's dangle bookmark. Use the lobster clasp to move the charm between the bookmark and other spots rather than forcing it onto a ring or cord it was not designed for.

Match the hanging spot to the risk

A bag zipper is the highest-movement spot: the charm swings, bumps against doorframes, and can rub against keys or a water bottle in the same bag. A planner cord is lower risk because the planner stays in a bag or on a desk. A dangle bookmark sits somewhere in between, depending on how you store the book.

If you want the charm to stay looking its best, put it on the planner cord or dangle bookmark first and treat the bag zipper as the display spot for days when you are not carrying a lot of hard objects in the same compartment. The catalog does not rate the enamel for scratch resistance, so this is a practical precaution rather than a manufacturer claim.

Care and storage within the supplied facts

The product record does not include cleaning instructions, so avoid inventing a routine. These points stay within what the catalog confirms.

• Keep the clasp closed when stored: An open lobster clasp can catch on fabric or other charms in a pouch. Close it before you put the charm away.
• Store it away from loose metal: The charm is made with hard gold metal filled with enamel. Storing it loose with keys or other metal items invites unnecessary contact; a small pouch or a dedicated compartment keeps it separate.
• Expect slight color differences: The catalog notes that colors may differ on monitor screens due to different settings. That is a display limitation, not a defect, so judge the charm in person rather than against an on-screen swatch.
• Do not assume water or chemical resistance: No water, chemical, or cleaning guidance is supplied. If the charm gets wet or dirty, the catalog does not confirm a safe cleaning method, so keep it away from those situations where you can.

What the catalog does not settle

The supplied record confirms the material, the clasp, the 25–30mm height, and the three suggested uses. It does not confirm a weight limit for the lobster clasp, a scratch-resistance rating, or a cleaning procedure. If you plan to hang the charm somewhere unusual, such as a heavy bag that gets thrown around, treat that as an untested use rather than a supported one.

For most readers, the safe choice is the one the catalog already names: zipper, planner cord, or dangle bookmark. Start there, watch how the charm moves for a week, and move it to a calmer spot if it swings more than you like.
