Upload pic form image hosting site and the embed image via link. There is a 'insert image" option when you reply.

And sorry, without the picture, i'm struggling to understand whats separated. Jubilee bracelet i'm assuming?

Oh, gosh, don't try to do it yourself. Take it to a watchmaker.

I am no expert, and I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but trying to glue metal on metal If I am misinterpreting the picture then please just call me a Dorklehead and I’ll admit it.

Go to a jewelry repair shop. They can fix it.

From the factory, those parts are electrically fused (welded) together.

I suppose that they could be epoxied and it would make it serviceable, but a proper shop would probably float some 18k solder around the applique for a more permanent fix.
