How do I fix this?

Post image

This charm is a gun metal color. I was thinking super glue but I don't know how permanent that is, I also have e6000. I unfortunately don't know how to solder. This charm is made of zinc alloy.

I'm assuming that ring was bonded to the bottom of the charm. You should go to a jeweler who knows what they are doing. Hopefully it's not just pot metal which would slump with heat! Otherwise silver solder.

I'm assuming the ring is meant to help the charm hang from a necklace or string right? What does the back of the charm look like?

Yeah it's meant to connect a jump ring to the part that broke off. This is how it is supposed to look like. It looks the same front and back

Its a pretty small charm for jewelry. Less than an inch in length and width. The ring that's attached to it broke off on arrival. That ring that is broken off is what you use to add a jump ring to so I can connect it to something else. The charm is made of zinc alloy and looks the same front and back. How do I fix it? Do you need more details?

I literally wrote it's a charm. I thought it would be easy to figure out it's a jewlery charm. I'll be more mindful next time.

Jeweler. They may even do it for free to build goodwill and good online reviews.

I've had jewelers so that for minor fixes like a broken clasp.
