Thank you for the advice. I didn't realize the domed pins are press-fitted to each other. I'll try it and report back.
I just ordered one of these bracelets and had posted the same question recently 馃檮 Did you manage to shorten it yourself? Any updates?

Except that it did not work with my bracelet because the end link is different. Also, the "press fit" ends actually appear to be quite permanent so I couldn't take a pin apart as @Pazzo suggested. In the end I had to destroy a pins to shorten the bracelet. One still need a pin to reattach the bracelet together. I had some on hand like the ones shown below to try it out. It works but not right aesthetically so I need to order a better looking pin so I need to order from a supplier (e.g. Esslinger).
I grounded the end of the screw-shaped head of a replacement pin so it resembles the ones on the bracelet. I think it looks good. The pin has a smaller diameter (1.2 mm) than the original pin (1.5 mm) so the bracelet will look a little loose at that link. I might purchase a larger diameter pin from Esslinger and modify those.
