How do I repair this bracelet?

Part of the metal on this bracelet is cracked..I'm trying to save it before it cracks all the way through...
This bracet (Picture 1) and (Picture 2) has developed a crack in it on the backside of it - that part is copper..I think?
You can sort of see it to the right of center in the first picture, and how it affects the shape in the second (it's actually more bent than this normally - I guess from how I take it on & off).
Can this be repaired? Would it be possible to fix myself or do I need to take it to a jeweler? The top side does not show any sign of cracks. It's really the only piece of jewelry I own, and though it's sort of kitschy I'd like to save it.
Thanks

Yes, take it to a jeweler and ask. I had a couple cracked bracelets that a jeweler fixed for me a few years back (cracked worse than this, although they were silver and differently shaped). I think it was somewhere around $50 for two bracelets, so not terrible.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be terribly expensive for them to repair, either. They'd let you know.
