I'm heading to Melbourne city this Sunday. I'll definitely stop off at the GPO and get a bead there. The city's pretty tiring to walk all over and that's why I just shop at malls most of the time. :P Pandora is pretty much in every shopping mall in the south-east of Melbourne. It's dangerous.

If you do, what beads do you have on it?

I have one with the gold clasp.

I change mine around. I'll have to try and post a pick. I find that if I have a dangle on my necklace it has to be right in the middle. I don't have a theme for either my necklace or bracelet. I like the mismatched look. Ideally I would like to fill it all up with "roundish" beads (two tone and gold).

Well i've finally got to a happier place with my silver bracelet. I've posted a pic in our other thread. I went for purple muranos and just need 2x 2 tone dangles to add- I also want to get the Amethyst love knott to represent hubby, as i already have myself represented- Queen Bee, Daughter and son- little boy and girl.

I went into a jewellers today & they gave me a Chamilia booklet. Hmmm not sure about mixing my Pandora beads with another make. Do many of you mix or is it better to keep just to Pandora? I really like the Disney princess coach.

I have to say after doing all the research and homework before I finally got my bracelet on the go, I have to admit to be a purist when it comes to Pandora and wouldn't be tempted by any other brand. but to each their own.

Couldn't you take your bracelet with you and try the Chamilia charm on it first to see if you could live with it amongst your Pandoras?

Hi, I like a lot of the "meaningful" Chamilia charms too, and I think they would look fine mixed with Pandora. I bought a bunch of them thinking I would mix them in, but then I ended up doing a whole separate bracelet with my Chamilia charms. But if you wanted to, I think the Chamilia charms would look very consistent mixed in with the Pandora charms.

I enjoy collecting beads from a variety of companies and find that they do blend well. This is one of my bracelets and it has about an equal representation of Pandora, Chamilia and Troll. The second image I have listed which bead is from which company.

karinjg · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:43 PM

My bracelets have many brands of beads on them. I buy the beads I like. Some are actually nicer than Pandora (I think.) Troll Beads are very nice too. I put them together, more or less, according to themes or colors.

I was just thinking today that when I finished my first bracelet (that is still as I finished it, I like it so well) who knew that I'd even get a second, much less as many as I have.

I think I'm finally finished my gold bracelet

here are the pixs. I had my jewelry add my sorority symbols to a Pandora spacer as I wanted it represented on the bracelet. Otherwise all of the beads are Pandora.

Drool...... I LOVE it Kandi. OH my, I have Pandora envy :)

Kandi, That is georgous, Im now on my fithgold bead, So fingers crossed ill have one similar one day.

Someone posted with regards to the silver necklace.Sorry forgot who it was. I had one and sold it. It kept getting grubby all the time and it got to the point it wasnt worth the mither. Im going to replace it with the leather lariet. But if you can be bothered to clean them all the time the silver one is lovely.

Lourie Lou, Thanks for yr message yes it was me x

Thanks Ladies....

Kandi, just speechless
Re: silver necklace. I have the oxidized one and it's hard to clean. If you use a silver cloth it will take off the oxidation (then the point is??). So I use dishsoap and water, but I'm not as in love with it as I am my bracelets.
