Pandora bracelets... continued!!!

PandoraScot THATS looking gorgy!! I love 2 tones:)

After all my reducing and redoing I have 4 complete bracelets. I am keeping my lariat but I changed what I have on it. I'm also keeping 14 murano so I can change colors on my bracelets if I want to. Everything else is going. I've either gifted them, sold them or listed them. Wow, what a crazy saga this has been. I finally feel like I have it all under control. I think if there is ever a bead that I just have to have, it's going to have to replace a bead that already has a home on an existing bracelet.

I almost felt it wasnt a Pandora bracelet until I added some Muranos. Im sure that Ill get tired of them in a few weeks,and go back to just 14k/silver beads but so far it has been my favorite look. I DO love your black with just silver....very nice

Oooh! I it! I wanted to do the angel as well... Next bracelet! Haha!

Ponygirl.me, I love what you did with yours as well. Praying I don't reach 7 bracelets! How do you like the lariats? I was looking at them the other day while shopping for beads.

Does anyone know how long it takes to stretch, if at all?? I am planning on getting another, possibly 2 tone bracelet and I don't know what size to get. Read through this whole thread and really enjoyed seeing everyone's bracelets

I received my silver bracelet with one bead on it as a gift. It was 7.5 and roomy.

As I added beads it was still OK, but I was worried and when I went to fill it with the last 7 beads and safety chain, it wouldn't go around my wrist and latch closed. Eeek! When the SA removed a bead on each side it went around my wrist and exactly fit. Too tight and I couldn't get my fingers under it.

The sales associate was pretty nice and let me switch it out to the 7.9 which is perfect and comfortable. No charge as they are the same price anyway. I would inquire if I were you.

And I too was told they'd "relax." So far it has, but hasn't gotten larger, just more flexible I think.

~If you can, go up to the next size and it will be perfect. You may or may not have to add a couple charms or spacers but at least it will fit a lot better and you'll really, really enjoy wearing it. :)

So its looking like bracelet 3 will be inevitable! I gotta slow down! I found the cutest store in Naples yesterday called Pink Pineapple, the store was all pink, girly stuff that I love: lilly pulitzer clothes & accessories, brighton, vera bradley and they had tons of Pandora- picked up the silver safety chain there. Here they are for now: close up of the gold love bouquet! the centers of the flowers are diamonds! although they are tiny, they really catch the light and add a lot of sparkle to the bracelet! I love it!!

Wow Spoilmerotten- you have got 2 beautiful bracelets. I was going to pic up my 3 purple muranos tomorrow and try and get my silver bracelet happening- it's really sad, it's spending so much time in my pandora box. I do wear my pink, 2 tone bracelet nearly everyday still though. I've got to do something to get me wearing the silver one again- think it's just to plain and cute. I wanted the Amethest Love knott that's why i've choosen purple- Does anyoine have this????

BTW Hi all sorry it's been so long since I stopped in- I have been reading and looking at pics but haven't posted since the last thread ended. xxx

Thanks! Your bracelets are gorgeous!

I actually hit 10+ before I hit recovery. Slippery slope this turned out to be! But I am so happy with what I'm left with.

As for the lariats, I really enjoy wearing it. There are so many different ways it can be worn, whatever suits my mood or the neckline on my outfit.

ok need some advice...
I have a beautiful pandora filled with gold. sliver beadss. It is all filled up. Now I am dying to add some glass beads. The problem is that I love all my beads and hate to take some off to add two glass beads. The SA at the store told me to take off the locks and then add the two glass beads and it will be great. What do you all think . My locks are nothing fancy and I think the gold glass beads will look great and make my gold beads stand out. All suggestions are welcome!

Thank you

[Baby Doll]

not sure I should remove the locks. I know I could always start another bracelet but I dont want to do that now. just looking to add color to my sliver/gold tone bracelet

Do you have any beads you could remove that you would enjoy wearing on one of the leather necklaces? That would allow you to keep wearing them and avoid the commitment of a 2nd bracelet.

I personally wouldn't remove the clips, but I do know of people who wear their bracelets that way. I think the beads have the potential of getting hung up and making the bracelet less flexible. Not sure how big of a deal that really is. I could be making it all up.

Let us know what you decide.

I got a few new beads this week. From Kendalldew, I got the orange enamel butterfly and the green murano with black (really grey) dots. From the UK, I got two more retireds, the mushroom and the cell phone. I was surprised how substantial these are. I had never seen them in person and they looked thinner online. I also got another heart murano, the clear with black. I love this series. I know I'm in the minority, but they add a lot of life to my bracelets. I'm already looking forward to the free bracelet promo in September. I know of at least three stores in the area doing it.
