I have two Pandora bracelets, actually they have a lot of Trollbeads on them too. I collected beads that represented something special to me. And my girls bought me a few beads. I was in a collecting frenzy for a while, but now I don't wear them. For one thing, they are extremely heavy and I do not like heavy jewelry. Whenever I see the fakes at flea markets, I wish I had one of those instead. But I will never sell them because of the sentiment. Or maybe I could remove the beads from my girls and keep those, and sell everything else...
anyone lose interest in Pandora? Regrets?

I was obsessed when I first got my Pandora bracelet about 3 years ago & within 3 months had completely filled it up & I even bought the pink leather one & had a few charms on that as well as a necklace, ring & a few pairs of earrings but I lost interest about a year ago & sold it all apart from one pair of earrings which DH bought me & there quite cute with little diamonds & YG...... I also think the market is flooded with similar makes & most people have them so I sort of got bored with seeing them every where I looked.
They still look great though & great quality

I'm not into charm bracelets but we started one for my mother-in-law so every family bought a charm for her bracelet. I think that was kind of neat as each charm had some meaning behind it and was picked out especially for her. I think it's nice when it's done like that.
I think people are either really into Pandora or they're just not. I don't think I'll ever be into it.
I think though if I was, I could see the burnout factor because part of the fun would be the accumulation (of charms) but then after a while, it would maybe not be as exciting because it's like building on the same thing.

I love pandora. When I was younger and couldn't spend as much I loved it but just bought one or two charms, now I'm older I have 2 full bracelets and I've just started another! I will always love them as they look so pretty and girly and shiny!
I started my first Pandora bracelet 10 years ago. I have taken advantage of free bracelet promotions in the past and now have 3 complete bracelets. I love them, but will admit that I have wasted a lot of money on them. I think I would say the same thing about much of my other jewelry... "if only I knew how much I wouldn't wear it, I wouldn't have bought it..." I don't regret getting a Pandora bracelet. I really do love them and wear one every single day, but I don't need anymore. I don't plan on adding to my collection. There aren't any beads that I need or really am attracted to and the price is getting out of control! When I started collecting, the silver beads were $20. I didn't feel bad buying myself a little gift every couple of weeks. Now, I look at what I have, what I like, and I am satisfied with my collection!
I have no Pandora stuff. It doesn't appeal to me.
However, I do have several sterling traditional charm bracelets. I don't add a lot to them, though. One is just a general one that I've had for years; the other, I started 1 1/2 years ago, when Mom died, and it's devoted to her life. I love that it's from Birmingham, England, her birthplace, which is also famous for its silver--and her parents were silver and goldsmiths thre! It was also hallmarked in my birth year, making even more special to me.
I don't wear my charm bracelets every day. I admit, they are bulky and heavy for everyday wear!

On our anniversary, my DH gave me a Pandora bracelet with 7 charms. That was two years ago. I now have one silver bracelet completed, one two tone completed, and a pink braided leather with a few charms on it. Some of the charms are from friends. Some of the charms are ones that I picked out have special meaning. The rest came from my DH and son. I am always wearing one. I don't think I will ever get tired of them even if it goes out of style.
I love love love mine and always will! I bought all my charms within two-ish months with my vacation pay and some help from my BF. I am waiting for a few more charms to complete it and will start a new one with the bangle, obviously it won't be full lol
If I ever did lose interest, I know I can at least make half the money back, So far my bracelet is worth about $1k with a few two tone charms.
