Ok, so I started my Pandora bracelet (before the price increase). I only have one charm between each section (clips on those segments so really 5 beads total). Do you think this looks stupid? Should I wait until I get more beads or just start wearing it??

Wear it!!

I started wearing my first one with only one bead. It looks lovely no matter how many beads are on it. If you're not sure with them so spaced out, put all your beads in the middle section (between the two clips) until you get more.

Another vote for start wearing it now. And I agree you can just put all your beads in the middle section to begin with and build from there...that's how I did it too, and it looked great while I wore it that way.

Yes, definitely start wearing it. You'll get a feel for what other beads you would like to add while it is on. The beauty of Pandora is that it can be re-arranged if you don't like where the beads are.

It's just hard to get the right size of bracelet. My wrist almost measures 6" (more like 5.8") so I opted for the 7.1 inch. I felt the 7.5 would just be too huge. I know more beads will make it fight tighter for for now I'll just stick with the 7.1. I hate when bracelets hang down on my hand.

Do you wish you would have "sized up" the bracelet??

My wrist measures almost 7 inches, and I bought a 7.9 inch. Also, mine is Troll, and I have a big clasp. You will be amazed at how much tighter your bracelet becomes as you add the charms. I recommend a minimum of 1 inch larger than your wrist.

Yay! Congratulations on getting a Pandora bracelet. I only have five charms on mine and no clasps! It definitely moves around, but it's so pretty. I have two murano blue/turquoise beads, a silver purse, a silver dangly cross and the queen bee.
Does anyone notice if their queen bee crown pokes at your arm?
I am looking forward to getting more on my B-day in April:yes:

I would definitely begin wearing it now! I put all of mine in the middle between the 2 clips until that section was full then started adding to another section until it was full. You'll have so much fun collecting these and rearranging them!

I also have the 7.1. My wrist measures slightly under 5.5 inches & I almost wish I got the 7.5.... the bracelet full fits perfect, but almost too perfect - it moves & all but would have been OK with a little more room.

I'm finally wearing mine with two clips, two glass beads and two charms (all in the middle segment). I'm glad (for now) that I have the 7.1 since it's plenty big. I can see where it will get tighter with more beads but I don't see me filling it within a year. When I do bump up to a larger size I'll give this one to my daughter to start filling. Heck, the bracelet part is cheap. LOL!

FYI: This place still hasn't raised their prices!!

Starter bracelets are still $40.

On this site ( http://www.pandora-beads.com ) they had a big warning that their prices were going up to do the increase in materials and now their starter bracelets are $50. This is were I got started but won't be buying from here anymore. I don't like being threatened with a nationwide price increase when other stores aren't crying "the sky is falling".
