Love both those....why not get one of each? Wish we had the summer swirl ones here. For some reason they didn't bring them out. Same with the heart ones......but I found a seller on Ebay with them and bought the red heart one.:heart::cloud9:

Three styles of muranos on one bracelet is a little busy for me. I actually went with the solid dark blue murano. I have one bought another will I was viewing the light blue IRL, me and the shoppe owner (who I am close with) both agreed another dark was the way to go. I will post later it has two dark blue muranos it needs one one, but it is totally wearable until I get the 3rd. My son's sports fee's are killing me!!!!!! LOL :nuts:

I know how it is, sometimes other things must take priority! I have been told to stop buying beads until New Year (can you believe that?! I work like crazy and now can't buy beads anymore!).... Lucky I already bought the new butterfly dangle which is actually 2 beads, one for me and one to share with my daughter. We have to wait til Christmas though! :sweatdrop: Then I'll just need a spacer and my first bracelet will be complete! It's also lucky I'm not into gold. I think I'm going to have to be sneaky and buy with cash so it can't show up on a statement!

The dark blue murano x3 sounds great.....had a feeling you like to repeat the muranos. It's a very classy look. I thought of doing that with my next bracelet, but I would find it too hard to choose which one to repeat. I just like too many of them! :heart:

Thanks!

OMG I have commited to 1 Pandora item per pay period and thats a cutting back. :nuts: I have to think Christmas shopping after helping hubby with this pricey sports fees.

LOL to the bank statement comment. $$CASH$$ is a bit less traceable. :graucho:

The shared butterly bead is on my list maybe me and mom or me and my bestie.

Thanks!!!!!!

Between the main Pandora thread, the picture thread and this thread you will get so many ideas and support!!!! I wish I knew of tpf when I started out.
 
Your too funny!!! Always thinking (like me). :D

I was thinking of using the egg technique to darken my oxidized bracelet when it fades (I am currently on my 2nd). I however I donot think the re-oxidizing will work. First I fear it will not get shiny, because as you shine oxidization up,the oxizidation doesn't shine it comes off. I think it would also leave residue on your arm. Great for the beads because it leave the dark oxidization in the bead details.

:D I was thinking the exact same thing but I'm not sure how brave I am.... I do remember reading somewhere that there are different levels of oxidization depending on how long you leave the silver with the egg.... At the beginning stages, it seems to be more of a blueish black and shiny, what if we watched it and didn't let it go to dark???? I may try it, I have a couple of "extra" silver bracelets...
 
I personally think the silver beads that just has a hint of gold is priced too much...I mean its just 14k gold, which technically is not the best gold. Gold is a precious metal and it should have a resale value in the ratio we spend. Obviously making charges and all is applicable..but I think they are way over-priced.

Personal opinion...I do love to collect the charms but I have them in silver...just can't convince myself to pay so much on gold one...

Def agree the all gold and two-tone beads are pricey. The gold accents on the beads are solid and steady which drives up the prices. I have two all gold beads and have squeezed them as hard as I can and it does not budge so we are paying for solid 14kt. And thank the lord for eBay. :D

Yep, we still need to keep some money for holidays!;) Or maybe win a large sum of money. That would be nice.

I am biting my tongue I really like this combo with the three different murano styles.

 
I am always inclined towards bracelets that are Symmetrical...Like wth a centre bead. Some of my Silver Beads keep repeating in every bracelet. Only the centre bead changes and accordings colors are added...I enjoy threading those beads in..:D
I have some beads from KAY Jewelers and Helzbergs...mostly the ones wth stones. They help in color co-ordination. Colored beads from Pandora (esp wth stones) get expensive sometime.

I like symmetrical too, but mainly with the placement of the muranos, and I like them to be all different colours (but in the same sort of tone, if you know what I mean, see my avatar). I really need to update my silver bracelet picture, it is nearly full! Chistmas is when it will be officially full. Can't wait.
The bracelet design, I believe, is a reflection of your personality. I generally don't have symmetry around my house either. I am mostly very organised, but a little bit quirky too. I am not one who needs to have everything matching around the house and garden, but somehow it all comes together.:amuse::upsidedown: I sound like I am a psycho-analyst or something, but I'm not really!
 
i am new to pandora, but i have two bracelets and then a chamilia bracelet.

i buy two of everything and do a focal bead in the middle, and then each side of the bracelet is the same.

(except the $200 beads, those I do one only, but they are on a separate bracelet)
