Here's a picture of my safari bracelet. Most of the beads are Trollbeads, with a few Pandora and Chamilia as well. You have to be careful with Chamilia as the glass beads can be puny and the silver is not as good of quality as TrollB or Pandora. That's my experience.

Very nice Trollbeads bracelet. I love their Murano glass. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I love seeing everyone's bracelets! Its interesting how people put their bracelets together. They vary from being very coordinated in color or theme to whatever ... but the main thing is that it is enjoyable for the owner to wear!
 
I like the idea, but there is no way I'd pay over 1,000 dollars for one of these. Some of the sample ideas on the website graze the 2k mark!?!?

The beauty of them in my opinion is not buying a completed bracelet at once, but starting with a few beads and letting friends and loved ones buy more for you for special occasions :) Mine is currently worth over $800 NZD but I have only bought one bead for myself..... the sentimental value of my bracelet is priceless because 8 people have contributed to it.

PS I am going to upgrade to the Pandora bead clasp .... wasting five minutes every morning attempting to get it on and then another five in the evening trying to get it off is getting tiresome!
 
Here's a picture of my new bracelet. It is one that I made to wear when I wear blue. I'm a big fan of glass beads and decided to use Pandora's newest blue glass beads on this bracelet.

This bracelet would be great in purple (another favorite of mine!), too. Just replace the blue Murano glass and blue Trinity spacers with the same beads in purple for a different color!

Oooh pretty bracelet! I love your bracelets :D If I sold Pandora I'd spend all my time coming up wtih new patterns :P

I hope you don't mind but I made myself a computer wallpaper using some of your bracelet pics... I love them!

What's nice about these bracelets is that you can decide on your own price point. My bracelet was very expensive, but that was my own choice. It looks like a beautiful piece of jewelry...and I love my jewelry:heart:
 
I just got a 14K bracelet with beads and clips for Christmas. I need to take it nice and slow with those very expensive 14K beads! I won't be filling it up anytime soon, but hope it can be filled up by family on those special celebrations throughout the years ahead:flowers:
 
Well I went and got my 21cm (8.3inch?) bracelet... and eeeek it almost seems a bit big! Yikes! I think its more that I'm not used to it being quite so loose.... the best solution will be to add more beads :P I also spent far more than I should have and bought two of the silver sunburst clips....

I LOVE how easy it is to put it on (and am using my card to get it off).... unfortunately they didn't have any safety chains. Do I need it?
 
Re the varying price brackets... here's good proof of that!

The gold bracelet (scary idea!) is worth $6117.00.... the blue one is worth $635.00! That's what I love so much about Pandora... the versatility of the look and of the price point...

I am a HUGE fan of safety chains. Just knowing that the chain is there in case the bead clasp comes undone is well worth the price of the safety chain.

I've seen women replace their bracelets that have fallen off and their purchase along with a new bracelet is a safety chain.

A filled sterling silver Pandora bracelet can run a minimum of $650 and up...that's when the $30 safety chain is well worth the money.
 
What does everyone use to store their completed bracelets and bead collection?

I bought a Pandora Travel box, but it's too small to accommodate my growing collection. Plus the height of the boxes doesn't handle my bracelets as the glass beads are wider in diameter. I guess it's purpose is only supposed to be for traveling as it really doesn't hold enough for home use.

I've looked all over the net for a product that is jewelry quality yet configured for Pandora, Trollbeads, etc and there is simply NOTHING.

Help!:woohoo:

DH bought a Pandora box for me to store my bracelets and extra charms. I'm not sure if that is the same thing you are talking about. The one I have has two lift out trays.

Here's a pic of my black & white themed bracelet with animal charms sitting on top of the Pandora jewelry box.



and here's my pink themed bracelet ....
 
My jeweler started carrying Pandora. When I completed my bracelet, which I didn't start with him, he gave me the box that Kat has. It's very nice for use at home. Kat, do you use it for travel? I bought one of the black velvet zip bags that have two compartments. They are supposed to prevent the silver from tarnishing. I'm finding it a good travel bag, too.

Beautiful bracelets, Kat! I hope to get some beads for a black and white bracelet eventually.

That is exactly the box I have. It's very small and the trays are shallow. I realize that it's a Pandora box and not meant to hold larger beads by SRA artists, but it only holds 33 beads (a bit more if you double-up with silver beads in the small compartments) and 3 bracelets. The bottom tray has 3 compartments for things like additional chains and matching earrings, etc.

I have close to 100 beads already and I'm sure that I'll reach 200 by the end of the year. I tried to approach my bracelet-making by creating them and leaving them alone but it isn't working as I planned. I buy Trollbeads and Pandora and the selection from other artists is mind-blowing. So I create my bracelet every night according to what I plan to wear.

So I need something that will carry about 200 beads and various necklaces and bracelets. The Pandora Travel box is nice but it really won't hold a bead-aholics compulsion!

I'm strongly considering the following for just my silver beads....does anyone have this box?

I wonder if it will keep the silver from having to be cleaned?

The official Australian Pandora site has been revamped and there are some "inspiration" ideas... here are some original ones I quite like :D

And I just realised I am leaving Sydney ONE WEEK before the Gift Fair which Pandora has a stall at. Grrrrr.
