I'm so excited! I finally bought Pandora yesterday! I got the SS bracelet, the doggie bead, SS Murano glass bead with pink ribbon, and the retired SS sunflower bead with pink CZ. The retired bead is selling at a website for $99 but I got it at the local Pandora dealer for only $38! She said they sell retired beads for the price that they were before retiring :D Anyway, here are a couple of pics of my budding collection! I can't wait to buy more beads!

Rubyjuls, my thought is - you should love it with only one bead on it, otherwise it's not for you. It's such nice quality, and personally, I love looking down at my wrist and seeing the handful of beads I chose so carefully because I love each of them. I have and make charm bracelets but can't wear them to work because they make too much noise and I worry about charms coming off. But I can wear my Pandora whenever and wherever. I like wearing it on my left wrist with a silver watch.

If you're inclined to shop ebay, there are some real bargains if you compare to the pandora site - just be careful, make sure what you're buying is EXACTLY the same as the real thing. I've saved 15-30% on my gold-bead bracelet and beads.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. Good to know that you guys where them as you build your bracelet. Not having been able to see them in person yet, I wasn't sure about how that would go. :)

Thank you for the advice! I'm a teacher, so luckily, I can get away with wearing my charm bracelets whenever I want (my second graders love them! :yes:). I just thought this would be a nice and unique take on my charm addiction. I just recently finished up a gold charm bracelet I'd been working on for the last few years so a Pandora bracelet would be a fun new bracelet for me to work on. :)

Chic - try belloparadiso.com - good service, always 10% off and free ship, but they seem to be missing some newer beads on the site. If you search 'authentic pandora' on ebay, you will get a ton of other stuff, like troll and lovelinks, and sellers who put 'for pandora' or 'suits pandora' in the listing. You have to sleuth it out! My advice is, have a P. catalog or the official website open while you search so you can compare. There are a couple sellers on ebay I like - jensbeadheavenboutique and collectabead, and discountpandora. Try searching by seller. Then report back on all your great buys! ;-D

I want to post a pic of my bracelet but my camera is so bad on close-ups. I'll see if my hubby can help.

Wow, gorgeous! Is that a gold flower power? (covet) I love the mix of silver and gold; that's what I'm doing too - but my only all-gold bead is a sun spacer, for now. I see you're in Australia, right? Not sure if all ebay sellers do international shipping, but you can email them to ask their policies.

rubyjuls, I posed a similar question a little while ago, as I have placed all my beads on my current bracelet in the centre with clips, so they stay at the top. I am getting some new beads soon, and I have decided to get another bracelet and wear the two together, the bracelet itself is sooooo pretty ( as the other ladies have pointed out), and I feel that the look of two or more braclets together is very elegant, so long as they are from the same family. I know I have come late to this conversation, but I hope it helps!!
By the way guys, the bracelets that have been posted in the last few days are STUNNING!!!

You know, that never occured to me, but it's a great idea! Two partial bracelets with all the beads between clips... worn together... I like it! Hmmmmm....

Ok, true confession: I just went on an ebay spree! I found 4 beads and a safety chain on "Buy it Nows" and went crazy - but I saved so much, I'm totally justifying it. We had a sad week as Queenie, our chocolate lab, had to be put down... (sniff) and a little retail therapy is taking my mind off it (although I've been crying all weekend, of course...) so ladies, thanks for listening.

Sunnyday - I'm so sorry about your baby! I hope you are feeling better soon!

Thanks, Talkativeone. You're a sweetheart. I appreciate the kind thought.

Okay girls, in case you're interested, I'm letting you in on my big find on Pandora! On ebay, go to advanced search / items by seller / enter sellers user ID: kendalldew. She has some amazing prices today on buy-it-nows - oval lights for $30 and a saturn stripe for $55. That's where I did all my damage today... Let me know if anyone jumps on this - and have fun shopping!

sunny bay, thanks for the compliment. and yes that's a gold flower! you've got a good eye! i had to take another look at the picture to see if it's there! hehehee! that was a deal! 4 pandora gold beads for only $550 (the flower power/interwoven flowers?, large row of hearts, row of flowers, interwoven pattern charm). i took the names from www.gilletts.com.au i bought them second hand from another local girl =)

sorry to hear about Queenie. hope you're feeling better now.
great buys on the beads! too bad kendalldew doesn't ship to australia and no more BINs from her. i'll keep an eye in case there's something i like. thanks!!!

ps: yes.. i love the bead clips.. and worn with beads in between makes the bracelet look "fuller".. ;)

eBay deal alert! As of this minute, there is a sterling w/14kt bead clasp bracelet, 7.5, on a "Buy It Now" for $149. plus shipping! USA only. That's a great buy. Just thought I would post if anyone is looking. It's listing number 160269159061. I never bought from this seller so don't know anything about them, so check their feedback.
