Hi Girls- just a quick one I've been checking out the new post while re arranging my 2 bracelets.
I got 6 charms today and $370 of Pandora vouchers (oh decisions, decisions) It's been a hectic day- out for lunch with girl friends and their kids & my 2, Dinner with the family and close friends tonight. Gym in the morning to work off all the birthday cake- lol and it's midnight gone here and I have to be up at 7 to get my daughter to kinder- oh dear!!!

I got the Gold Safety chain from hubby, the I LOVE you :heart: cube charm and another little boy (hubby didn't realise I had him) from the kids, a Turtle for long life (and long friendship) from my girlfriend and the bird from my Chicky friend- her words- I thought was cute- these aussies like to call the girls chicks!!! My mother in law had picked from my wish list the gold spacer with rubys which I LOVE.

So now I just have some big decisions to make re what to get for $400au (once we add the $30 for the little homeless boy- gosh now i feel really bad rejecting him.) What would you use it for- One big charm or adding a colour to finish off my silver bracelet????

Thats too funny, i was thinking of starting a retired bracelet too since i'm more than half way there:happydance:.Do you have any of the retired animal beads? Those are so hard to find. I can find some animals pretty easy but the hard ones like the mouse,bear face, elephant, fish, rino, I cant seem to find any where at retail.

I rearranged my bracelets last week. I used to have 6...2 full ones, and 4 bases with a few beads on each. After rearranging and re-evaluating my likes and dislikes, I now have 2 full ones (that I love and am leaving alone forever) 1 two-tone that is 2/3-ish full, and one with a red stone theme that is 1/3 full. I also have 2 completely empty bracelets! I eliminated my blue theme and my pink theme, and put all of my orange themed beads on a Troll bracelet, plus I have a whole bunch of beads (mostly glass) that just aren't my style anymore... I don't know what I am going to do with them, but I am encouraging a retailer nearby to start a trade-in or swapping area...though I still think I would rather swap with you ladies!!!

I took new pics, so be on the look out for them on the other thread!

hi Pandora lovers!
i recently ordered a Murano bead from a legit website and the bead that arrived is MUCH smaller than my other Pandora murano's. it's stamped and everything, just small. the store says there can be a big difference in size of the murano's. ??? is this true?

Hi Tracy,

I'm in a similar situation, I ordered 3 muranos last year and another 3 last week. One of the new ones is so much bigger than the other 5, I emailed them and have (yesterday) sent the bigger one back with one of my original beads. It bugged me as it looked funny against the rest. I'm out of pocket for sending it back and them resending the 2 beads back. I know they are hand made but this one was at least 3mm wider and 3mm taller. I'm hoping they send two back in similar size.

Did you order it online?

hi kylie!
yes, i ordered online. the woman is very nice, even when i questioned the authenticity. the new bead is just so much smaller than the 2 i already have.
and the 2 older ones were bought at different times, by my mom, and are the same size.
i just don't get it!
the seller offered to exchange the small bead for a larger one, or give me a refund. i'll update when i hear back from her.

I have never encounter a smaller size of glass bead, but I have beads with smaller polka dots and flowers. My "orange" flower glass beads that are actually yellow all look different. It is great that the retailers are willing to exchange them!

she just got back to me and sent me a pic of all the Teal dot beads on a string. they do vary in size. and she also said they vary in depth of color also.
So, i will be sending the tiny bead back and she's sending me a bigger one---i got to pick it!

Ohh, that's good, otherwise if you're like me, it will bug you.

I think if I get any more muranos I will be buying them in person so I can match them exactly.
