Thanks Charmqueen for the info. I've been thinking about purchasing a pandora or troll bracelet for awhile now. I didn't know about the screw mechanism for the pandora and that it will keep the beads in place. I was planning on getting a trollbead bracelet just because I can place pandora beads on it as well. Now after having this info. maybe I will get a pandora bracelet instead. The only thing is I like more of the trollbead designs.

I recently bought two bracelets and have them just about filled up with charms. I am really enjoying them. I only need to get a few more for each bracelet. I'll post pics of them later today when DH gets home with camera. One bracelet I did in black & white. The other one I did with pink stones and beads.

If you haven't already added a safety chain to your bracelets, I highly recommend them.

Pandora makes a sterling silver safety chain with two raindrop design beads that retails for $24. It is the best insurance you can buy should your bead bracelet clasp becomes undone. It would be the first and the last bead on your bracelet. It isn't as important if you have a lobster clasp, but I really recommend it with the bead clasp. Since your bracelets are almost full, I'm sure you have a big investment on each bracelet. I have safety chains on each of my bracelets so I never have to worry.

There is also a two safety chain with gold heart designs and for those who want to splurge, there's one in all gold.

I look forward to seeing pictures of your bracelets!

Here are the pics I promised. I'm almost finished building them. I have six more charms coming in, and then they will be complete. I take lousy pics. They really don't do the bracelets any justice. IRL they are gorgeous.

Very nice bracelets! Looks like pink is a dominate color in the second photo - the Murano glass and beads with pink stones look nice together. The one with the white Murano glass is a very neutral bracelet - worn together, I'll bet they really make a statement.

You put a lot of thought into building your bracelets. After seeing so many of my customer's bracelets, I can tell whether beads are added randomly or if the bracelet is planned.

How are you liking the Pandora Travel Box? I've sold several of them on my website but haven't gotten feedback as to what my customers think. I think the sections for beads are great. Do you use the "stick" that was included to get to your beads? I've been told that the lining has been treated with something to prevent your silver from tarnishing. Although, Pandora calls it a "travel" box, I think it is a bit heavy to take on a trip! I do like it though as a jewelry box!

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

Thanks for the feedback, Pat! You are right. One of my bracelets has a pink theme. I'm waiting for three more glass beads and three pink pearl dangle beads, then my bracelet will be complete. The other bracelet has a black & white them so I can wear it with just about everything and also pair it with my pink bracelet. I really did take my time to plan my bracelets. I'm a big animal lover so I have quite a few of the animal charms. I picked the snowflake charm because I love to ski. Of course I had to have the purse charm. I really took the time to personalize my bracelets. I do like the travel box, but I agree with you. It's not really ideal for traveling. I do keep my bracelets in there though. Right now all my charms are on my bracelets so I haven't used the stick to retrieve my charms. I didn't know the lining was treated. That's nice to know. I just saw the new charms they have out now for Easter ... the bunny and the egg. They were very cute. I can't wait to start a third bracelet! This can get very addictive! My next bracelet will have a lot of the brown/bronze/orange stones with silver flower charms. I can't wait to get started.

There are lots of bronze and champagne stones to select from - I'm thinking of one for myself because bronze is such a neutral color. With new designs coming out before Mother's Day, you'll even have more choices!

I just put a Easter bracelet together today for my home page that I'll post by the end of the week. It has the new Easter egg, bunny, bible, dangle cross and Murano glass beads in light turquoise and pink. I selected pink glass to match the stones from the Easter eggs. Pretty combination.

Right now there's a St. Patrick's Day bracelet with green Murano and shamrocks pictured that has gotten a lot of attention. Green glass is very striking and eye-catching.

We have so much fun designing bracelets even though it is time consuming. Visit my sample and ideas page to see bracelets my staff and I built. You might get some ideas and I welcome any ideas that you would like to share!
