I just got my second and third beads!! I got a cute little cupcake and a bow spacer bead. I am so loving these cute little beads. The only problem I have is that mine are going to be all different colors. I want all these random beads that don't really match. Do they need to match? I don't want my bracelet to look funny when it is complete.
In my opinion, it's more important to really enjoy each bead rather than have them match, but some people prefer a matching bracelet. I think some of the lovely ladies on here are trying to work out this dilemma as well.
If you had to choose a bead to symbolise your Mum, or the bond between you and your Mum, which one would you choose and why?.
Funny this was asked. I have been thinking of getting one to represent my Mum. I'd have to say the gold filigree ball charm. I have a sometimes difficult relationship with my mother. The reason I would choose this is while it looks pretty - it is quite transparent. Just like our relationship.
I have the gold strawberry for my Dad has he has helped plant hundreds of plants here and I have the two tone clutch to represent my Grandma.
My mom and I have beads for each other on our bracelets...we chose the apple with the gold worm. We are both teachers and love that we have that bond. She also has the "Mother's Heart" bead from Chamilia to represent me and my brothers. I also gave her the Tree of Life bead.
Hi,
Definitely buy the beads you love that make you happy. If you want some continuity you may be able to find that in a variety of ways. Maybe you could find some uniformity in spacers. Maybe you could tie it together with a set of black and white muranos. Maybe you will find a pattern of beads that you are attracted to and organize the beads by color like one section of green, one section of blue etc. Really though, I don't think it has to look any one certain way. It just needs to make you happy and bring you joy in wearing it.

Very well said. Today, I rearranged and made one section orange, another green and the center section for my family with the owl for my mom, the three birthstones for my kids (I need something for hubby. LOL)
Thanks! Ever time I see pictures of completed bracelets they are all so pretty and the colors all go together. If i continue to get the beads I want my bracelet is going to be multiple colors. At least I will enjoy it! I am hoping to get another bead next week.
Does anyone here have a 14ct Gold Chamilia charm on their Pandora bracelet?. 
Do the 14ct Gold Chamila charms match exactly the color of 14ct Gold Pandora charms?. Also, are they the same size?.
I am keen to buy a Chamilia charm, but don't want it to look out of place with the 14ct Gold Pandora charms I have on my bracelet.

Hi All,
Sweeton, I have 2 bracelets. One is my ocean themed one and it does have a blue/green feel. I do like it. I also have a meaningful/all about me bracelet and it has less continuity to it. I honestly love both.
Pandora Addict, I have a mix of all charms (Troll, Chamilia, Pandora, and off brand names) on both my bracelets. My beads are silver though. I find that the beads do blend welll. Here's a composite I did the other day (I'm a digital scrapbooker) and I've listed which beads are from which company. Maybe this will help:

I don't have an all gold Chamilia charm, but I do have one with gold on it and the gold on the Chamilia matches the gold on the Pandora exactly.
At last, have managed to post pics of my bracelets, couldn't manage to get the pink one on the same bit though but hey ho it's an improvement!!!
I am also going to fiddle and downsize as i have too many now....the obsession is waning a bit methinks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh socks, forgot to add necklace....another time!

My dear sweet Mom pased away 12 years ago....I still miss her desperately. She was English and very much a lady. We were very close and had what she would call "a true pot of tea" every week. So to honor her I have the teapot that came out very early in the series. I have a bracelet soley dedicated to every person in my family. My Dad has a fireworks star, he was in the military in WWII; For my kids I have a heart for my son as he was born with severe congential heart defects and made it! He's now 27 and has a geat life. For my daughter~the Katrina angel. And so on.
I have 2 Pandoras~from the early days and mostly silver. And one Troll, which is pretty much dedicated to things I treasure about myself and things I like. I have extra beads, so should probably get another bracelet to start it. Some of my Muranos are now what I would guess are called collectors items~as I bought them so early.
I would love love love to do a 14k bracelet, but everytime I price one on the site that let's you build one~it comes to over 3K...for that price I would rather buy diamonds!! But I love my pandora and troll bracelets and always will. I even made one up for my DD when she graduated college and she just loves it. They are addicting little trasures~for sure!

ps: I forgot in the origonal message~ A couple of Christmas' ago my DH prompted by DD got me a really pretty troll necklace it has a pearl at the end of it and a bead that you sting the chain through (all parts separate of course!) and then he got me a bunch of really pretty muranos in blues, pink and greys. You can wear it a bunch if differnet ways~ "Y" stule, lariot, regaular way, and a few otthers. It's very pretty. I'm not sure if they make it any more though. 
I also have a Chamilia charm with 14k gold on it (Triangle KD-18). I does match perfectly and it great quality. I have had it for a long time...more than 3 years...and it looks just as good as it did when it was new.
