Pandora Bracelets anyone?

[talkativeone77]

ok, need some advice.
i have 10 charms plus safety chain, this is my first bracelet, and up till now i have been committed to being a Pandora purist. I jsut think they are way nicer thant he other brands anyway, but have always planned to only have pandora charms on there.

Well, i have always wanted one to represent the love i felt for my dog when growing up, my 2 cats i had in my 20's and my dog i have now...and chamilia beads have a GREAT paw prints one...



do you think this is worth breaking my pandora only rules for? im thinking it is...i love it - your thoughts?

that's sooooo cute : ) I doubt anybody will even realize it's not pandora - it will look super nice on your bracelet!!!! go for it!!!!

Ah, I've been busy and have a lot to catch up with in this thread. All of the bracelets that have been posted recently are beautiful!

I think that new bead is pretty. Do we know if it has a clear cz stone or if it is some other color?

Hi

I was looking for a site about Pandora collectors and i wound up here instead. I was so amazed people were as addicted to Pandora as i was. I read the entire forum in one morning ( I was in bed sick lol ) as a result i have now added 3 more beads to my bracelet from Ebay today alone.

Im relatively new to pandora shopping, im not really into jewelry but my partner bought me one as a decoy Christmas gift the year she proposed. She thought i was going to be something i wore once in awhile but i never took it off. I started with Two initial beads ( A and C ) a music note dangle ( she is a muscian) a Butterfly ( my nick name is Mariposa which is butterfly in spanish) and Love in Chinese. Now this was Christmas 06... i didnt really get into it until Christmas 07 when she bought me a turtle ( Yertle) and a frog and i realised that there were all kinds of Charms. So far i have about 45 charm give or take. Not all are pandora though i've found some gorgeous beads online at Esty and on Ebay but in the last few months i've been leaning more and more towards Pandora. They are so cute but sooo expensive. I ordered the Ugly Duckling, the 4 leaf clover and the Rhino.... Im going to get the cupcake, Hippo and the penguin next.

I have to say it again i love this thread.... i have noone to talk to about my obsession and my partner while indulgent is getting a little tired of me showing her the animals and obsessing over the strawberry. (which i must have) so if noone minds i'd like to join in and obsess here with people who understand me

Welcome to the forum, Alison! You are not alone!

Can't wait to see pictures of your Pandora!

Hello Ladies

I like the new bead. However I would love to see it in person. Wonder when Aus gets it?

If you love the paw print charm from chamilla you should get it. I am tempted to get their gold little girl if Pandora don't hurry up and do theirs in gold....

Welcome Alison. I got mine for Xmas 06 from my husband (however I found them and hinted pretty bad ) I am glad you have found some others addicted like you. And I agree.... they are not real cheap are they!

I hope everyone has a nice day. Mine is planned in the garden. (I have 4 acres of garden - I'll be buggered by the end of the day )

 

[Luckyeshe]

Golden Touch- 4 acres oh my!! Hope you had a great day in your garden!!

Ladies, I just got an A on my tax final as well as a B+ overall for my tax class! I can officially do taxes! But, I wanted to commemorate the grades as well as pat myself on the back by getting another bead! (Any reason to get a pandora and I'm all for it) Now the question is what should I get?! Should I get an owl (for wisdom/knowledge/etc) or a money bag (for the amount of money I will earn myself doing taxes on the side). Hmm....Any ideas would be helpful! If you ladies can think of other, I'll consider them all!

 

[Golden Touch]

Hi Ladies offically buggered - yes 4 acres is a lot, but I love it. I can have sheep, ducks, chooks etc but it is a lot of work. Still need to go and water in some new plants but I am done for the day - until tomorrow .

I have so much spraying to be done. Would of been a good day but I can't do it as I am in the middle of fertility treatment.... If only my plants grew as well as weeds.

How about a as you have "graduated" to be able to do taxes. Mind you I think the suits the tax man perfectly!

Hi Ladies

I have been shopping today and have got my Step Daughter a couple of more charms for her braclet.
I got her and
she already has so I am hoping it will look more "themed" as just the one glass bead looked weird. She loves blue (I wish she loved pink!) and she wants a blue braclet. I don't think I will get to many more blue beads but please help - any suggestions?!

Anyone got a blue braclet? I love the enamel flowers and this one to I think I will get her a couple of these. Thoughts?

Wow! What a great start! I can't wait to see what you do with the new bracelet. I love the cupcake charm! I hope to get one soon!

 

[Golden Touch]

Happy Birthday to you! Have you got your gold spacers from ohmygiddyaunt as yet? If so are you happy with them? Your full braclet looks fantastic. It won't take you long to fill up no 2 at this rate!

I am going to order some prob next week for my step daughters braclet.

I love the money bag one. I'm thinking of buying that for myself next month as I will have had the biggest month for my job in over 8 years. Plus, the house one as we are closing on our new house Monday.

Where do you guys buy them besides stores that sell Pandora stuff.

Advance congrats are in order then! Biggest month in over 8 years, that's awesome! There are a few places for buying beads. You can try www.belloparadiso.com, www.pandora-beads.com, www.chains-and-charms.com and out of the 3, bello gives 10% discount on the charms. Unfortunately, they don't have any new ones so if you're interested in charms from Fall/Spring 05- Fall/Spring 07 then you're good to go.

Golden Touch, those are wonderful beads for your stepdaughter! She's very lucky to have you for a stepmom! You may want to try going for clear cz beads to help fill her bracelet. When she's older, the clear cz beads would go with more and she'll be able to use them as staples for her bracelet. She can add colors like the blues or pinks and switch them up with just a few key charms instead of having to continuously buy beads dependent on color theme.

mmkk, holy wow!! What can I say, woman! Your bracelets :okay:are GORGEOUS! I can't believe you already have 9 beads on your new bracelet! You will have a full one in no time! So, did those gold spacers ever come in? Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough since I was admiring your new one instead....

 

[Golden Touch]

Great Idea Luckeshe! I am sure She will change her mind as she is older.
I prefer the silver, gold and two tone. She likes the colour. She does have mainly silver beads. But I will look at what you mentioned.

I think I am the lucky one in regards to my step daughter I just love her to bits. She is 6 (going on 16). Bilogical Mothers have told me that I will realise when I have my "own" children just how different that love is for your child and your step child. That annoys me, I don't know how I could love her anymore. That is sort of saying that if you don't give birth to them you can't "really" love them. I'm sure lots of Adoptive parents and other Step parents would disagree. I treat her just like she was mine (but we only have her 50% of the time )

I'm planning on getting another bracelet because mine is pretty full & i know it sounds daft but i kinda preferred it when it wasnt it feels so chunky now?!? So i'm going to get a new bracelet & spread the beads out (& add one or two ) but i can't decide on what bracelet to get the Silver Pandora Bracelet With Pandora Clasp or the Silver Pandora Bracelet With Lobster Clasp??
I have the pandora clasp already & quite fancy a change but i don't know if i'd regret it?? The pandora clasp is only an extra 12 pounds!!
What do you think? Have any of you regretted the lobster clasp?
