I had a total disaster with my bracelet yesterday, the clasp broke so the chain wasnt attatched at either end (if you know what i mean) so i took it back to the shop and got a new one. Got all the way home only to discover that the end was faulty and my charms wouldnt screw on!!!!! So had to go back and change it again!! The shop was really busy as there the only ones in my area that have restocked so i was stood around ages but they did give a free charm because of all the hassle so i chose the angel : ) ive now got the angel, owl, heart with pink cz and two silver clips : ) ive stuck them all in the middle section but it means the bracelet turns upside down and you cant see the charms. What did everyone else do when they only had a couple? did you space them out or stick them in the same bit? I think my next charms will be a couple of silver and gold round ones but i'll have to wait unless i find a bargin on ebay!!!!

Spugs, when I had just a few charms, I placed them between my clips. I know what you mean that they fall 'under', but I would just spin it around as you wish. Don't worry, before long, you'll have more charms - like the rest of us - enjoy your collection!

Hey Girls. Hope everyone has had a nice weekend. Firstly thought I'd let you all know that the tip about cleaning your bracelet by putting in a small plastic tub with soapy water is brilliant! Did it and mind looked better than it did the day I got it! So easy and fantastic results. Also I hate to say this but you girls are a REALLY bad influence on me. Got jealous of all your purchases and now have my second clip, the love blouse and 2 birthstones on order:-) Nearly 3 wks after xmas and I still can't stop obsessing about pandora and my v small collection! Here's to the new beads in March. Lol.

I might be being thick here - but what soap did you use? Fairy Liquid? or some sort of handsoap? I am scared to death of using the wrong type of 'abrasive' soap!!! :sad:

i second this! I get my pandora cleaned professionally at the retailer and when I take a little toothbrush and some warm water with dish liquid in it my babies come out good as new.

I take all the beads off and scrub the bracelet too because it gets quite tarnished and grungy!

just a normal dishwashing liquid/detergent is fine. i think you only need a tiny squirt. (thats what i did anyway, and it worked well!)

I have been addicted to Pandora for a couple years now. I have two pretty much full bracelets - the beads are so unique and beautiful!

Congrats to all the ladies who got started on this lovely obsession!!

I don't have any troll beads, I think they are a bit more unusual/funky - and Pandora a bit more classic. I think it just depends on your own personal style as to which you prefer. I do think they have nice glass beads though. But I don't like their "standard" beads as much.
I saw some Chamilia recently in real life, and some of them looked quite nice.
The only brand I liked enough to buy besides Pandora was Amorica, and I might still buy a few more, and they had some good "blingy" ones, that fitted the Pandora style.

Hey just saw the latest company to buy into the fad:

Some Troll beads aren't my style either, but I'm in love with the glass!! I LOVE my Pandora too but my bracelet is almost full and I think I'll try a Troll bead next.
