I found this at denmark-beads.com which I believe is Charmqueen's website! I hope this helps! I wasn't sure which colors you were looking for but these were in the sample ideas section and it had both the trinity spacers and the silver oval cz (varying colors) on the bracelets.

Hi All,
First let me say I have enjoyed reading through your posts. It feels very warm and inviting here. For those of you who have posted pictures of your creations, Bravo. They are unique and beautiful, each and every one. I wish there were more pictures posted here, I never get tired of looking at these wonderful bracelets.
I've been a Pandora "collector" for about 5 weeks now, ever since my older sister infected me with the Pandora virus. In that time I've managed to put together 4 bracelets plus have a few extra beads to put on a "leftovers" bracelet. When I started of course I was only going to have one, and I was going to build it a little at a time. HA, that lasted maybe all of a day. Before I knew what happened I was in desperate search of the beads I needed to complete the 4 bracelets I had created using the bracelet builder on the Pandora web site. Sneaky devils, aren't they?
I thought I was finally done, on my way to recovery, and then I started looking on eBay again, because of course I was going through bead shopping withdrawal this past weekend after not making any purchases in over 48 hours. I found the deal of a lifetime on two gold beads and two gold clips and now I have this incredible urge to start an all gold bracelet that I have so far managed to fight. Right now I'm planning on putting the gold beads and clips on my silver/gold bracelet when they arrive and I'll remove some of the spacers that are on there now. I'm hoping that will satisfy me enough so I can at least take a breather for a few months, or years, before I start buying more gold beads. I have to say my control was sorely tested when I got a look at Purse's gold bracelet.
Oh well, it's only money...
So, now that they're pretty much complete (except for the latest batch of gold) I've been dying to share them with someone besides my sister. I guess I've finally found a place where I can do that and have them be appreciated as well a place where everyone can understand my "sickness".
Glad to be here among you.

Thanks my_delirium,
I can get a bit obsessive and I get itchy around uncompleted projects! Which is kinda why I'm nervous about my "need" for a completely gold bracelet. As you can all see, patience may be a virtue but it's not really a trait I possess.

Sold it a few weeks ago
What on EARTH was I thinking?!?!? I guess I was feeling guilty about all of my purchases and had to recoup some funds which I quickly spent anyway ush:
Wow! Very pretty! Are they all pandora beads or are there other beads as well? I'm still fairly new to this stuff.
Thanks Purse, quite a compliment coming from you. I've coveted each and every one of your bracelets!
They are a mix but mostly pandora, some chamilia (the blue and green glass, the rose cz octagon spacers, the moose, the silver dog with the gold bone and two gold freedom locks), there is one biagi (the monkey) and three nagara (turtle and two locks with pink czs). The pink leather bracelet with the silver clasp is chamilia as is the silver bracelet with the gold clasp.
In general I seem to gravitate towards the pandora beads for the gold and silver and the shapes. I like the quality and the way the beads are styled, but in certain cases when I was looking for a particular "meaningful" bead and pandora didn't have just the right thing I would look at a different company. However as far as the glass goes, the chamilia have captured my heart. The pandora murano are beautiful, but they don't have nearly the variety of chamilia. The quality of the nagara turtle and the biagi monkey are fabulous and they are definitely keepers, but I did make a few mistakes along the way buying non Pandora or Chamilia and they never even went on the bracelets since they didn't do justice to all the others.

Thanks for your pic of the spacers
Did you sell your bracelet as a whole or bead-by-bead?
Someone was VERY VERY Lucky!
