Hello Fellow addicts! My story started beofre last xmas as a good friend has a completed lovelinks bracelet with lots of glass and I loved it. Told DH that was what I wanted for xmas and I started reserching on the internet. It was then that I discovered pandora!!! I started on xmas day with the pram (ds's first xmas) angel (dd's first part in first school play) and mine & dh birthstones. It is still not complete but my family have brought me all the charms and they all mine something to me.... oh and there is no glass on it!!!

Was maid of honour for my sister at the weekend and she brought me the new best friends scroll. wasn't sure at first but now think its great. Was thinking about getting our names engraved on the other two sides. Any one thought about doing something similiar? What do you all think? :graucho:

dalmunchkin lovely story...and a lovely (& generous!) husband :love:

enelya...STUNNING bracelet, i just love the white mother of pearl love hearts:heart: You've created a bracelet with twisted thing to be proud of!:lolots:

lorna, i love the idea of putting together a meaningful bracelet, i just dont have the patience, i need everything NOW!!! I'm not sure about the scrolls, whenever i've been in the stores i've never looked at them simply because i'm not really interested:shame: But on a bracelet where every one means something to you, i think its a lovely idea to get engraving on them.

Well, this evening i couldn't resist any longer...i bought the two tone clutch purse, YAY! I cant wait to receive it now, again it's being delivered to my place of work so that i can smuggle it onto my bracelet and my other half will never need to utter those dreaded words - "why do you need another bead?":blushing: lol!

How did i discover Pandora????? Well a friend has a very cheap bracelet full of cheap looking (sounds snobby but really it is not great) beads she's got from ebay for a few $ each. She was showing me the Pandora site on the net and saying how she couldn't believe that people paid those sort of prices- but she did like the charms. I really thought nothing of her bracelet- but she loves it which is what counts and i'd never say anything bad to her because she really couldn't afford the real deal.

Anyway that was how i 1st heard of it and wasn't overly impressed as i'd only seen my friends cheap beads IRL. So when i went Christmas Shopping last year with hubby i decided to hunt down a Pandora stockist in the mall we went to. I left with a SS bracelet, the older pink cz handbag, the pink cz heart and a heart spacer- costing $200 ish i thought it was sooooo VERY expensive and thought it would take ages to fill. Xmas Day Hubby also suprised me with the SS Bead with gold and clear CZ flowers and a pink murano as well- that was it it had to be filled and i was a women on a mission whenever i went to the shops i looked at Pandora. Then in May I turned 30 and finished off my bracelet with 2 Gold beads the PINK CZ flower from friends and family, the ruby spacer from my in laws and a gold safety chain from hubby.- Oh but i'd already bought myself the 2 tone bracelet by then so i had a 2nd to complete 2.

They've both been full since August with the exception of one bead i added last week- I have sold a few in the past on ebay- ones that didn't feel right anymore. A few others i removed i added to my 5 year old daughters bracelet- Yes I got her a baby Pandora for Valentines Day this year when she was just 4!!!! Lol

Sorry girls i am a bit of an essay typer.

I always wonder around the jewellery stores in the mall and :drool: over the pandora charm, one day i finally have the guts to go in and really tried it on and almost :faint: with the price for a filled pandora bracelet, but the SA was very nice told me that i can just start with the bracelet and one charm and fill it up slowly, buying each bead for on a very special occasion and it wouldn't have so "painful" compare with buying a "fully filled" one, i have to admit i have no patient for that UNTIL I READ THIS!!!!!
I was actually thinking to get a pandora charm for christmas presents for myself (DH already got me bags I wanted), thank you Pandoraholic!!!!! I will go to the mall and pick the most special 1st bead to start!!

btw, your avatar pictures are soooo gorgeous ;)

divadivine682 i completely and utterly love the two tone clutch purse too, i look at it constantly online & in the Pandora catalogues, longingly hoping that one day she would be mine, never really believing that i would ever meet such a beautiful, desirable being...but not only will i meet her soon, she seems to think its her destiny to spend the rest of our lives together.

And i got her quite cheap too. SIGH...she is such a wh*re!!! lol :wacko::weird:

My love affair with Pandora started in January of 2008. My girlfrined had a Chamilia bracelet with a mixture of beads. Pandora, Chamilia and cheap beads she got off of eb*y. I liked the idea but never paid to much attention. Then a few months later, my favorite store, where I now work, told me they were a Pandora retailer. I wnet in, took a look and bought the bracelet with the boy and girl charms. That was it, I said. No other beads on the bracelet. Just those 2. Ha, ha. Little did I know the obsession that was taking over my brain. Now I have 2 SS bracelets, a gold/silver bracelet ( that I wear everyday) and 2 leather bracelets that I switch on a daily basis. I'm always planning my next bead purchase.

Yes, it is wonderful. I get to help people create beautiful Pandora bracelets. I get to see everything and touch it. Its also torture if I want one and I have to wait until I have the funds. Its a fantastic store and the people I work with are wonderful. We all have multiple Pandora bracelets.

I don't believe in saving my bracelets for special occasions. I know that when you add the prices of the beads up, I wear a small fortune on my wrist, but I love them. What's the point of having it, if you don't enjoy it everyday?

There was a time (when I only had one full bracelet and was working on bracelet 2) that I didn't wear it all the time. I think it was because my bracelet had a strong green-theme and it didn't actually "go" with everything. Now I have quite a selection and wear a bracelet or two everyday. My two-tone bracelet is my favorite and I wear it at least 4-5 days a week. My mom thinks I should save that one for special occasions because of the amount of gold on it, but I don't listen.:p

Wearing my bracelets makes me happy!

I like your attitude about wearing your jewelry. It's to be enjoyed, not taking up room in a jewelry box, waiting for a special occasion.

Thanks Dyyong my avatar pic is of my favorite Pandora Bracelet but it was taken at least 6 months ago and has changed a little since- i now have 2x Two Tone Dangles in the centre section at each side- the heart and star dangles, The I love u cube is on my puple and SS bracelet and the pink CZ SS purse up at the end of the bracelet and one additional two tone flower bead.

I will post a more upto date pic if I can find my camera cables. I took pics the other day but usually i just put my SD card ino the side of my lap top and it's easy- but I can't use my laptop so I'm stuck on my PC in back room of my home and need the cable to load up pics- it must be somewhere?
