Debpie I can't wait to see your pics- This thread is awful at encouraging the Pandora Obsession- same as the Handbag threads. You will be in safe hands here though i assure u. Congrats x
maria1978 I love the 2 tone clutch- it is on my 2 tone Pandora- as u can see from the Avatar pic- I got it within days of it's release here in Australia- so many on here were jelaous at the time cause i think we had the release before the States ;o)

If fact the day I got my wh*re (I couldn't stop laughing when i read that in your post LMAO) I got her from a Silver stockist in Melbourne CBD city center, but the Pandora Concept Store in the main Mall didn't even have ANY of the new beads for sale yet. I was wrapt i found her in a little mall removed from the main street I did pay full price though :o(

Pandoraholic,:ty: I appreciate it! I have to admit I was a bit overwhelmed when I started building my bracelet and before I knew it I had over $1,000 on it! I cut it in half and decided I better start with a few and then build from there. I think it will be fun to pick a special bead and add one at a time but I am a bit impatient...:greengrin:

Oh and I wear mine EVERYDAY- I wear my silver/purple bracelet on my at home days (at home in 40C heat today- aircon and bracelet on) and a little more in the winter and I wear my Pink/2 tone pandora every other day- i love it sooo much.

:graucho: It's sooo easy to do- spend a fortune and get carried away. Try and slow it down for you might find it works better and u should try and be careful with choices- at a time with both of mine i thought i'd wasted my money and didn't REALLY like them- a bit of changing around selling a few, palming some off to my daughter and making a few new additions and i loved it again. It is very symetrical though now and that's how i like mine- but the beads are mainly for occassions and events from the past 12 months- I've had a busy year so lot's to celebrate and remember in both my bracelets 2.;)

Not a dumb question at all..... Kendalldew is an eBay seller who mysteriously shows up with Buy It Now style auctions. Apparently you need to be alert as she lists beads and WHAM, they're gone!

I think that would be the best job in the world!
Actually when the Pandora Concept Store was opening here, i desperately wanted a job there. I'm a store manager, and have been for years, but i'd have chewed off an arm to work in the Pandora store (hmmm, not an arm, i wear my bracelets...maybe a little toe or something!!:p), so i'd applied for the sales assistant vacancy...the manager called me, basically asked why i was applying for a sales assistant vacancy when i'm a manager. I think she thought i'd be after her job, but nope - i wanted it just for the love of the product. Sigh!:shucks:

So my jealousy know no bounds, LipGlossQueen!

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.

debpie, have an awesome time choosing your beads, enjoy it and love it:flowers: And once the obsession really kicks in, dont blame us!! lol! Like Pandoraholic said, it's too easy to get carried away and want everything as soon as yesterday, i'm still like that although i think more about my purchases these days...i used to just buy beads cause i liked them, with no thought on how they would look on my bracelets. I've sold all my 'mistakes' on eB*y tho, so no harm done!
And pics are a must!!:yahoo:

Maria, Thanks! I can see how easy it would be to get carried away! I was able to visually see the bracelet as I built it but that is not the same thing as putting it together IRL, the sizes don't vary much when you do it on the website. I will def post pics when I get it!
 
#1,646
^^ In my very humble opinion, i've never found the bracelet bulider things on websites much help..as you say, the sizes are not to scale, they dont seem to allow you to put as many beads on as you would IRL, and quite frankly they scare the living daylights out of you when you see how much your desired bracelets will cost!! :shocked:
I dont know if you're near a stockist, but both my local concept store and gold stockist are great at letting me play around with the beads, seeing what looks good on your bracelet etc. They always know they'll get a sale out of me even if i go in and tell them i'm not planning on buying anything! :blushing:

I have a day off tomorrow and i'm planning on going to the concept store, just to LOOK at gold beads. I will not buy. I just want to see what would look good on my yellow/two tone/gold bracelet. I will go away and think about it. I will not impulse buy.

Yeah right...who am i kidding?!!! :greengrin:

I stumbled on a website that sells Chamilia beads and I ordered a bead I couldn't resist, a little camera. Has a little crystal where the lens of the camera is. Then I saw the Chamilia Murano beads and they look REALLY pretty, swirly colors, I would love to see them in person!

So, just wondering if any of you use other (quality) brands of beads on your Pandora or are you a loyalist?

Maria.... I can't identify two beads on your bracelet, are they Pandora or another brand???

I would love a gold Angel and the gold handbag and two gold balls that are open and lacey.... and so on and so on. So far I've only purchased gold spacers which help with the two tone theme.

Let us know what you come home with!!!

Oooh Steph, thats very clever of you to do that with my pic!!! Yup, the bottom bead is indeed the lighter of the new wooden beads. The pink sparkly one is Charm Candy...I am very much a Pandora loyalist, but i do love that bead, its just so pink and so sparkly!!:girlsigh:
So that answers your other question...all my beads are Pandora, apart from four - two charm candy, a dog which i love and a little mother & baby one, which was given to me when i miscarried. I used to have Chamilia's eeyore with the gold bow on his tale, very cute but he was very small, got completely lost among my other beads, so i sold him as i was never happy with where he went:sad:

By the way we have VERY similar tastes when it comes to gold beads. I'm STILL waiting on my gold angel from the US (actually, seeing as i bought it on eB*y, i've opened a dispute claim about it...the tracking info i received says that the USPS haven't received my item to deliver, grrr :cursing:), i really really really want the gold handbag, and i love those two open lacey balls too (i wrote the code of one of them down for tomorrows VIEWING expedition: 75458, that the one?)

Note i said "viewing"?!! lol!;)
