Maria, I am a little :sweatdrop: scared to go today! I will do my very best to buy just one! Let see if I can do it!
Question: I wear a 7" bracelet but I ordered the 7.5 thinking it would be big enough to accommodate the charms. Well, it certainly fits but it is not as loose as I thought it would be. It easily slides on my wrist from the bottom about 2". Do you think this is large enough? I read that the bracelets can stretch some too. I am afraid 8" would be too big.

Its been a while but I had to share. Yesterday at the mall my dh stopped at one of the kiosk that sell some sort of "safe" jewelry cleaner.Well the guy selling them cleaned my dhs 2 tone Rolex & some DY and I was impressed.Anyway home came a large bottle of the stuff....and out came the Pandora. I figured if it was safe on DY stuff,then Pandora would be fine.

I was blown away. I just sprayed and gently brushed with a soft toothbrush. I did my 2 tone,and my silver one.They looked brand new afterwards:p
The stuff is called Magic Bling. I cleaned everything in my jewelry box & the stuff is great:)

Anyway this is what my babies look like after their bath.I wish I had some from before...they were not pretty.

debpie...well, how did you get on??? What beads did you buy? (notice, beads, plural, lol!)
I'm not sure about your bracelet..my blue one is 19cms and it's quite a snug fit when it's full, so the other's i got are 20cms cause i prefer to wear a looser bracelet. Maybe ask your store if you could try full ones on so you can get a better idea, they'll probably have some on display so it wouldn't be a big hassle for them!

lolas, your bracelets are GORGEOUS!!!:drool: And very shiny and sparkly, it's obviously good stuff cause they really do look new!

The test is whether you can fit two fingers between your wrist and the bracelet. If you can't it's too small, if you can fit more fingers, it's too big.

Are you getting anything from the storm? If so, I think you need a snowman bead today!

Thanks Izzy! I can fit two fingers (not stacked on top of each other, right?) between it but it is snug!
I think east TN is getting more snow but I do believe that would be a good choice bc it might head our way!

Maria, I haven't left yet but that is a great idea to try some full ones on! I will try to attach a pic of what I have so far!

debpie, looking good already!:D Have you any idea where you want to go with it...I can see a pink and two-tone creation happening there.
I adore the cz oval lights beads, they're so sparkly and add such colour to a bracelet, and yours is just lovely :love:

sakthorp...i googled that cleaner too, checked on eB*y, nothing:shrugs:

maria, Thanks! That is exactly what I am going for, although the two-tone might be beyond my budget right now. To be honest, though, the more I look at the beads the more confused I get as to what kind of theme I want. It might be a hodge podge when I start adding them together! Well, I am :broom: to the pandora store! I'll check in when I get back!

Charmfan,
We got it at the Premium Outlet Mall off International Drive. It was a kiosk infront of the Childrens Place.

Sakthorp, the bottle is big & blue...Ill post a pic from my phone in a bit. They sell some stuff at regular malls called Razzle Dazzle (also a big blue bottle) that I had tried before & it works well on diamonds, but it really didnt do that much on my silver stuff.

The bottle has a site name...www.magicbling.com

debpie you don't need to get them all at once, just get them when you can, take your time and enjoy planning your beautiful creation :love: Pink, silver and the odd two-tone is stunning too, so dont feel pressurised into only buying certain ones, and having to leave out ones you love just cause they dont fit in with your theme.

I so agree with this.;)

Get the beads you love & you'll surprise yourself on how a "theme" develops.It takes tweaking,playing,& even editing till "your" bracelet comes together.

I tried many color combos with muranos just to finally realize....that even though I love muranos on everyones bracelets,I just cant seem to pull it off myself. I did the black/white theme...love it...BUT not for me lol.
I made the mistake twice of selling off beads that I turned around and re-bought because I was trying to follow a theme or resemble bracelets I saw here & there ,just to realize that what I love is what * I * love....so I made the rest work around that.

Now Im finally happy with my results & officially done:yahoo: Not to mention that both are extremely personal & special to me.

I so agree with the last couple of posts. I love all the planned bracelets but for me it's been a case of what firts in with me and my family. It means so so much and I love it for exactly that reason. I got mine last xmas and its still only 2/3rds full! I'm not holding out muck hope for a christmas haul as I've had to get some more practical pressies this year! Debpie I love the start you have made and Lolas yours look amazing!
