Does anyone else get inspired by completed bracelets they view online?

I was browsing beads on a site that sells beads (is it okay to say the name of the retailer???) Anyway, I saw this bracelet with black Muranos and I had a little Pandora-asm. I'm not sure it's healthy to have such a reaction to a bracelet, LOL.

I'm just a big fan of the Murano beads!!!!

Sakthorp,
Your bracelets are gorgeous and very inspiring! Thank you for posting them. I hope it would be allowed for you to post the name of the website, I am always looking for websites where I can find pictures of finished bracelets;)

I have a chamilla nemo on my bracelet and it fits in perfectly with my charms. You wouldn't know that it is a different make. I guess it depends on what you are pairing it with. The quality holds up when compared too. I am doing a meaningful bracelet and needs nemo to represent my son.

Maria, as of yet i don't know what i want to do with my bracelet. i was going for the sentimental aspect (as my boyfriend gave me the money for the starter bracelet) but i was so taken away in the shop with the beads i ended up buying beads/charms that had no meaning what so ever! has this ever happened to anyone?! i feel as if i cheated pandoras ethos of treasuring moments lol!

i knew i wanted the silver ghost charm because i felt there where things in my past i needed to let go of and i was holding onto, and until i met my partner i wasnt able to move on from. hence getting rid of ghosts and turning them into positive memories as oppose to dwelling on them. and the hippo to remind me of my nanna who used to ready me this book about a hippo who was a ballerina when i was younger, who has sadly died.

but then i went crazy and bought an elephant, an owl, two stopper beads and two seperates and a murano bead.
i need some inspiration.

in my personal preference i don't wear silver and gold together. my manager in work has a silver/gold pandora and it looks sooo good on her but i just dont feel the contrast suits me? i think its because im a serious perfectionist and everything has to be the same lol!
has anyone got any pictures of all silver or silver and colour completed pandoras? :)

one more thing.. what size bracelet does everybody wear? the lady in the shop said i needed the average one but i went for the biggest they do 23cm as i like it to roll over my hand and look more like a bangle. does anyone else do this?

thankies girlies, god i well and truly have gone pandora mad!:yahoo:

xxxxxxx

Heyy Babyskulls i have 3 pandora bracelets 1 leather which is 20.5cm and very loose 1 is 19cm and is tight and stays in place and 1 which is 21cm and i intend to fill it which is very loose like a bangle.

babyskulls...i know very well how easy it is to get carried away in the shops!! I have four bracelets and a leather lariat, so yeah, i'm no stranger to being carried away! :blushing:
I wouldn't worry about buying beads that have no special meaning for you. There's only one bead i have with any special meaning to me. I have beads that others have bought for me, but mainly i buy ones that i like and that i think will look good!
If you're needing inspiration, the site Using_Daddys_$$ mentioned earlier (denmark-beads.com) has LOADS of completed bracelets to give you some ideas. I was on it earlier and fell in love with the St. Patrick's Day bracelet!! :drool:

I'll pop up pics of my bracelets, let you see what i've done

^^^That's my lariat
I've just realised my pink bracelet pic is old - i've changed it a lot since i last took a pic, so i wont bother putting it up! And my black one has just begun.
Size-wise, the blue is 19cm, the pink, two-tone and black are all 20cm, simply because i prefer it a little looser.

Maria, your bracelets are sooooooooooooo lovely. I hereby crown you the Queen of everything Pandora;)

Your lariat necklace is gorgeous, but your photo's white balance was off, so it took me a minute to realize the charms were purple (I hope???) I took the liberty of adjusting the color of the photo, I hope this is okay. Let me know if I've stepped on toes or got the colors wrong....

Laurie_lou , i've just been on the Trollbeads site from the link you provided - WOW!!! :drool: I've never really paid much attention to Trollbeads before, but some of them are totally stunning. The glass ones and the gemstone ones in particular are just that bit special.
What do you prefer, bead-wise, Troll or Pandora??
