It looks like they are not stocking Pandy anymore - theyre not all reduced bu over 50% of them are, sadly none of the darn ones I want though grrrr It was horrible to see my two tone safety chain at £60 instead of £75 when I only bought it just before xmas!

naima_melita, i clean my beads and bracelets in exactly the same way as divadivine682 said and they always come up sparklingHowever, if you have any beads with pearls, dont soak them. Silver cleaners will remove any oxidisation your bead may have, but if you use a silver polishing cloth (i've asked for them before in the Pandora store, and they just give me them), they'll be super shiny!
Maria, this may be a silly question but do you clean the bracelet the same way as the beads? Wasn't sure if you could actually soak the bracelet itself. I've only ever used the polishing cloth on it.
Madkitty there's not much left now 
I was going to get a silver barrel type one for my black bracelet, it was going to be £16, went to checkout and the p&p was £3.50, so i didn't bother just to save 50p! There wasn't any others i wanted either, but the savings on the muranos is pretty good for anyone who's wanting them.
dalmunchkin, yep i clean my bracelet in the same way, I take all the beads off, soak them all for about 10 mins (sometimes longer if i forget!) with the bracelet. I'm not sure if you're meant to, but it's never done my bracelets any harm.

Maria, thanks for the advice on cleaning.
On the topic of the ebay sellers, I agree with all who have warned against purchasing from someone like the Marcella person who has numerous bad feedbacks regarding tarnished and defective products. I would definitely not purchase from her. However, in my experience, there are still some reputable Pandora sellers on ebay and if you are careful and buy only from sellers with impeccable feedback and a long track record, you can get some good deals. I have bought many beads off ebay, usually where I already have one that I bought at an authorized retailer, and wanted another the same, so I was able to compare. They can sell them at a 20 percent discount and still make a very healthy profit. The markup on jewelry is huge so that is why the reputable sellers can sell them cheaper and still make money. I don't think Pandora is able to track down every jewelry dealer who sells the beads on the side on ebay. Just my thoughts.

I have used John Greed Design and have been very happy! They do ship Pandora internationally, too! I got a few retired charms from them!
Hello Ladies!
WOW I loved that Facebook link. Lots of Pandora prints ads I have seen but I loved the jewelry store creations. My BF is dying a pink/green bracelet and now I can vision it. This thread grows so quickly so I dont remember who put out the link but...
!
I have been on a little binge I got the white forget me not bead and a teardrop safety chain.
I ordered the Yin Yang bead and snake online.
I am dying for purple match earrings to match my finished Purple Flowers For You bracelet, silver musical note dangle for my all silver (no murano) bracelet, 2 gold spacers for my Oxidized silver gold and black bracelet and FINALLY a gold safety chain for my 2 tone bracelet (my purely sentimental piece) allowing me to take the 2 tone safety chain off and add it to my Oxidized silver gold and black bracelet. I never manage to save enough for gold safety chain cause I always need a little hit. LOL:devil:
Sorry I am so chatty I usually post from my Itouch so I am taking advantage of a full keyboard!
Have a great night everyone!

^^Can't wait to see the new ones!
Well, I'm done "playing" for now. I'm happy with the clips, I don't like the beads moving around when I wear it.

Love those clips! It's my favorite style because of the large size and more bead-like look with rounded edges. Nice bracelet!
charmqueen, thanks for the info! I cant wait to see the new beads, especially the muranos...i'm guessing February will be an expensive month!! lol!
it'sanaddiction, your bracelet is looking lovely. I got one of those clips yesterday too, i love them. I also got the ridged clip and the two tone one with the gold flower, so my bracelets are all clipped-up now

Charmqueen, I second Maria! I can't wait to see what the new muranos look like Have you seen them? any hints on what the new silver beads will be?

Wow! I am soooo glad that I found this thread! I've recently become addicted to Pandora when I bought my first bracelet almost 2 weeks ago. I am fortunate to have two Pandora retailers/dealers within 10-15 miles from my house. So far, I have collected 8 beads/charms and am planning on an all silver, black, grey and white "theme".
On facebook, I ran across the Pandora Addiction group and saw a ring there called the Switch Click ring which is made to fit the Pandora beads, allowing you to change out your bead/charm anytime you want. I think this is brilliant! There is a website, http://www.switchclickring.nl/3.php, but it looks like it's only available in the UK and Netherlands/overseas, and not in the US. Does anyone know if there is a website or retailer anywhere in the US that sells these rings? I'd love to get one! Or, if any of you have this ring, can you share a picture?
Anyway, I am bookmarking this thread to make sure that I check it out everytime I visit tPF. Everyone's bracelets are looking amazing and it gives me lots of inspiration!!
