kayla, welcome! :welcome2:
About the sizing...when my 19cm bracelet is full, its a snug fit, but i prefer them a bit looser, so my others are 20cm, but it all depends on what you prefer. The best suggestion i can give is to go into your Pandora stockist and try on some full bracelets (they'll probably have them on display anyway), then you'll get an idea of how they'll be once full :smile1:

Pandoraholic, thank you...i love it too!! :love: The oval lights really are stunning on it. I've decided my other half will get me the mother of pearl heart balls for my birthday - he just doesn't know it yet!!

Last night i ordered a champagne cz oval lights bead for my two tone bracelet, cant wait to get it. I have the two tone buttercup dangle on the bracelet and it has a champagne coloured cz stone in it, and the colour really is lovely, it'll go really well :smile1:

Hey, i'm new to Pandora, just got my first bracelet for Christmas and have only got 4 beads and two clips so far. I'm going for a pink and purple theme and was wondering if anyone has any pictures of bracelets in these colours which I could steal ideas from or could reccomend a good facebook group I could join.

Maria 1978 - What beads do you have on your pink/purple bracelet?

I'm struggling with mine -its only purple and silver at the minute but im thinking there isnt enough colour on it and dunno what other purple beads would go with it so was thinking maybe add abit of pink?

thanks
Hayley

Hi Hayley... my pink and purple bracelet was, until very recently, just a pink & silver bracelet. I've taken a bunch of beads off to do it in pinks & purples.
I'm at work atm, so i cant post a pic, but on it - in pink, there is two pink muranos, pink cz oval lights & the pink enamel petals bead. So far i just have the purple enamel zen bead (which is going to be my centrepiece, flanked on either side by two pink cz spacers) and the purple oval lights...I have on order two purple muranos and the purple enamel petals beads. The rest are silver.
I really do like pinks & purples together...the pink oval lights is very sparkly so that would be good for you to add a bit of colour :smile1:
If you can, go into your Pandora store and have a look at some beads, play around a bit.
Actually, i've seen pics of green and purple bracelets, they look stunning...might be another idea?

Maria - It sounds lovely
I think I need some muranos on mine as they can bring alot of colour can't they and I do like the ida of the pink oval lights -may try and look at one of them in the store and see if that goes.Is it quite a bright pink?
At the minute I have alot of silver on it , then 2 of the purple zen beads , the purple oval lights and two not sure what they are called beads (ha ha)-silver with circle pattern and little purple stones around it.
My 12 year old daugther has green murnaos on hers so maybe will have a try with those(if she will let me!)
Will let you know what I decide.

I don't have it anymore, but I had a black and white bracelet! It was superrr pretty! I should have never sold it =(. I definitely recommend doing it! It's very classy!

Thanks Miss Kris! You might have convinced me! I wear A LOT of black, so a black and white pandora might be nice to have! For now I am having my DH get me the turquoise zen bead to finish off my blue and brown bracelet and then off to the second one! :D

Hopefully when it's finished it will be lovely! ;)
The pink oval lights is more baby pink than cerise pink, if you see what i mean...but its not pale, it is bright...look at one in the store for the best idea! The pink and purple oval lights look gorgeous together tho.

I'm sure whatever you choose you'll love :D Actually, have a look at

So after searching and searching.....I've come to the conclusion that I will never see my gold clip again....:cry: so I just had to do something to chear myself up..lol

I just went to the Pandora shop at luch and bought 3 black zig zag muranos and an oxi bracelet for my new black themed bracelet... I wanted to buy 2 black oval light beads and 2 clear ones, but they were sold out...better for my pocket book I guess :)

I've also decided not to replace my gold babbling brook clip....I'll purchase a 2 tones one instead, that way if I lose another one, it won't be so expensive...

Maria-- Just so you know, the champagne lights bead is a bit bright and garish when you first get it. It doesn't really look like the champagne CZ in the buttercup bead at all...at first! Give it a few days and a bath and voila! It settles down and looks less neon! lol

I have 3 of them on my two-tone bracelet, all purchased at different times, and they all did the same thing. It could just be my Pandora retailer...yours could be perfect, but I just didn't want you to be surprised or disappointed if it didn't match Buttercup.

givemegold, thanks for the info. Once its had a bath, does it look good on your two tone bracelet? I'll have to have a look when i go to the Pandora store tomorrow (to pick up my blue cz clips that were out of stock the other day :smile1: Lets see if i can show restraint for a change!)
I'm getting mine online so i wont be able to cancel the order now, but if it doesn't turn out to be what i wanted, i can always sell it on eBay!!

Do you have any other cz beads on your two-tone? I've just got the buttercup (and the oval lights in a few days), but i'd love a bit more sparkle on mine, just dont know what beads to go for :thinkin:

Maria~
I love my Champagne lights. Don't worry! I just wanted to let you know that there could be a chance that it wouldn't match your Buttercup bead. Now that my lights have been bathed, they look great! They started out quite peach-y, but not look like champagne... Does that help?

On my two-tone bracelet, I don't have a lot of bling. I don't have any muranos either. I have 3 Champagne oval lights, 2 champagne mini lights, the Buttercup bead, Oh My!, and the "Pandora Silver Band bead" 79172CZ.

You needed a goody!!! I am glad you got SEVERAL. :) I have the black Zig Zag muranos on a Oxidized Bracelet, too... see pic below. I have added a 4th murano and the princess and the pea bead I got for Christmas but this picture is close enough. lol I wear it all the time usually in the middle of my all silver (no murano)s and my all two tone (no muranos). Enjoy building yours!

I wore that bracelet all the time.....but the muranos are in "Time Out" :graucho: .

I am now wearing all silver beads (no murano) on the bracelet. I am into layering since Ms.Maria spoke about channeling your Pandora layering diva, maybe she did not say it just like that ;) but that is what inspired me to rework my babies to make 3 work together.Now I wear 3 almost everyday. I love wearing 3 especially in the winter but the last two winters I only had 2 bracelets to layer with. I also feel like I am getting more use out of them, especially since the dang things cost so much to make! :nuts::D

givemegold...thanks for the reassurance! I'm sure i'll love the champagne lights once its been worn & bathed. I was planning on getting two to add some sparkle to my two tone bracelet. I wonder why bathing them tones down the colour?? :confused1:

Using_Daddys_$$...loving your black baby :heart: And i am glad i have inspired someone to chanel their Pandora layering diva!!!:woohoo: I love wearing all of mine at the same time...like you say, they cost so much i want to get as much wear out of them as possible! I dont believe in keeping things for special occassions, so atm i'm wearing my black bracelet on my left wrist along with my watch, and the other three on my other wrist.
I like to be noticed! ;)

I went to buy my gold bead today (75458 ) they didn't have it in so it's on order but I have to tell you this story.

As one woman was serving me this guy came in on his own and to the other sale assistant he said "I'll buy that bracelet in the window please" It was a silver pandora bracelet with gold clasp and it was full of different coloured oval lights beads plus 2 gold clips.
The assistant pulled out a silver and gold clasp bracelet from underneath the counter and he said "No, I want that one with all the beads on it".
She looked shocked and said "That's $3407 minus 20%" He hadn't even asked the price.
He just nodded and said "Yeah, I'd like that one"

I was in awe and secretly wondering if he was actually going to buy it so I stayed and pretended to look at other beads.
Then he decided that the whole point of the bracelet was for his girlfriend to add beads she wanted and she couldn't do that because it was full so he asked the assistant to take off half the beads and he bought the bracelet half filled with oval lights beads, 2 gold clips and a $1000 gift voucher for her to choose her own beads.

and there I was spending ages debating if I should get the $261 or $303 gold bead minus 20% LOL I felt like a cheapskate

What a lovely gift... and where to I find a man like that!???
