Pandora bracelets... continued!!!

[Pandoraholic]

I agree, i have not seen a good fake yet... the fakes that are on ebay are hideous looking and are so obviously fake.

Thanks Guys- I'm certainly sticking to the stores from now on. I think i might just grin and bear it- as long as it isn't plated which i'm doubting then it should be ok to wear- it looks nice enough- it's just if it is fake it wouldn't be worth what i paid for it but then it has saved me $60 on buying Pandora direct.

And OMG 150% mark up that's AWFUL- so does anyone know for sure do the Jewellers pay that much less buying direct from Pandora- If they do then they make a BIG percentage when they sell them on- I just presumed they got like maybe 20-30%. Funny then that only some retailers will only give 10% off on a large purchase- if you plead with them!

iluvpandora- Thanks for your help- I have decided to put it on my bracelet- It looks nice and i think i'm just paranoid after the seconds or whetever jewels2000 sold a few of us- the ALE has even worn off the 2 my daughter had on her bracelet from him.

I am Luving the Gold bracelet you have- I notice you have it on a 2 tone bracelet- which if u are going to completely fill it like you have, it's a good idea- after all u can hardly see the silver. It is amazing- how long did it take u to do???

I am Loving the Gold Bracelet MichElemental posted with the ruby clips and murano (which I notice iluvpandora u also have) I have one lonely ruby spacer on my pink bracelet- doesn't go the same though- I thought i may get one of the red/pink/gold mystic muranos u both have to blend it in- and just remove my pink zigzag murano. I love my pink mystic murano- it's one of my favorites.

MichElemental that was a FANTASTIC Anniversary present- you are a lucky girl.

No prob...Just as long as you can sleep at night now
As for me putting it on an all gold bracelet, for me that did not make sense cause I do not wear my bracelet until it is full(silly of me I know!). I figure you cannot see the silver hardly through it and i can get 4 gold beads for the same price as the gold bracelet. I have a small wrist and i can't stand it when my bracelet turns downwards...i have issues lol. So needless to say i fill my bracelet very quickly!! I usually go ahead and buy for myself for every occassion i can think of. My husband thinks pandora is a waste of $$ and has sworn not to contribute to my addition Oh well, it better he doesn't know the prices.
I am thinking you can get two red muranos and put it inbetween the pinks? I think that will look pretty cause now the red muranos have pink circles on them not white. You can see it on my bracelet that the middle murano has the white circles. Or you can just buy one and put it in the middle next to your spacer. Go to the store and play around with their beads!!

What a relief- i went back to have another drool at your bracelet and thought i may have insulted u (not that it is an insult) by saying it was 2 tone- in all honesty when i was looking at the photos on the other thread I thought u had it on the Gold bracelet one too.

I can't justify getting the Gold and I'm actually becoming into SILVER anyway and have recently got a bit of Silver Tiffany- so the 2 tone look works well for me.

MichElemental- I LOVE all 3 of your bracelets I like the yellow and 2 tone but love the black and white oned 2. Do u think u'll add less beads to your gold one so u can still see that it is the Gold bracelet- I don't think i'd want to cover all of it up if it was mine!!! Saying that though like Iluvpandora I do find it annoying when they are top heavy.

~The two toned is the silver with gold clasp. I am done with that one for sure.

~With the black and white, I may add beads to switch it up here and there. I love all the crystal options they have.

~The gold (Similar start to yours) is probably not going to be so full just so I can see the bracelet better. With the others, they drive me bonkers if there is space. Not so much the sliver but the two toned did. It's tight, but all the beads move and rotate nicely still. Hard to tell by the pic. though.

I posted this in the other spot. Not sure if I should post here but will anyway.


Gorgeous creations everyone!

I'm truly a crazed Fandora as of now.

My husband got me started on my gold bracelet as one of my anniversary gifts.
I'm surprised he remembered the ruby clips and the colour of the Muranos I was going for with this one.

It's a start. I wonder how long it will take to complete:

My completed silver:

And my recently completed two toned flower themed bracelet. I changed it up a little. Added a Hawaii Flowers gold bead opposite my gold Queen Bee. Also, I needed to put in a couple teeny spacers. One on the bottom portion, another on the side. I tried them everywhere and they would get lost. Surprisingly they looked best next to the clip:

I love them all! When will it end???

Lovely bracelets Ladies! I love the Rubies!

I saw in a window of a Pandora Stockist some bracelets made up with the wooden beads. The one I liked the best was the light "honey" colour. It looked lovely on a two tone bracelet. The "chocolate" also looked lovely on brown bracelet.

hi guys! sorry that some of u are having trouble with the sellers on ebay. I have to agree with you that i have bought a ton on ebay from reputable sellers and have not had a problem yet so far(knock on wood). ! usually will buy from only a handful of sellers i bookmark. The mark up on pandora is a high 150+%. I seen the pandora invoice(accidently left on the counter at my local jewelry store) and it made me sick to my stomach!!!!

Hi all, just a quickie now am back in the land of the living!!!!
In the past have bought from ebay and with the exception of jewels2000 all were def genuine....i have sold on ebay in the past and my source is def genuine (from usa too!!!!) Haven't sold for a while but although i host pandora parties may think about starting an ebay shop....moral of the story please don't judge everybody by the same standard....I have NEVER sold a fake item in my life and have 100% feedback over many years....check your sellers feedback, wish i'd took notice when i purchased the crap from jewels2000....if it looks too good to be true. it probably is!!!!

iluvpandora - OMG your bracelets are breath taking. The ruby bracelet has me drooling. All of them are tdf! Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

pandorababe- Glad to have you back. Thanks for the ebay input it's all true.

 

[Kandi]

michelemental - I feel the same way when will it end; I have four bracelets and bunches of loose beads. Your ruby bracelet is going to be fab and I like what you've done with the gold and silver bracelet. Your DH is a keeper.

 

[Pandora Addict]

Today I picked up the final three beads needed to complete my first Pandora bracelet.

I bought another Pandora bracelet and two fixed beads to start my second bracelet. I don't see myself being cured of this Pandora addiction anytime soon ... lol.

 

[cyndiinphilly]

I finally finished and now have some time to post my ruby bracelet yay! My other ones went through some minor makeover lol.

just breathtaking. Might I suggest a safety chain, especially for the gold. I would be devastated to lose that one

 

[iluvpandora]

Thanks guys!
I do have a gold safety chain but decided to save it for my next bracelet instead. I bought it originally for this bracelet but have no room to put it on. I kind of got carried away with the rubies. Do you guys think that the bracelet will fall off easily? Has this ever happened to anyone? The clasps seems so tight that it seems unlikely for it to come undone...right??

Oh Lady - loose a ruby bead if you have to but put the safety chain on! I have one on my bracelet and my necklace. I wouldn't let my DSD wear her's with out one either.

Mine has come undone. There is a lot of weight on them when they are finished! Plus like every thing we wear often they "wear" - so better be safe than sorry!!
