Your bracelet is so very pretty! LOVE the zen bead! I say go for the spacers.

Woohoo, got the second rubber lined stopper for my leather bracelet this morning, so it's all complete now, here it is...
Question tho, do you think i need spacers on either side of the zen bead? I cant decide...

Copper1977, the prices are crazy in the UK compared to the US, it sucks! :pout:
I'd love to know why too...
Yep, our prices are going up 15% on March 1st as well, so our £20 beads will now be £23. Doesn't sound like much, but when you buy a lot, or go for more expensive ones...:cursing:
Surely they must make such a huge profit that they can offset the increase in global metal prices? And i can guarantee one thing...when the metal prices drop (which they will), the Pandora prices wont drop along side it. Grrr!

I agree - for the amount of gold and silver in the beads, they are still making a HUGE profit! I got an email with some examples of what the new prices will be here in the U.S., and some of the gold beads that are around $350 will be over $400 next month! I would have a hard time justifying $400 on one bead!! I love Pandora but I have to say I am disappointed with such a large price increase during a worldwide recession.

Maria, your leather bracelet looks great. I love the look of the silver stoppers. I think you should go with ss spacers, no color. I think it would take away from the enamel and the oval lights beads if you added more colored stones. Stick with something simple to break up the color. Just my opinion, you should do what you know you will love. Have fun.

I'm thinking just the plain ss spacers too, LipGlossQueen, thanks for your input! :flowers:

I'm off work today, and i'm having such a nice Pandora-filled day...even as i type i have my gold and two tone baby in a bath, so she'll be all sparkly later :D I've taken my lariat apart and i'll be putting those beads on my new black leather bracelet when it comes, and i'm now trying to decide what to do with my lariat...i'm thinking white with clear cz's?

Hi everyone, I have been an avid lurker here for aaages and have learnt so much from you guys so thank you all. I LOVE looking at pics of your stunning creations ... PandoraScot your newest creation is TDF!!! Maria1978 I love your brown leather with the red beads, how about adding a couple of the red zirconia spacers I love those???
I have had my Pandora bracelet about a month now and adore it. I am trying to take my time and fill it slowly with meaningful beads [like so many of you have said here] but don't know if I can wait as I am addicted!!! In case anyone is interested I have found a fantastic website that sells 9ct gold beads and spacers for Pandora etc ... The prices are superb, delivery speedy and they package beautifully. I ordered a solid 9ct spacer for £24.99!!! Not sure if they send abroad but what a fab way to add gold to a bracelet for a fraction of the cost. Why not check them out???

By the way, does anyone have any TRUTH beads? I have 2 on my bracelet and love them. I got a 9ct gold heart which is stunning. As I am new can't post pics yet but will when I can.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help! I will let you know what I decide to do with the bracelet!!

Maria -- I think it looks fine without the spacers.. but the spacers may help define your zen bead as the centerpiece!!

http://www.denmark-beads.com/cgi-bi...a&searchspec2=RETIRING&sortby=subcategory,sku

This site list sthe safety chains as retiring? Are they releasing new ones :hrmm: .......I hope so we were just posting about that a few pages back.

Could they just be retiring the 6cm chains vs the 5 since most people seem to buy the 5?

PS: noooooo they are retiring the cute little dino!! I love himmm!!

Some one mentioned Silverado beads a while back. I saw them at my local jewlers and they do fit Pandora so they say. They are gorgeous beads and unique! You might want to check them out.

Hi all,

I have been a lurker here for awhile and wanted to stop in and say hi!

You guys are so bad! I went from starting one bracelet slowly in December to three complete ones and one leather "holiday" themed one.

I will post as I have a chance.

Anyways.... I was looking at the denmark beads price increase samples. The elephant is going from 25 to 35. That's quite significant. *sigh* I see more shopping in my future.

Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas and input!!

Barb
