Thanks for the info nyhockeymom91 and MissyMomToTwo ... I have looked again at the marks but they are quite faded and hard to read. Can definately make out DISNEY and 925, also can now make out a letter C. There is another mark but I just can't work out what it is. There is definately no CHAM which worries me slightly. I got it from a jeweler who says he's liquidating stock as his shop is no longer stocking Chamilia. Here is an auction link...

Unfortunately I am just not loving my new Chamilia Mickey Mouse bead!!! I took it into my local jeweler who stocks Chamilia and they verified it is authentic [which is great] but he just doesn't look right on my bracelet x ... I am very fussy about my bracelet and want it to be perfect. x :tup:

Hi,

I have been reading this post with great interest.

I got into Pandora beads after moving to Germany from U.S. Here Pandora is sold in almost every department and jewelry store, but I had never even heard of it when I lived in the U.S. So imagine my surprise to find out how popular it is, after sending a bracelet and bead to a friend as "quaint little European jewelry", lol. My friend lives in San Fran, and probably has a few Pandora stores around her, lol.

I am curious to see if everyone, if not most, prefers a completely filled bracelet. I've been reading up on how people go about filling their bracelet, and some people mentioned they wouldn't even wear their bracelet until it's full.

Right now I have 5 beads + 2 clip beads on my bracelet, scattered between the 3 sections. I plan to get only 5 more beads, so I can have 3, 3, and 4 beads for the sections + the clips. Then I am done.

After browsing through all the bracelet pictures posted here on tPf, I think I really just like the look of a few beads on the bracelet with a lot of movements. Also, I don't like Murano beads (for myself). I like how they look, but I just prefer beads that have meanings to me.

Am I the only one who will have a partially filled bracelet with no Murano beads? Will I be banished from here forever, lol?

I personally like my bracelets to be all filled. I have a full SS one and a SS one that is less than half full. Sometimes I wear them together and sometimes I just wear my full one with a black leather one. I tend to switch my beads around all of the time to change the look.

Hi Voodoodoll,

I think the joy of charm bracelets, tradition or build-a-bead style, is doing exactly what you want. I have one bracelet full with Muranos. I also have a second bracelet that I like to wear a few silver beads, a few spacers and that's it. I too like the movement and meaning behind the beads. Now, because I have that "collecting" bug, I find myself getting a few themed sets of beads. For example, I have 5 Halloween beads that I wore with spacers in the fall, then I switched them to 3 Christmas ones and now I have 5 Chinese ones for Chinese New Year. As silly as this is going to sound, I felt a teeeny-tiny self conscious that I was wearing my bracelts "incorrectly", but then I said "nah." They bring me joy, I enjoy browsing, collecting and wear them and that's what matters.

Hi, I prefer mine completely filled. However, I think that Pandora bracelets look great both ways, full or or with just a few beads. I have two that are completely filled but most people I know have them only partially filled. As for the Muranos, I love them but I also like the look of just the silver or gold beads. I have one with Muranos and one without. So in my opinion, anything goes as long as YOU like it!

hey ladies, thanks so much for your input on my 2nd bracelet...I did end up returning it today :( I'm kinda bummed cuz I really wanted to do the second bracelet but didn't like the way it looked with only a few on it. Plus, for some reason I don't want to separate the beads I have on there already! Its like they all have a "home" next to each particular bead or something...am I crazy!???? I want to collect a few more beads (def decided on doing a beach theme and already have the two muranos picked out plus which beads I'm gonna get) before buying another bracelet. When I returned the bracelet, I picked up two more clips for my current one. It drove me NUTS when the beads would spin so tightly against eachother until I separeated them!!! I mixed it up, took them off, put them on, took them off (i swear, my thumb was cramping up!! LOL) and finally decided on how I want it...now I'm leaving it alone!! I did have to end up taking off my green hearts murano tho :(''''

Hi ladies,

I wanted to show you all my Valentines gift from my sweet hubby.

I hinted off to my eldest child that I would like the pandora lariat necklace, so they went off shopping and got the necklace but hubby thought it was a bit plain so he got the two muranos and ball of hearts charm. I already had the two heart spacers.

I just love it.
