Hi Girls ...... My first post on here but some useful info from another Pandora addict!
I was lucky enough to tag along with a jeweller friend of mine to a trade show where Pandora were exhibiting and got to see the new Spring beads and they are fab! Love the new range! The Crown is stunning and quite large and sparkly ~ can't make up my mind how much I like it. There are some beads like the smaller version of the Ovals Lights but they are cabachons and the colours are beautiful so will be heading for those when they come out. There are quite a few soft pastel colours in the range and they're really pretty. The Pandora guy said the beads will be increasing by about £3.00 across the board in May/June .... I guess when the spring beads are released.
Eryn... I wear a clip on the very end of my bracelet with the safety chain on the other side so nothing can come off or move on to the very end of the bracelet. Apparently you only measure the length of the very smallest links to get the length, not the whole thing. I asked because I thought I'd been sold a 6cm instead of a 5cm.
For someone else, re: the necklace .... I wear the 42cm length and have the lovely Gold Band Garland on it. It sits just below my collar bone so it's on show no matter what I wear. I also have the Gold Band Garland as the centrepiece of one of my bracelets. Will post pics when I work out how to.
Loulougil ... I have the Ovals Lights Charms, bought from my local Pandora retailer some time ago. It's got two threads inside, one on either side of the holes for the gemstones and the writing is silver like the charm, not black like some of the others and it's a shiny silver. I now only buy from a seller on Ebay, definitely genuine. She's a top rated seller with no negs or neutrals and posts really fast.

For me, I have a bracelet that is "done." I have the exact beads I want in the place I want. Then I have a collection of loose beads that I like to mix-n-match. I keep thinking that someday I'll be done with the beads. My interest will switch to something else. Yet with each new collection of beads released, I daydream of a collection I want. For example, I was thinking today how cute a bracelet with flowers, watering can, ladybug and butterflies would be for spring. Don't get me wrong. I do have some beads that just don't work for me and I need to sell. We should create a list somewhere for us to swap unwanted beads.
