Hi All!
I've been following this forum for a while -- my friend recommended it to me - she is a purse junkie! I wanted a Pandora bracelet for ~~months~~ before I got one.
I turned 40 last month and invited all of my bestest friends and adored family members to choose a charm for me that represented our relationship. I chose to go with sterling silver, because silver looks so gorgeous against my skin.
I am so touched by the charms that my favorite people chose for me, and the reasons they gave. I guess the problem is, the bracelet looks "mix and match," if that makes sense. It's not completely filled yet, so I am hoping that the final charms/beads I add will unify it. I'm hoping you can help me to finish it. The SA was unhelpful and a bit condescending when I asked her for assistance.
As soon as I figure out how to do so, I will post a picture.
So now that my first bracelet is nearly complete, I'm trying to figure out what I want the next bracelet to be. (laugh)
I sort of want to create a bracelet that "represents" my son. I want to put on it all the things that he adores. He's 4. When looking at the charms there are so many things that we do together.
I also want to make a ocean/beach bracelet with blues/greens and sea-things.
I just figured out what you meant by "Kendalldew" and actually scooped up 2 charms today. SCORE!
I have also been worried about buying cheap, knock off charms, but found a site where they are all authentic and each one is sold with a 10% discount and free shipping! There's another site selling charms for $5.99 each - claiming that they are authentic, but I figured that site was too good to be true. I'm reluctant to buy from auction sites in general. Can I mention the websites here? (Thought I'd ask before getting in trouble for rule-breaking.)
I see that there is a 10" Pandora bracelet. Has anyone thought about making an ankle bracelet? Think it would be too uncomfortable?
Hmmm, I think that's all for now. I'm going to search the HELP files for instructions on posting pictures. I definitely want your input.
Thanks!

Hi! I am also new to this forum and love pandora. I have been reading for several weeks and continue to read about "Kendelldew". I have tried to go to ebay and look for her but have not been successful. I just tried again (at 12:15 Central time) and I get the response "user ID was not found." I type the name into the by seller box. What am I doing wrong? I love all of the charms, but can't afford to buy but 2 or 3 at a time. I love seeing everyone bracelets!
Hi there, welcome!!
You've spelt "kendalldew" wrong so you should find her now....you're lucky cos us brits don't get a look in there!!! Can't imagine how she can sell sooooo cheap! x
What a lovely idea.
Maybe to finish your bracelet you could add some Murano glass beads. They would add some color to your bracelet, and if you choose Murano glass beads in the same color theme, they would help to unify your bracelet.
Thank you for correcting my spelling. I just found her on ebay. She didn't have any that I was looking for but her prices are great! I only have 4 charms on my first bracelet. I also bought the necklace, only have three charms on it, but I love both. I really like the necklace. I don't want to fill it only to have about five charms on it. I like seeing the necklace itself. I read about some of the new charms for Fall 2009. I can't wait.

Hi Pandora Addict!
I have been looking at beads, and also at clips. I think I am going back to the jewelry store tomorrow to exchange the clips I have for the "blue CZ tendril" clips so they match. I also like the blue CZ soccer ball charms. I definitely want blue - its my favorite color. I haven't really appreciated the Murano glass beads though. I agree though - adding some color will help to unify my bracelet!
As soon as I figure out how to upload the picture, I'll show y'all my bracelet.
Good choice!I am so glad he chosed the ruby with the red murano! You can always start a second with the heart clip
or add it on like a bead. Definately get the heart, it is one of my fav. ruby bead. And the dangles of course. You can add the pink gold murano and it will like very nice together b/c the red murano has the pink circles. Ohh there is way too many options:girlwhack: I hope u get all the others soonGlamourmum thx for the compliment!
Did anyone get anything good from kendalldew tonight?
I got the two-toned clips and the two-toned safety chain (FINALLY)! She had lots of good beads this weekend... Bad weekend for my bank account! Anybody else get any great finds? What surprised me is that they weren't snatched up right away like they usually are. Maybe people are on vacation.
Hi
I have been reading the few hundred pages of the Pandora threads and I am very excited to be starting a bracelet soon. I ordered a 14ct & silver bracelet off ebay and have decided to use the lilac enamel beads as my base colour and adding in ss & 14ct charms as well as some silver & CZ beads. I used the bracelet builder on pandora site and even though the cost was unbelievable, it actually looks quite good. Haven't figured out to add a link to the picture.

Hello,
I'm new here too...but not new to Pandora!
I have two bracelets on the go right now.
This thread has been very useful! Although I have had some downs with Pandora - I just sold a 14k heart bead on ebay and sent it off but they haven't received it! (Which means that some postman or lady may be running around with a new bead :o( and for the first time ever I may end up with a bad feedback)...
Anyway back to happy things - after a long search I've just found the HCA hat!

Hi all, been lurking, but didn't really have anything to say so haven't posted much.
Welcome to all the new girls!
Everyone's bracelets are looking great.
Thought I'd finally post my cat themed one - made up of beads from different companies.
some details:
sleeping kitties are upside down!
and this is the tribute to my Boy...hence the heart with his name on it.
and this is for my first kitty, Kiriana
so 2 x grey murano's for the two Russian Blues, 1 black bead for Boy (who died 2 months ago) ...and I have just ordered a white bead, for the latest addition to the family a Russian White, Millie:
and yes, they are building right next to where I live!!
