A question for everyone please ... I received my 14ct gold petals murano bead today and although I do love it, I wanted to ask, having never had a gold murano before, only silver ones, this gold one seems much thinner than my others is this right? Obviously it was expensive and maybe I'm being a bit paranoid so thought I'd consult the experts here. It is stamped ALE and 585 and also has 3 more teeny tiny marks that I really can't identify [even with a magnifying glass]. I think I remember reading here that the murano beads are all hand made so everyone would be slightly different. Is that true??

Ilvbeadsalot, yes it is perfectly normal. From the information that you've given it sounds like the genuine article to me. Enjoy your new bead! In fact, given the size variance of the gold muranos, it is the perfect excuse to get more.... :ninja:....;)

I just got my pandora bracelet in the mail(which I love!) and now Im second guessing the size I chose. It fits on my wrist, and rolls up and down my arm halfway and I can put my finger underneather it. Does this sound like the right size or should I have gone up to the next size? Is the how yours fits on your wrist? I only have one bead on so far.

With my bracelet I added 4cm, not sure what that is in inches but I have 5 muranos on my bracelet which does take up room. I've been told as long as you can fit two fingers between your wrist and bracelet but everyone is different, some like them tighter etc.

You also have to take into account that if it is a genuine pandora bracelet, it will stretch a bit.

Can you only fit in one finger? If you plan on putting a lot of muranos on your bracelet you might find that it's too tight. They do stretch a bit though. I bought one 20 cm and now, it's 20.5 cm. Might not sound like very much but it's an increase of approx. one quarter of an inch. Hope this helps you...:smile1:

I can squeeze two fingers underneath it, but it makes it a little tight. I don't think Im going to do murano beads on this one. I was just worried when I start adding more charms it wouldn't fit. Good to know it will stretch a little over time. I guess if it gets to a point of being to small, I'll just have to start a new bracelet. :DThanks for helping everyone. I just order two of the puffy ball spacers and can't wait to put them on. I told my husband I'd only get new beads every once in a while, but seeing all your's make me want to add more and more! Very addicting!
