Uh oh! Now I just went and looked at the Troll glass, because I have been looking for some Black Murano's, and not thrilled with the Pandora selection. I have mostly Pandora, but am not a purist. How do the Troll beads mix? I think Pandora doesn't fit on their bracelets, but you can put a troll bead on a pandora bracelet?

Also try looking at Etsy as there are some wonderful glass workers making silve core beads that fit on Pandora. Plus, some will even do custom work for you.

Hi ladies!

I've been trying to build a pandora bracelet and recently purchased a bead for the first time off of ebay. The bead came and I don't see any discernable marking on it (925, ALE). Did I end up with a fake bead? It is the rose leaf sterling silver bead (sorry for crummy pic).

Axewoman: I love your bracelet!!! Thanks for making me feel better. I have only had mine about a week and I'm dying to finish it up soon. The only problem with doing it that quickly is that you have a MUCH better idea of how much it costs!

Afm.santos: Thanks so much!!!

I got my Pandora today!

I love it so much, can't wait to buy more beads. My camera did not do the Murano justice!


I do have a question though.. The size of the bracelet fits me well but I'm wondering if I should get a size up? I'm unsure if it will fit when I fill it with charms. I currently have the 7.9 in.

Hey your bracelet is gorgeous. I actually have 5 of your 7 charms! I know wat you mean about trying to get good pictures - the beads really do look so much better in real life. Are you going for a particular colour or theme?

When I got my bracelet at christmas I got the 19cm one and when I had the middle section filled I was told by the sales assistant that it would not be big enough to completely fill so I changed it for the 20cm one which i then found was very big on me - the 1cm made such a difference. Anyway I then won a bracelet so I took it in the size 19cm thinking I would wear it until it got too tight and then transfer my beads to the larger one when its full. Well it is now full and the 19cm fits me perfectly! I have 4 glass beads on it which do make the bracelet tighter - if I had say 6 I think it would take the larger bracelet. So basically it depends on how many glass beads you plan on having and also how tight or loose you like to wear your bracelet. I personally do not like them too loose where it comes down over my hand. Can you fit two fingers between your bracelet and arm? Have you went to store to try on different size complete bracelets? That would give you a better idea.

I got it as a gift. I told the person who bought it to pick a colour theme for me since I couldn't decide haha. I guess I'm doing purple now :)

I've yet to try on the other sizes. And I can fit two fingers. I think I have the best size now that I look at it. It seemed tightener earlier, maybe I'm just crazy
