I'm considering putting a few Chamilia charms on my wishlist...pros/cons to these? I'm tempted to stay a "Pandora purist" but there are 2 Chamilia pieces that I looove.

Does anyone have the Robin's Nest or the Mitten?


And more Pandora-related: my fiance's little sister lost her bracelet that she got for Christmas from her boyfriend and his parents. It went missing over a month ago (?? I think) and she FOUND IT!! the other day. I'm so happy for her, she was devastated when she lost it.

I have the Chamilia nest bead and I love it! I wear it on the Chamilia bangle (which I also adore) and it looks lovely with the new Pandora light blue enamel vine bead!

Has anyone seen the new cabachons in person? I am wondering how nice they look. I am thinking specfically of the Citrine color for a two tone bracelet. They aren't jumping out at me in the catalog.

I have seen the cabachons and they are prettier in person. I was not sure about them either but I think that they would add that extra sparkle to a bracelet. I was thinking of starting a two tone bracelet with the 5 heart muranos that I already own and then add either the aquamarine or amethyst cabachons along with silver and gold beads.

I broke down and bought the black one. I was surprised by their size. They're bigger than I expected. I don't have it here with me but I'll take a pic as soon as I get home!

The citrine color was quite beautiful. Not as orangy though.

I keep hinting to dh for the I love you bead. Eventually he will get it. I am planning on buying a couple of solid gold pieces like the cage bead or the new interweave(think that is the name) gold bead to set off the two tone ones. I will probably do an initial, seashell, Oh bead, and clutch purse. Ah, my wish list is long! This one will not have muranos but I will bling it up somehow. You have specific ones in mind for yours?

1. Another champagne oval light
2. Two tone ring cluster bead
3. Two tone star w/cz bead

This is my list so far.

i love the cabochon beads. I have the blue topaz, amethyst and citrine. The citrine is alittle more orange/yellow but i love them all. I wear the citrine and blue topaz together with the sunshine, evil eye dangle and blue ivy enamel on a leather bracelet. the blue and amethyst are not as intense as you would expect them to be. The color is softer because they are almost like glass. The carnelian is next on my list. its a very pretty coraly color. the pink opal is also next on the list. I will try and take new photos and post tomorrow. I have been changing things around again. Its a disease to which there is no cure. LOL.

Thanks for posting the pic. I love your bracelet! I actually looked at the onyx flower bead this week. I am sure it will end up in my collection at some point. :graucho:

I have the double black bracelet, and the onyx/diamond charm is at the top of my list! It is much prettier in person! I also love the cabochons, and would like to add those as well.

YES LOL.... I got my refund from the seller and start my hunt again. I made a rule for myself all beads over 50.00 (not including new releases) I ebay or buy with gift cards.
I have buying on ebay to a science..gently used buy it now from regular people not stores. It has not failed me till today lol. But I am still loving ebay.

I love ebay too! I know my charms, and I have gotten some great deals! I always look at feedback, the reason the seller is selling, and what else they are selling.

Right now I am struggling, because there is a special gold charm I REALLY want for my birthday (which is a BIG one, very deserving of a gold charm I might add). I see it on ebay, from a trusted seller for considerably less ($75 off full retail?) but the point is I want DH to buy it for me. He doesn't ebay, he's struggling just to figure out how to go into a regular store and get what I want! but ohhh, I could save him enough to buy a cabochon to go with it!

Hi all from a new Pandora addict.:smile1: I have a couple of questions. I noticed that many of you have safety chains on your bracelets. I wondered why since the closure seems so darn secure. After wearing my bracelet I think I know one reason why - the last beads on either side of the closure on mine get stuck on the grooves where the beads get screwed on. Annoying. I think that the only remedy for that is to buy two more clip on spacers for either side of the closure or a safety chain?

Also, about bracelet sizing. I have really thin wrists. I wanted to buy the 7.1 silver bracelet and was talked into the 7.5. Even more than half way filled, with 11 beads and two clip on spacers, this bracelet is HUGE on me. I can fit three fingers between it and my wrist. That's not right, is it?

I am thinking about exchanging it for the 7.1. Thanks for your help.
