Pandora bracelets... continued!!!

[Golden Touch]

I was told the gold boy and girl are $506 AUS.


I must get saving. I REALLY want one of the gold girls to represent my step daughter - I have been waiting patiently for this. I sent them and email when I first got my bracelet asking for "gold children" and now they are doing them

Hi!

I pulled my bracelets out today after not touching them for quite some time. They have turned a lovely shade of yellow and an almost brown color in the threads and other hard to reach areas. I stopped wearing them while I was pregnant due to the cream that I was using.

I used to take them every couple of months to get them steam cleaned at the place where I bought them from. I had them steam cleaned again, today. I was in the middle of buying new beads when they were returned to me and I didn't notice that the yellow/brown color still remained when they were done. Did I ruin my bracelets? I have spend a small fortune on both of them so I hope not! I tried the Pandora polishing cloth and did not have any luck. I am considering purchasing a smaller steam cleaner for home, but I am not certain if that would be a good idea.

Also, I noticed that my retired elephant charm is scratched. Not the surface scratching, but there are 4 actual scratches in the silver, now. I assume that can't be fixed cheaply?

Finally, I was splashed with chlorinated water while my daughter was in the pool. Is that going to damage the bracelet? It was not submerged. I took a wet cloth and wiped it off in the bathroom later. Hopefully, that will be sufficient.

Thanks!

US ladies sorry :cry: New update from Denmark beads

I spoke to our Pandora representative today regarding the pink leather bracelet with charm. It will not be available in the United States. She thinks that it will be available in Europe and other countries. She has seen the bracelet with charm and said it is adorable. Hopefully, in the future it will be available to stores in the U.S.

Thanks for your interest in our product.

I'm sure Australia ladies will be happy to obtain for you. I will for one.

Hello there!
I am devasted to hear of your yellowing! I have never had that happen but my cleaning tips my help. I get compliments all the time on how bright my bracelets are.
I pull all the beads off ,put then beads and bracelet in a spaghetti strainer. I start running the hot water to ensure it gets real hot. Then I spray blue Windex (real Windex brand)on everything in the strainer and gently shake it.And then I put the running hot water over the beads, if you have the kitchen faucet that will detach use it, it works even better. My jeweler recommended this process before they bought the Pandora tumbler.
May I also suggest you find a dealer that has the Pandora tumbler the tumbler has small little ball bearings and will really give that bracelet a good cleaning. Like you said these cost a small fortune and they need to be shiny and pretty.

Hi Kylie - so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. I lost my Boy in June and know how hard it is.

Seishonagon, Thanks for those links and the info!

I finally have those pictures to share. I have lots of pictures because I have been on a bit of a Pandora spree and I'm super excited so sorry in advance for all the picture spam I'm about to engage in and all of the excited babbling.

I'll start with the new beads I Wednesday. As I said, I am very happy to have discovered this jewelry store by me that sell Pandora. They've been selling the line less than six months but I have never seen such a big selection in person before. They sell the beads, the earrings, the rings, the necklaces, everything! My wallet probably wishes I had never found this place (since in addition to all the money I spent on Pandora there I ended up falling head over heels for a rather expensive 18kt and sterling changeable gemstone ring while I was there this week as well).

Anyway, here are the new beads from Wednesday's shopping trip:

Look at how pretty they did those in the box!

Here is my first completed bracelet. I wore this to work on Thursday and Friday and got all kinds of compliments!

I'm so sad to hear this. I was really looking forward to getting this bracelet.

How much are the 14ct gold Girl and Boy beads?.

Also, the 14ct gold filigree type bead with the hearts and diamonds?.

Thanks.

The gold girl/boy beads are $506 and the gold filigree with hearts and diamonds (there are 2 new ones I think) one is D $482 and the other is DB $398. Not sure what the DB stands for as they are both 0.05ct. Hope that makes sense.

Also thanks for the comments on my cat.

So after drooling over the large Pandora selection Wednesday, I could not get the changeable earrings out of my head. I loved the concept. How fun to get a wire or two and then all those pretty charms to mix and match.

Since the store was having a free bracelet event starting the next day, I decided to head back and buy some earrings. I ended up getting two wires and five charms.

I got the large beaded wire

and the small flower wire

I wore these to work on Friday

Here are all the other charms

Since I didn't buy any beads, instead of a free bracelet, the owner let me have the flower bracelet opener I wanted to buy for free!

 

[rubyjuls]

Okay, almost done!

Well, I was kind of hemming and hawing over the event and the fact that I would really like a new bracelet. I have a lobster claw one, but I want a bead one for my second bracelet since I think the beads look prettier on it (and now with my handy dandy opener the bead clasp and I are back on speaking terms). With this in mind and since I was kind of sort of in the area, I paid one last visit to my new favorite jewelry store to take advantage of the free bracelet offer before the event ended today.

Here are the three new beads I bought.

I was excited to find the pink cz one since it's retired now, one can never have too many bag charms, and I am so happy to have a grape charm! This was the last purple one they had and I have been wanting this ever since I first heard about them months ago. I was able to pay $15 to upgrade my free bracelet to a bead clasp one. It's out of stock, so they are ordering one for me. I also am having them order me a Pandora Travel Jewelry case to store all of my Pandora jewelry.

Here's what my second bracelet currently looks like:

As I was about to walk out of the store, the owner mentioned I should really consider getting one of the leather necklaces eventually since they're so versatile and fun. He showed me one they had made up and let me try it on and I was sold. I knew almost right away the beads I wanted for it.

Here's my new necklace!

This will do it for awhile now for me. I have a flower cz pandora ring on order and the jewelry box. Other than that, I shall be good until the fall beads start rolling in (I got a Fall catalog while I was there today and all the new beads look really pretty!).

Wow Rosemary, you have been very busy over the last few days - I love all your creations and I especially love the earrings. I might have to look into those ones - I love the pearl ones you have.

I'm also happy to get these bracelets for anyone that want's one. I know I'll be buying one just so that I can help the cause as well as it looking gorgeous on my wrist!

 

[rubyjuls]

Nelly, thanks. I know I kind of have gone overboard with Pandora and Trollbeads (my newest addiction) this month, but I figure I need something to help me get through September. I'm a teacher and I have 37 this year.

You should definitely check out the earrings! They are so much fun! They had pearls in so many pretty colors. I went with mainly pink charms for now since I'm a pink girl, but am sure I'll get pearls in other colors eventually as well.

Have not posted enough to have private message yet, but would you consider getting one for me. Do you know how much they are going to be. I just love this bracelet and charm!!

Here are some of my braclets. The first one has a mixture of Pandora and some "fake" beads. The other ones are Pandora and Chamilia.
