I'm off today to buy a wedding gift for a friend. I'm getting her the wedding cake charm and they have the free bracelet with $100 purchase, so I guess I'm forced to buy something for myself to get to the minimum purchase, right?

AS for the SA's not knowing about new Pandora - I find that soooo frustrating, if that is all you sell (or it's a good chunk of your business) it should be your job to know what is going on. I have had several SAs just outright make stuff up about Pandora. One told me that Pandora did NOT make wooden beads and I must have them confused with another brand of beads, another said there were no heart Murano's and if there were then they would not be released in Aus as "every country has different beads" ...um, no they don't, there are a couple of Charity beads that are specific to a country, otherwise all the beads are identical.
I got the wedding cake with free bracelet for my friend and I got the brown primrose path for me. I got all excited because the big binder book they have on the counter has all the new ones, but they haven't arrived yet. I got this deal at Jared's and boy do they package everything nicely. She told me I could spend more and get two free bracelets, but I want my next one to be with the gold clasp and I couldn't afford the difference for that one today.You have to love the free bracelet. Do you know what you are going to get?
Same topic. I went to the actual Pandora store when it first opened. I wanted to have my bracelets cleaned with their machine. I have a whole bracelet with just retired beads on it and they told me they can only clean authentic Pandora beads. I had to convince them they ARE Pandora. Too funnyI recently purchased the retired mouse charm when I was out of town, from a jewelry store that sold pandora. The SA told me this one was new & they just got it in. I rolled my eyes & thought it was funny when she was trying to look it up in their book to find the price.... she pointed at the cat charm and was like "there it is". Very sad considering they had a section of retired charms and the mouse was not in it... I swear she didn't even know it was retired.
I know some of your ladies have Chamilia beads, I was wondering if the quality of them is as nice as Pandora and Troll? I was just noticing they have Disney charms and I can not get the idea of starting a Winnie the Pooh Chamilia bracelet out of my head.
Oh, I have to see if my October issue of Elle came in yet (can't remember if it did or not) and look for that ad!
I got three new charms this week. I was helping someone get a retired bead and couldn't resist picking up a few retired beads for myself as well.Will take a picture a little later.
I can't wait until I get the call that my Pandora travel jewelry box and ring are in. I'm getting antsy over here.
Hi, I have a whole bracelet done with Chamilia charms and in my opinion, the quality is comparable to Pandora. The only thing I found was that with the Chamilia Murano glass beads, while I really like the colors and patterns, I found that they were less consistent between batches and varied even more than Pandora Muranos do. I also prefer the Pandora bracelet with the sections for the clips, b/c I did not like the Chamilia locks which press on the bracelet. Other than that, I really like the Chamilia beads and they had some charms that I wanted that Pandora didn't make.
Hi Rosemary,
What ring are you getting. I love Pandora rings.![]()
