I purchased two pandora murano beads from two different sellers on ebay. They both claim they are authentic but one is bigger. What is the correct size for an authentic pandora murano bead?

The murano beads are handmade therefore are not going to be the exact same size. I too purchased a few muranos and one was visably larger and had to send it back to exchange it. I think this has been discussed on this thread or the old thread that it is probably best to purchase murano beads in person so you can match them all up together.
 
I would not worry on authenticity based on size. Pandora muranos are hand made, one at a time, and as a result, there is flutuation on size from one bead to another. There is also flutuation in color as the batch of glass will often vary slightly as well. If you are looking to match muranos on a bracelet, it is best to buy them in person so you can compare.

I hope this helps!
 
OK I need some advice...
Has anybody bought from the seller kellytreasure?
I bid one some Pandora stuff from her earlier today, but didn't win. She sent me a second chance offer saying that she had other things to contact her and she'd do 50% off retail. I told her what all I was interested in and she's sent me a PayPal invoice. I asked her to do a BIN on eBay as I want to use all of my eBay Bucks and Bing cashback. She said she didn't want to do BIN because of the eBay fees. Does this sound fishy??
I was thinking of just saying to add on another $5 to cover the eBay fees. I feel like I'm more protected with eBay instead of just PayPal in case she's scamming me. She also says that BIN is only for ebay stores which I know its right because I don't have a store and do BIN listings all the time.
HUMMM... not sure what to do! Help!

OK here's an update. I went against my gut feeling and ordered four pairs of earrings from this seller (she set up a BIN auction for me). I got them in the mail yesterday. They're all exactly what I expected. Two of the pairs were just different colors of earrings that I already had (and purchased from Pandora store) so I can confirm that they're real. So if anyone wants to find mix and match earrings on eBay this is a good seller. I just did e-mails back forth telling her what I wanted and finding out what she had. I think she must be a retailer that maybe used to sell Pandora but doesn't anymore because everything came in Pandora boxes and she's got tons of stuff in stock. All in all I ended up with a great deal: 50% off retail + used BING cashback + eBay bucks too = just over $50 for 4 pairs of mix & match :yahoo:

Here's a link: http://shop.ebay.com/kellytreasure/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25

You might try messaging her and seeing if she'll set up a BIN if there are things your interested in instead of bidding on those auctions. I bought things that she had never listed on ebay so just ask her for certain item numbers. I'm not sure if she ships outside of the US though, I see you're in Canada (that could be why you couldn't find her page).

I just bought my first Pandora bracelet. All my others have been trollbeads which I've filled with a mix of Trollbeads, Chamilia and Pandora beads. I've been wanting a leather bracelet and so I got the double, black leather Pandora and I like it. I was advised to only put 5-6 beads on it as the leather is likely to stretch. I actually like this bracelet and think I'll use it to arrange 5-6 beads on it. Like right now, I have my 5 halloween themed beads. My question to you all is does anyone use stoppers (which function as clips) on their double braclets or not. While I like how the beads "float" on the leather, I'm wondering if I'd like a way to secure some beads staying on the first loop and some on the second (if that makes sense). I'm curious to what other people have done. Thanks!
 
Does anyone wear their Pandora bracelet on it's own without any beads or with just one or two beads on it?.

Today I am wearing my bracelet with just the gold puffy heart with ruby bead, and it looks quite pretty just like that. :D

Actually my daughter does. She is a minimalist and only has 2 beads on her bracelet. Her brother bought her the bracelet and an initial bead. I bought her the giraffe. I would LOVE to buy her more but she doesn't want more. Oh well. I have 2 bracelets that are filled and have been thinking of buying another one. I don't wear necklaces or I might buy one of those. I must be crazy:yahoo:
 
I wear a bracelet with only three beads and clips and I layer it with my two-tone bracelet. Sometimes, I wear it all by itself. I also like the look of the shiny bracelet with only a few beads.

My mom wears an empty bracelet layered with some other simple bracelets on her non-Pandora wrist everyday.
 
I would quite like to just have a bracelet with a silver/gold C bead for me, the gold puffy heart with ruby, and a silver/gold J bead for my husband on it.

I don't find the bulkiness of a full bracelet very comfortable, and it is not practical for work. I am a minimalist when it comes to jewelry. I wear my wedding ring, engagement ring, and small diamond stud earrings, and that's it.
 
Is there anybody out there from sunny Florida?
Will be visiting in November (Orlando) and was wondering where the Pandora stores were!!! Will be staying near International Drive so would appreciate the low down pretty please!!!!!!!!!!!:yahoo:

Has anyone answered this? I know there is a Pandora store in the FL Mall. It's sort across from Bath and Body Works, just down from Dillards, on the corner.
