Hi Pandorama,

Are you going to use them alone or snap your Pandora clip over it? :smile1:

***Noelle***
Is this what you used under your Pandora clips? Does the clip seem like it will BURST off? I have read on this blog of too many lost clips.....let me know your thoughts. :smile1:

I lost a clip, and now I'm just more careful. I personally like the look of clips, I think it's just personal taste. I think the reason my clip was lost is because I had been told that it wouldn't matter if the beads were really tight... they couldn't move, and that was the problem.

Aussie ladies has anyone dealt with Gilletts? They're currently offering a free charm with $100 purchase but i'm wary of buying charms on the net!

Bought from them lots of times. Very good service. I've only ever gotten pandora boxes for the matching jewellery line, and mix and match earrings. I normally get the charms in Gilletts boxes.
I've also taken advantage of the free charm offer three times (I got family members to create accounts). :)

Hi there, UD$$,
I'm planning to use them alone with my black bracelet if it doesn't distract. Otherwise I might put them under a clip, like *Noelle* suggested.
I hadn't thought that they might likely burst open with the stoppers under them. Another potential problem to deal with! :graucho:

Naima,
Yes ChocolateAlful is right- Gilletts are trustworthy. I've ordered from them MANY times. They wrap the beads beautifully if you are buying a gift.
It's really worth it if you were going to order $100 worth anyway!

Hi everyone,

I have no idea it it might burst of. Did not feel like it but you never know ofcourse. Do not look at me when it does happen!! :sad: Would not try under a gold clip for sure. Under my clips they fitted very well and no troubles so far. Clips are not as tight on this leather bracelet ofcourse as on the normal ones. But good point, I never lost a clip before but I do not want that ofcourse!

I ordered mine on this website, first time I ordered there and went smoothly. No idea if they might ship outside the Netherlands.

Have a nice day!

I am carefully narrowing down my holiday Pandora wish list. In the process, I have eliminated 2 bracelets and built a whole new one. I thought for sure that those bracelets, upon completion, would never change. Haha!

I hadn't checked this forum in a week, so I thought that I would have a bunch of pages and posts to catch up on, but no one was here! :cry:

I have been down with the flu, but to pass the time, I played with my Pandora. I took all of my beads off of two bracelets that were pretty much complete and created whole new looks! I am really excited about the new combinations because I am sure that I can wear them more freely now. They were once very color-oriented, but now they are more meutral.

Does anyone else do that? I really thought that I was totally happy with the bead combinations I had made before, but once I started to re-do them, I am more than happy with the new final products.

Just to be on the safe side, I took before and after pictures. I wanted to remember the old looks. I will try to post them soon. I always have a problem making my pictures small enough to fit.

Givemegold, I have redone my bracelets a few times. I made two, back in January of this year, based on silver beads and various Murano colours. After a few months I realized that my bracelets had no style -- they were just beads on a chain -- so I took them into a jewellers that sold Pandora and had them help me redesign them. They showed me that spacers add dimension and sructure to a bracelet, and that even small touches of gold warm up a bracelet fast. Since then I've become a lot smarter about what works and what doesn't work for me, and have made a couple more on my own.

I like my bracelets to be very symetrical. I'm not one for the random look. The ones I see in pictures and in stores are lovely, but they just don't look right, to me. So I also learned not to buy only one of anything, unless it is to be a centrepiece bead.

I now have four bracelets I love, one I kind of like and may keep, and another one that I'm working on. They are: a pink and black murano with oxidized beads with crystals on an oxydized bracelet, a butterscotch murano with two-tone metal, an all-clear crystal and silver (which is stunning), a rainbow bracelet, and an olive green and brown crystal with two tone metals. I'm now working on one that is white murano with some two tone, but predominantly gold beads and spacers. It'll be fabulous, completely neutral and go anywhere. And then I'll have one left to make, to use up a bunch of silver beads and silver bead with pink crystal/enamel. I think I'll just ramp up the crystals, pink and clear, for that one. Once that's done, I'm done for a long while. That's enough bracelets, I think! :blushing:

I wish I knew how to post pictures.

Even with all of the rearranging and buying and giving some beads away, I still have a lot of beads that I wish I hadn't bought. I guess I'll just sell them, since they're all perfect - they just don't work for me.
