I rearrange my bracelets a couple times a week. After several months of buying Pandora and off-names, I find I prefer Pandora for metal, and knockoffs for muranos.

On the experimentation side, I just got a silver & gold dragonfly bead from European bling that I'm gonna try to oxidize with the egg yolk thing. Hope it turns out, as I love the oxidized w/gold & silver look, and Pandora just doesn't have as many choices as I'd like.

Lillia! I had the same thing...beads I wish I hadn't purchased! My method of reducing: a fewfriends had just gotten Pandora bracelets for Valentine's Day, so I gave them first crack before I listed them on ebay. I didn't even have any to list after I told my girlfriends about them! I reduced the price a bit and everyone got something that was on their wishlist. With my money, I bought a gold bead that I had been lusting after.

My final (for now) bracelet tally:
1. Green glass, stones, and silver
2. Black glass, red CZ, and silver
3. Two-tone, no glass (My fave!!!)
4. Neutral bracelet in progress...has the golden yellow glass and is missing the wood beads. I still need to pick them out with my mom!

I've been enjoying this thread and have recently started my own trollbead bracelet (only 3 beads total so far!)....Would it be ok for me to ask if someone could pm me with their fave etsy sellers/SRAs for glass/murano beads? Thank you!

Happy holidays everyone! I've been receiving coupons from my favorite boutique that sells Chamilia, Biagi and Trollbeads. I purchased 3 of the Chamilia Christmas beads at 10.00 off each bead. I started with rudolf, green enamel ornament and the kris kringle bead. I'm hoping to get the gingerbreadman and snowflake as gifts. Here's a picture:

take care,

I was just on Denmark-Beads.com and they said the core of the muranos are changing they will not be shiny inside anymore they will be oxidized. Weird huh? Why do you think they decided to do that?
Nisetixtenshi,
I love you leather bracelet. I have 2 double strands I don't wear them with beads I like them alone with my regular Pandora bracelets the rolling drives me nuts. I love the rolling on my single leather but not on the double weird, right LOL. :)

Hey everyone, I can't believe I only found this thread now!
So here is my Pandora, It's about 4 charms away from being complete.
I got it over the summer in Portugal and was lucky enough to fill it up to the point that it is now in three days. It's such an addiction:blushing:
Sorry about the lack of quality pictures but hope you all like it.
The four charms I still need to get are the Queen Bee, the Sea Shell, the Suitcase, and the silver and gold Alpha K... I was thinking about getting a Murano too:smile1:
- Kelly.

Shinylizard, Can you let us know how that turn out? A lot of people asked for oxidized 2-tone beads also. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I have a few beads that I wouldn't mind adding some oxidation to. I googled the subject and clicked on some jewelry sites. It would appear that the easiest thing to do is boil an egg, peel it while it's warm, break it into small pieces, put in a baggie, put your bead in and seal up the bag. Then after 15 minutes or so, they recommend you move the bead around in the bag. Apparently a warm egg works best and if the egg cools, just reheat it in the microwave. I havent' done this, but it sure sounds easy. Here's a link:

Hi everyone! :flowers:
I'm new to the Pandora forum but have been reading through the entire thread for the past few days... so much useful information and inspiration!
I started my bracelet while visiting New York a couple weeks ago...got myself addicted... and now i'm back in the UK having to pay the GBP! So unfair! :pout:
So I have found a 25% discount code for "unforgettablemoments", which i thought would be helpful for the UK Pandora fans like myself. Just enter STORYWHEELS at checkout. It's for orders over £100.
I know the store has been discussed on here before and was confirmed to be legit.
Hope i'm allowed to post this here... and it will be of some use.
