It for sure won't stop me from buying beads...I love my bracelets so much. I did buy a few that were on my wishlist before the increase so I should be good for a while
Pat, I have to say again, your website is one of the best I've seen for Pandora. I just wish it was easier to ship to Canada
Thanks for the nice compliment. The mail system to Canada can be a bit complicated at times. Shipping to there can be done ... it just takes longer.
A few of the most popular beads during Mother's Day .... Queen Bee, Lotsa Love, I Love You, boys & girls, shell with starfish, puffy heart, new Tivoli bead, new bead with gold shamrocks, new black onyx dangle, new happy fish ... those are a few that have really been doing well.

Pandora is releasing a few new dangles in gold.
The spotted glass beads are so colorful especially the pink and red! All the colors look great - the pink is very pretty - terrific choice!
Pat
I have four bracelets - one in all silver, one with black murano with both silver & gold beads, another one with two tone beads with white glass and a gold bracelet that I want to re-do. All have safety chains - I am a strong believer in safety chains. It is the best investment for $30.
Would love to see pictures of bracelets!

Hey Pat i wanted to ask cause im sort of confused about the safety chain,,, i dont quite see why its needed
i got my bracelet but had to send back just the bracelet to exchange it for a smaller size, as it was just a bit too big
but i did try it on and mess with it and i see the way the Bead closure closes, and its AWFULLY secure,,, i mean to get it open i had to dig my nail in the little slit and really pull! and i know the chain is there to keep it on you if it comes unclasped,,,but i dont see how in the WORLD it could become unclasped without someone like ripping it off your wrist!
just hoping you can tell me how that would happen that would make the safety chain necessary cause it seemed very hard to open not something that would slip,,, thanks!
The bead clasp is secure when the bracelet is new. Over time from taking your bracelet on and off, it sometimes loosen. If your nail digs into the indentation where the clasp opens, it can often times bend the little metal piece inside causing the clasp to loosen. If you hear a nice snap when fastening your bracelet, that's good. If you don't, it could be your clasp has gotten loose over time.
Safety chains provide the extra insurance, just in case your clasp opens. I wear two bracelets at a time both with safety chains and the chains really don't bother me. Sometimes it does get caught on the beads, but it knowing the bracelet is secure, makes it all worth while.
I've had several customers lose their Pandora bracelets because the clasp came undone. When replacing their bracelets, the first beads they bought were safety beads.
Of course, with a lobster clasp, it isn't much of an issue since it can't open by itself.

Remember that when you add beads to your bracelet, it will feel smaller.
Yes, the clasp is very secure when the bracelet is new but as I wrote in the previous post, it can loosen over time. If you don't like safety chains, just be sure that it closes securely with a good "snap".
Pat
hey thanks for the reply, i guess i will see if it ever doesnt make that great snap sound a safety chain will be ordered right away
And i figured it would feel smaller with beads, but i got 7.9 and it was like hanging down , it was way too big so hopefully 7.5 will work out,,,

I don't particularly like the safety chain. I think the clasp is secure enough that you don't need one. I've had my bracelets for about 3 years now and have not had a problem with the clasp and I wear them everyday. Besides I hate the fact that you have to take all your beads off just to put the safety chain on. Plus if you're not careful, the safety chain can screw off the bracelet which defeats the whole purpose of it in the first place. The only way you can prevent that from happening is by putting a clip after the safety chain. But that makes the bracelet look goofy.
Just come across this old thread from 2007! Its making me wonder what the price of Pandora beads was then!
I just wanted to let you ladies know that on May 14th there is going to be a price increase of 13% on all Pandora jewelry.
Call me nuts and I have commented on this on a prior post but this increase thing is I believe more greed then price of the item to make the product. Gold maybe, as it is trading at 1369.00 still down from a high but silver has dropped trading at 28.70 I would love to know what one charm weighs and then calculate the actual price of the product. I'm sure they are making a profit but what will happen is instead of selling a few charms to people at a time more often they will be selling one with a profit decrease over time so greed will be the overall factor. Supply and demand and since Pandora has really taken off they are using this to their advantage. But for many cost becomes a factor and they will seek out other lines that will provide the same fun as Pandora use to causing one of two things to happen. Pandora will start having sales or they will lose business.
I know - they have got so many people hooked now and they're taking advantage of us, and like the suckers we are we are going along with it and still buying!
Will we ever learn ... ?
