the PANDORA bracelet thread

[JewelryLuver]

Would be a shame to lose such a good deal on a murano if it's real.....on the other hand, with all of the other things going on in your life, returning it might be the easiest thing for you to do. Good luck!!!

Thanks! Yeah, price was great and it is a pretty bead. Don't have my bracelet on today so have to wait till I get home from work to see how it looks with it.

VERY WELL SAID!!!! Pandora can be VERY addicting if we are not careful. Glad to know that you caught yourself in time, Coconkally!!!!

I agree!!

lol i felt abit out of sorts saying it on here but i think its something alot of women go through as far as pandora goes.
i am very lucky i could sort myself out and still be able to carry on collecting pandora with my partners blessing no debt is a great feeling it really is when it comes to buying and you know you are able to pay out of available funds is just great.

I totally agree! But that honesty was probably what a lot of people need


I'm just thankful I don't like gold :') hehe!!

Tbh, I'm doubtful of my two muranos I bought on ebay, but I think they look nice and until I get some blue I'm keeping them on and will then give them to my 11 year old sister for ye bracelet I gave her lol so don't worry too much

Very stressful time for you and getting Pandora should make it better - not worse!

Our house is for sale right now - we are downsizeing to a condo, I have to keep on top of everything - everything clean and tidy because we never know when an agent will want to show it. We recarpeted a room last week (we called it the cat room - thats where the litter boxes were) we pulled up the old gross carpet (10 years there) and put new stuff down. I like hardwood the best but didn;t want to spend a lot on a house we are selling.

anyway... skittles - taste the rainbow

I know how stressful selling a house can be. When we bought our current house, we still had to sell our old house. But at least we had already moved out of it, so didn't have to worry about that day to day keeping it clean hassle. We lucked out and sold the old house shortly after we moved. But moving to a condo should be really nice for you. Have you picked it out yet or will you wait till you sell your house?

I can relate to those "cat rooms" LOL. We have another room we're going to replace the carpet in. What's in there now is pretty bad (too many horked up furballs!).

OMG, thos muranos are gorgeous!!!!!!!

 

[coconkally]

I agree!!

lol that honesty has landed me right in it before now, i cant help it i have always been a tell it as it is person and some people love me for it and others hate it (mainly my daughters lol.)
oh well life goes on lmao.
anyway i am very glad you are on top of everything, i think i feel the need to share my story i guess i dont ever want to see any of you lovely girls in that situation.

I agree with everyone who says that Pandora can be addicting. One SA even described it to me as "dangerous," haha! I just started collecting. My original plan was to start with one bracelet and one charm, then buy one or two charms monthly. A week and a half later I have one bracelet and five charms, with intent to buy another bracelet and two charms in the next week. I can't help it, the charms are just so pretty and sparkly. :shame:

My newest two charms represent my daughters. At first I was going to buy charms for their initials or birthstones, but I decided to get something that represented my family's first overseas vacation. We recently spent three weeks in the Philippine Islands. My oldest daughter collected shells from every beach we went to, so I got the silver/gold seashell to represent her. My youngest daughter loves flowers, and she would pick tropical flowers and give them to me, so the silver/gold flower represents her.

You are such a lovely person! Sharing always helps, and it helps to unload sometimes as well! I'm the same, tell it as it is, can be quite harsh sometimes but a lot of the time I'm joking!

The charms I bought today kinda mean something, well most of them do... I bought a little house ( the silver one ) which is significant as I'm moving into a flat on my own in July... Well I say on my own... It probably will be with my bf, all I know is that I've paid the deposit ( a bloody fortune ) and whether we move in together or not depends on if we settle down a bit with both our 'liveliness' I say liveliness because we argue but we both love each other so it's whether we stop arguing, so yeah that symbols that, then I got a cat, for my cats I've had previously whom have passed away recently, and a queen bee because I'm an important person in my life so I'm the queen bee hehe!! And the cake because... Well everyone loves cake!!! And it's just theeeee best charm ever I think it looks gorgeous and the BF told me I could get it yeyyy!!!

That is a lovely bracelet and such lovely meanings!! I agree with the sparkly and pretty sentence, giggles! They are so hard to resist!

I had an African grey!!!! They are amazing aren't they!! And I had a hamster named coco... Maybe we were sisters in a past life hahaha!!
I think it's just mapped out for the foreseeable future... When I finish uni I have no idea what will happen, but I have quite a stable job at pizza hut ( I know you are all probably thinking pizza hut? Stable? But I've been there 4 and a half years and know it so well and know they ain't likely to sack me hehe and I work at several restaurants depending where I live ) anyway just enjoying the moment!
It's nice to know about you!! I'm nearly 22, and I have an 11 year old sister and 10 year old brother, their mum died when I was 15, really sad, so I looked after them, but my dad is just brilliant! ( best father in the world ) and looked after us all so I kinda know how it is having people who are a younger that you take care of! I gave my lil sis a bracelet, just my old one because she's not old enough to be in to that yet but she will definitely be getting more off me, ivepromised a charm a birthday, so by the time she is my age she will have a nice start to a bracelet she's an angel! I love her so much!

Thank goodness for multiquotes!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!! I see five new black mystics! Congratulations..... I love mine!!!!

Yay, now I am completely done shopping for Pandora. I think.

VERY WELL SAID!!!! Pandora can be VERY addicting if we are not careful.

You're looking at me, aren't you. lol

lol i felt abit out of sorts saying it on here but i think its something alot of women go through as far as pandora goes.

I am impressed by the women who have a practically empty bracelet,collecting slowly, waiting for birthdays,mother's day etc... just a handful of charms. and they are happy and enjoying their bracelet!

I think I am obsessive compulsive - must.see.the.bracelet.full!! - and have options, to me it's like having a christmas tree with just one decoration - I need to get more and fill the tree.

Wonder why she resold it on ebay. Probably didn't like it I guess, or for the doubting thomas in me, maybe she knows it's not real and didn't want it? Gotta stop over analyzing this.

I wonder if she had a fake, and then bought a real one off eBay - kept it and tried to resell the fake as the one she just bought?

Sending them back is the best thing to do, another opportunity will come up to get the charms you love

I'm just thankful I don't like gold :') hehe!!

I love how silver looks on others, but I don't like it on me. I wish I did, and my husband REALLY wishes I did. I don't even like white gold on me because it looks silver.

I know how stressful selling a house can be. When we bought our current house, we still had to sell our old house. But at least we had already moved out of it, so didn't have to worry about that day to day keeping it clean hassle. We lucked out and sold the old house shortly after we moved.

OMG, thos muranos are gorgeous!!!!!!!

We have the condo - we can move in after June 1. The house is not sold yet, it's a thorn in my side right now - I just want it sold. I don't want to be carrying the condo and the house together for months.

We are going from 2200 sq ++ to 1200 sq feet, so I really have to cut down, I have living room furniture and family room furniture and 2 dining room sets etc etc.. 3 bedroom suites and we are going to a 2 bedroom + solarium. it will be a big change, but there are positives too, no stairs, no gardening, just throwing the garbage down the chute, no carpets - it's all hardwood, will be a lot easier to keep clean. plus they have a really nice swimming pool indoor and out and treadmills etc.. looking forward to it.

My newest two charms represent my daughters. At first I was going to buy charms for their initials or birthstones, but I decided to get something that represented my family's first overseas vacation.

aww, that's sweet that is the one thing that my bracelet lacks - no memories attached to it other than my big win in Vegas when I bought the starter pieces.

I guess I do have painful memories about the lost clip and the evil lariat that held up my christmas wreath 2 years in a row on my front door.

Ilove your purple leather and the 2 starfish, they are adorable.

I'm moving into a flat on my own in July... Well I say on my own... It probably will be with my bf, all I know is that I've paid the deposit ( a bloody fortune ) and whether we move in together or not depends on if we settle down a bit with both our 'liveliness'

Congrats on your own apartment! and all the best with your pandora tolerating bf

 

[melanie789611]

Thanks Casss love!!! I already live in a flat with another girl, but it's gna be better when it's just me n DBF! And I always thought white gold looked silver too but I really like silver and think it looks nicer on me, I love white gold too for that quality I do love the bits with a little bit of gold in though and the full gold bracelets look wonderful, have you got a pic with you wearing one?xx

The condo sounds really nice!!! Just think, less space to clean, and the indoor/outdoor pool sounds great! We have a pool outdoors, but because of the weather here, we can only use it for the summer months. I would love to have one indoors to use all year long. Plus, you don't have to do the pool upkeep.

Well....couldn't wait to know whether or not the charm was real, so on the way home I stopped at a jewelry store that also sells Pandora. I brought the charm in with me to compare it. But first I asked to see the charm, and OMG, the one I got off Ebay is so obviously a fake I didn't even show them the charm because I was too embarrassed. So I will definitely be sending it and the other one back to the seller. Ebay is tough. Even when a person has 100% good feedback, their charms can still be fakes. I'm thinking maybe just to buy these at Perlen.

How do you double quote? I've never been able to figure it out. When I click on multiquote, nothing happens.

Sad times about the charms, it's terrible the amount of fakes!

Anyone else dying for Mother's Day, hoping for a new charm or anything Pandora?
