Also, I think the medal should have gold, silver and bronze (or similar) on it. Oh well. They should invite more people to help design the charms!

So they are bringing out a charm for the Queen's diamond jubilee? If they do, will it be the same as the gold crown, only in silver and with cz instead of diamonds? I know they are trying to please the masses, but don't you think it's a bit insulting to the Queen?![]()
yep see stop being paranoid lmao.
the only thing that shocked me there was the june 2011 i didnt think they had been doing it that long.
enjoy your charm and yes i can imagine you would feel naked without wearing any jewellery i put mine on every morning.![]()
Thanks! So glad you got yours. I'm sure it'll be fine. Sounds like it's real.
Love the bus, the murano is growing on me. Perlen are getting the Brit charms June 1st.
Yes, apparently it's just like the gold one. Insulting? I don't think so, the gold crown is one of the most expensive & most wanted.I think it's nice they can bring out a silver one so more people can afford it. It's a very fitting charm.Can't really think what else they could of come up with tbh?
Hi everyone *waves*
It's been awhile since I've posted, but am always lurking to see what's going on. Lots of newer 2012 posters *hi* and a big shout out to SG, NA, NS, Pan15 and everyone else.
My thoughts on the crown: I agree with SG that it's a bit of an insult to produce a commemorative charm using cz's rather than diamonds, however, I also agree with Aprilshack that it makes sense to produce a mass market piece that is accessible and will likely sell like crazy! I want one- of course I do! haha
I can't go back three months and multi-quote, but here are a few comments on bracelets (of the posters I "know" - cannot remember everyone else's name - sorry!!) - but there have been some lovely new creations this year from everyone
SydneyGirl: Hello hello - love all your recent stuff, and when on earth did you get a goldie?? How did I miss that one? WOWZA..... I relate to your new siggie too, lol
NA333- You're not around too much anymore - I miss your postings! I've been waiting to see how long you were able to stick to your ban.... I can only imagine how long it takes to shine up your massive collection - I love it all - and I still envy your retired collection and adore all your bracelets!! Talk soon I hope
NorthShore: WOW on your newest green creation........loved the reveal from Perlen and where the heck did you get those retireds that I covet, in particular the cathedral ceiling and the triangular blossom with cz? They look fabulous on your newest and I want them!!
Pan15: I miss you too!! You're selling your newest purple and finishing up some 2 tones......I feel out of the loop when I don't know what's going on...hahahaha...
Anyhow, I've redone my initial pink bracelet, almost finished a 4th which is black/silver (inspired by the black/white swirl on NA's bracelet - but I only got 1 of them), I have most of my 2 tones on a pipe cleaner (thanks to Pan15 for that idea), and I still have my white one intact.
Also purchased my first ring (mother's day gift from daughter even though I picked it out and paid for it - lol) and.........I just picked up the multi-station bracelet (birthday pressie for me from me - haha). I have a lot of new clips this year but I actually like that bracelet with just one on it....
Yes, I've been a busy girl this year too.....and I finally placed my first order with Perlen.......thanks so much for that info everyone.....they've shipped it and I am waiting eagerly for my 6 new pieces
Here's a pic of my first bracelet in the original configuration. I have since removed all the 2 tones (pipecleaner time) and redid it - picture to follow when I get the Perlen order.
