the PANDORA bracelet thread

[morgan20]

I just have to say the ladies on here are so helpful and very good enablers as well! Lol.

Could someone tell me if the single leather bracelets are sturdy.....I am contemplating whether to make this my next purchase. I don't intend to have more than two charms on it.
TIA

Oh wow, there's an elf charm? I might have missed that looking through some pictures.
My 3 nieces will receive 1 initial charm and 1 christmas charm each. How much is the elf charm? I have the snowman . Now that I think about it, the three of them should have an all silver charms, don't want the other girl being envy because the other one got a gemstone they like, or some sort.

It looks sturdy enough yet i dont use mine often. And i gues 2 charms wont bear down on it. Just dont get it wet so the leather wont stretch

Hi, hope to get some expert opinion, I bought my bracelet a week ago. It's 17cm upon the recommendation of the SA. Do you think it's too small, currently only the centre section is filled. It's just nice now but I'm worried that if I start filling it up it will be too tight.

I love your other silver bracelet! What bran is it if you dont mind me asking?

I can't really tell from the pic, but it certainly doesn't look too big...it does look a little tight already and more beads will only make it worse. The bracelets do stretch just a little bit with wear, but from my experience, not a whole lot.......don't know what else to say other than go back to the store where you got it and talk to them about it.

Thanks, I'll go back to the store and try their display bracelets.

It looks like it's a tight fit. With just the center filled. You may also want to add some Muranos down the way and that tends to take more space. Maybe move up to 18cm. While still possible. I have an 18 and 19cm and I can fill them both with 5 muranos and charms.

I'll go back to the store to see whether they allow exchanges. Thanks !!

Hello everyone!

Found this thread by accident, searching for Pandora charms images in yahoo search engine. I then immediately registered to this forum . I really, really, wanted a Pandora bracelet since I set foot in US of A, and somehow last week they had the promotion of getting a free SS clasp bracelet with purchase of $100. Didn't think twice, decided to take this opportunity to buy Christmas presents for my nieces and myself very, very, VERY EARLY.

Went to an actual Pandora store, and, a very helpful lady helped me out how to snag 4 free bracelets. Did them in separate transactions, so I wouldn't have to go through other Pandora stores .

What I'm trying to do is, to have 1 Christmas charm, and, 1 initial on 3 of the bracelets.

Free bracelet #1 SS
$30 Snowman
$25 Aloha
$50 Sleigh

Free bracelet #2 OSS
$60 "M" x2
$30 "J" x1
$35 Present

Free bracelet #3 OSS
$75 ring upon ring (I'll never bring my sister again with me ush: )
$30 S clip

Free bracelet #4 OSS
$65 Birdie
$35 Elephant

Now, my concerns and questions:

I'm worried about the stone in sleigh charm... does the stones in pandora charms come off easily? These precious gifts..., are going to be given to pre-teens (hopefully they don't abuse the bracelets and charms ) If they do will eventually fall off, maybe it's a good idea to exchange it for another christmas charm with no stone? Pandora seems to have limited charms for Christmas.

For the Oxidized Silver Sterling clasp bracelets, I only got them because they ran out of the SS ones, but then, I thought, the kids might like the vintage look . Then again, they will soon have raging hormones that might affect the OSS. Might as well exchange it for the SS bracelets instead? I still have 3 weeks for exchange


I do have one problem, I don't know the exact cm sizes of their wrists... I don't know how to get it without them knowing that someone will give them a bracelet or a watch...

P.S. Loving tPF! So glad I found this
I'm a newbie, please be nice

Welcome to the forum!!!! WE love newbies! No need to be shy or concerned over any questions you have. We all learn new stuff from each other all the time. It is hard to guess the correct sizes, hope they will exchange for you if needed, or if you can measure their wrists now and exchange... your idea for the all silvers so no one is jealous is perfect solution. The elf charm is also considered a garden gnome or a leprechan (which I use it as on a non-xmas themed bracelet). It's very, very cute!!!!

Both of my nearby stored have the new Spring goodies. Having some shopping fun tomorrow.

Oh my! Do share pictures when you come back!!

 

[chokmp]

Thanks JewlryLuver! I would never have thought to buy it for myself, and now that I have it I love it!



What a shame they didn't have new goodies in for you At least you saved some $$ though for clothes!



It looks fantastic so far! ....I agree with bittenbythebag though, it looks a little like you'll have trouble filling it up. Is it hard to do up at all?



Yay! Can't wait to see what you get!

Thank you, i love it and it is so additive. It's quite loose now and my SA said it will stretch a little.

We are good at it (enabling)!!!!! a few charms should not be a problem at all!

So I keep revising my wish list over and over and over... and little by litte MORE things creep in instead of LESS things!!!! So not fair!!!!!! I swear there's a chemical in each of these charms and bracelets that gets into your blood stream and makes you more and more addicted!!!!

Haha! Thats a funny thought! Must be laced with something right and keeps us wanting for more and more! Funny thought yet feels so true!

For me, i use gold spacers to inject gold accents on my arrangments to break up the all silver look and just make it more exciting. And sometimes its kind of nice to put an in-between when 2 charms that has to be beside each other doesnt look well together but with the help of the charm it kinds of eases the connection. I think i made it more confusing?!
