the PANDORA bracelet thread

I can see them.....they look nice!

Thank you=)

I can see them too. I like the pave! Really glamorous!

Thanks, I think I need to step away from the sparkliness for the rest of the bracelet though. Lol

I can't ! Bummer! It wants a user ID and password!

I am sorry about that, it's the only way I could figure out to upload pics on here.

Looks great, I love the new pave heart! It's the last charm I'm waiting on to finish my pink and white bracelet, can't wait until it's out here.

It's soooo beautiful in person, especially the little heart in the center.

I have a question about pandora bracelets. I dont know which one to keep.
I have a 21cm bracelet and is a little tight. Cant fit all the charms.
I have a 23cm bracelet and is too loose. I can fit all the charms i have.


Is it me or Pandora is not for me? T____T
It looks so weird on me with 23cm bracelet.








Sorry for the large pictures

Hmm, this is a difficult one because Pandora don't sell a 22cm which would be your right size by the looks of it. The 21cm you said is a bit tight so filing it up is not an option. You will there have to wear the 21cm with normal charms as oppose to muranos, or to just put a couple of muranos and a couple of normal charms on. This way it will not be too tight. You could put all your muranos onto the 23cm and add more muranos on and this will bulk it out and make it less big. These are your only two options really.

Hello! I'm pretty new to Pandora. Got my bracelet on Mothers Day and have been researching ever since! I have learned a lot from this forum! I would really like the Octopus charm for a ocean themed bracelet I want to start as well. I see some on eBay and they look authentic with the markings, but I am very hesitant to buy from there. Has anyone purchased from the user bart1508 on eBay? It looks like he sells lots of charms...where does he keep getting them, especially the retired ones? Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks a lot!!

Be careful of ebay because there are a lot of sellers that sell really good fake charms. There are some genuine ones of course. I would suggest you go by the feedback of the seller.

This is my new bracelet, I got 7.1 based on the thumb rule. Do you guys think I should go up to a 7.5? I am worried that if it stretches 7.5 will be too big and it will bug me.

I really don't know how peoples bracelet stretch. I think it must be that they are putting too many charms onto one section and they are bunching up, thus pushing the bracelet section and stretching it. I have worn Pandora for 8 years now and non of my bracelets have ever stretched a single mm. The bracelet itself does loosen up and go floppy, and this takes time because then you first buy them, they are rigid and nip the hairs on your arm.

Generally to get the correct size, you should measure your wrist and add 3 cms. For example, if your wrist is 16cm, then you should go for the 19cm bracelet - perfect! This size is perfect for a bracelet full of charms or a bracelet with a combination of both muranos and charms, without being too tight.

It has some space but it's pretty stiff it fits like an oval right now. I need to add some clips asap. I guess worst case scenario would be if it doesn't stretch enough I can eventually give it to my 15 yr old and just get a new one for my charms.

I can pretty much guarantee to you that your bracelet won't stretch. It will just loosen up.

More Pictures with 23cm.

Too be honest this bracelet looks really big for you.

 

[Tabitha14]

You gave me a good idea before. connecting 21cm and 23cm together and make it a longer bracelet. That was a good idea with more work and organizing to do.
What I have to do now is return the 23cm bracelet and get another 21cm.
I combined 21cm and 23cm together, a little loose. it can slip off my hands.

I don't understand why you would connect the 21cm and 23cm unless you plan to make it into a choker/necklace? Is this your plan until you get the charms/muranos you need?

I finally managed to get photos of mine online!!

My friend bought me the bracelet and the now retired friendship bead (the odd shaped one) when Pandora first came to australia. All the other beads except the gold tipped crystal O shaped one I bought for myself. My partner bought me that one . I like my bead with the fish skeletons on it with green eyes (last photo, can't really see it properly) and go for a sort of fishy/ripple/leaf design on most of the beads I pick.

Your bracelet is really pretty - what's next on your list? I have filled all my bracelets and I miss buying charms. I could buy another bracelet but I really do have enough.

It's so you can wrap it around your wrist twice. Like the leather ones.

Ya the feedback is pretty vague. And I did send him a message asking more, but he hasn't responded. So I think I'm just gonna skip out on that! I don't want to risk it.

Does anyone know anything about Perlen and if in fact they are going to stop carrying Pandora and when? I read something from last Fall I think and they still are selling, so I'm just curious! Can't believe the prices on some of those charms!

I have the same thing! I have build my 5 bracelets in a rapid pace of 6 months and I bought the fish from the new collection today and cancelled my backorder for the looking glass murano. I really have to stop now. My bracelets are how I want them to be although you can always make them more beautifull. I have two tone, pink, purple, leather and one only silver. What more could I wish for?
I also think it's not easy buying new charms now, because they don't always have the charms I want, where before I had so much choice!

I don't think they stretch as much as they loosen so they fit better. But I don't really know. You could wait until they have the free bracelet promo in September I think it is

Ah, but they DO stretch a little bit......I've got proof of that.....started with a 19cm bracelet and it is now a full 20cm!

A lot of us from here buy from Perlen all the time. They are really good prices.

Due to it having a barrel clasp, it may get in the way if it was wrapped round the wrist I guess.

I think it must be just different peoples bracelets because mine haven't stretched at all and neither has my friend's. I really do think that if there isn't enough space between each charm and they are bunched up, this forces stretching.
