I haven't been able to spot the bead in real life either. The little store near my house which carries Pandora hasn't had it whenever I've stopped by.

I now order any Pandora from their Mall of America store (www.pandoramoa.com). They have everything, there's no shipping or sales tax, and you know it's not counterfeit since it's coming straight from Pandora. Their shipping is really fast too.

I ended up skipping the Pandora cherry blossom murano and bought several cherry blossom-like lampwork beads from this Etsy seller: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ikuyoglassart?ref=shop_name_search_sugg

Here is one of the beads I bought:

The photo makes it look far more garish than it actually is. The colors are subtle and the core is silver. It's quite a bit larger than the Pandora muranos. But quite striking on my bracelet.

Than you! Great to know! I will order from them for now on :)
 
I got a 14c gold spacer from my dad! :yahoo: A simple smooth one, but I love it!!!

And here's a pic of my fish charm, it's prettier irl. The picture doesn't capture how pretty it is...

Love that little fish!
 
Lets see if this photo thing works! Here is a pic of my very new, very first Pandora! Got the Mothers Day set and my daughters birthstone for Mother's Day and have gotten the other two since. I can't wait to add more... But this is pretty new for my hubby and he needs to get used to the addiction that has set in :)

I began this obsession by getting a bracelet for my mother for mother's day. I scoured the internet and found a great seller who had a beautiful half complete bracelet with all those lovely pave stones in silver.

Of course, I loved the look on my mother and my obsession began.

This is the result:

I have another bracelet nearing completion as well.

You folks can tell me what you think about different orders/variations etc.

Thanks for sharing my new love with me!

Hey Robin, hello and welcome here. :welcome2: Your bracelet looks lovely, so new and sparkling! I love the bear my heart charm. I want that one! :p Of course the mom charm is lovely too, it's all about family. Beautifull!

I think bleu combines well with purple! I like a little bling, so I think it's a beautifull bracelet. I got the easter egg too last week. It's so cute!
Please: do show us your other bracelet ? :angel:

Thanks for your reply and encouragement! :p
I'm very afraid I've developed a bit of an obsession for Pandora. It's like a collection fever or something. I just want to keep collecting but I'm out of cash :shame:

I'm a magpie so bling is always up my alley whether it's a little on the tacky side or not. I just love seeing some sparkle as I wave my hands around (I'm pretty renown for being a hand talker).

I'm working on accumulating another full bracelet, but I think I've run out of funds to complete it the way I want right now. Oh well, there's always next month. I do sometimes wonder if I should stop this obsession and look to other brands like David Yurman, Tiffany's etc.

Yeah right... then you'd just be TORN over what to get next like I am!! Lol I'm obsessed with Pandora and Tiffany and lust over them equally. It's quite the dilemma :)

Lovely, I love the way the birthstone complements the two-tone bear :smile1:

Nice bracelet! I love the onyx dangle. Would love to see the other one too!
 
I would like to ask everyone's opinion, and honesty would be appreciated! (If you hate the idea please say! :D)

I have completed my silver/pink/two-tone bracelet and had planned to do a gold/two-tone bracelet on the oxidised silver with gold clasp. I have decided now though that I can't keep on collecting charms endlessly and I need to put my money towards other things! I really do mean it this time too :nono:

So, I need to do one last low-as-possible cost goldish bracelet for more special occasions, as I wear my silver every day. I don't want a full bracelet, I want max 3 beads/1 bead 2 clips.

I have two ideas, the ideal would be a combination of the two, with the gold clasp oxidised bracelet with 3 gold charms, but this option is too expensive for me. In both ideas I'm planning to fix the loose charms with ribbon underneath so they stay in place. I have a feeling that might be controversial!

Idea 1:


gold clasp oxidised, two two-tone clips, central gold charm


Idea 2:


Silver clasped leather with 3 gold charms


I wish I could get a gold clasped leather because it's a shame the silver doesn't match. I also worry about how long the leather would last. On the other hand, I love the bracelet with gold clasp and the gold charm on the first bracelet but the two clips don't really go.

What do you think of the ideas? Any suggestions (within the same sort of price range!) would be appreciated. Many thanks! :smile1:

I don't like either... you should save up and do the combo you like. You will forever wish it was slightly different. You're already spending a lot of money... don't waste it on something you're partial to!! Maybe two-tone clips like the Sunburst with 14kg

Thank you for your honesty, I appreciate it!

I definitely don't want a full or even nearly full bracelet again. I prefer them almost empty or totally full and I wanted something different which is why I wanted just 3 beads/2 clips one bead. I definitely want to stick with that format personally. I actually do like the designs, it's not that I'm doing designs I don't like for the cost. I just wasn't sure about the silver being in there. Gold and black would be my preference. If gold clips weren't so expensive I wouldn't have a problem!

Good idea about the sunburst clips but I have to be honest they're not my favorite. I think it's the straight sides when they're going to be standing alone like this. Out of all the two-tone clips the ones I chose are my favourite.

Thanks again :smile1:

Out of the two, I'm leaning towards the 2nd one. I just don't know if I like the oxidized metal with the sterling and then the gold. Then again, I'm not a pandora afficianado so don't take my advice to heart.

The only opposition I have to the second one is the silver clasp with the gold charms. I remember reading on these threads somewhere that they did make the leather with the gold clasp.

The second one reminds me of those Italian jewelry designers like Baraka etc.

Thanks for your comment about my bracelet. I'm having more items sent to me, so I'll post when I can put everything together. Things are a mish mash of everything because I purchased things out of impulse and not by design :p

Thanks for the advice, as far as I know the gold clasped leather is only available in the states and also only in the double wrap, so being in the uk not really an option for me! Otherwise it would be ideal for me in single length.
