Lovely collection - which is your favourite?
ok here are some pics...
In this first pic, the top one has the smaller core and the paler flowers
In this pic, you can see the difference in detail. I am ok with this, even the different size cores, as long as they are both Pandora.
The one on the left has the smaller core, and I can still return it if I decide to do so... But after looking at the website, I am not so sure that it is fake... I think they are both real, and that the Pandora muranos vary like Troll muranos, and that is cool with me, since I can't seem to find them anywhere in person... But I am going to check one last place to see if they have it...
The cherry blossom muranos look so pretty. To be honest it's really difficult to tell whether they are real or fake. They look pretty real to me but I know some people have said that the right one could be fake. The copies seem so accurate it's really hard to tell the difference. I know that the cherry blossom murano has a smaller core as others have stated, so if the core of the right one is the same as other muranos (older styles) then it could be fake. However, they are both pretty and no one would notice the difference.
I have a Pandora necklace but in sterling silver and not the snake chain like the bracelet. It's like a normal chain. I hang one charm on it and it's very sturdy. I'm not sure which spacer you mean but spacers are very light, and the chains are meant for charms to hang on so no it won't break.

Hi your bracelet is really cute! Since your bracelet is 18cm, you should really go for the 5cm but I suppose the 6cm won't make that much difference. Ideally the safety chain is to keep the bracelet on your wrist to prevent it from falling off, but because you have said that your bracelet rolls off your hand anyway, the size of the safety chain is entirely up to you. People who wear 18cm bracelets should go for the 4cm safety chain. 19cm = 5cm safety chain and so on.....that is the correct sizing.
In UK, we don't have the black pouches, just the little boxes with the black cushion inside. The pouch looks cute. Is it only available where you live?
Hi thank you so much for your help you have been so helpful
Oh my 4cm, I'm way off then! Oh well.... nothing I could do then
Most of the times I swear us babes on the forums are more knowledgeable than the SAs in those shops. I asked her if there's different lengths for safety chains and she told me that Pandora has 'standardized' all lengths from now on, so I took her word for it, until I got home and measured it with a ruler myself 
:shame: Oh have you tried asking for a 'drawstring pouch'? Maybe they have it but don't mention it. I'm pretty sure these are new designs. I'm in Australia at the moment. I phoned them about the pouches before I made my way down to the store lol. Maybe you could do that too
PS: Your necklace is GORGEOUS! It looks really elegant and feminine.
just wanted to pop by and say hi,
also wanted to add that the cherry blossom muranos do indeed have smaller cores and also I have seen in store myself some bigger than others not on the core but the glass itself some look like really small muranos and others standard size. pandoras excuse for this is that they are all handmade
so its always best to hand pick your muranos really to get the sizing correct for you.
also I no longer collect Pandora I had to get rid of my full collection so this is why I don't come on here a lot anymore.
I still sell though so get my fix that way lol.
really tired as well today just returned back from my well deserved holiday break but iching like mad the mosquitos have had a good feed off me.

They are both quite pretty!
I went to a local authorized Pandora retailer on Thursday, and sadly the one on the right is fake... So I sent a message to the seller, and I have already sent it off to be returned. I am still learning, I am more familiar with Trollbeads so lesson learned on this one!
Does anyone know offhand if Pandora's spacers have threads? I am looking at a couple to act as "covers" for the exposed threaded ends and I would love some input, thanks!
Most spacers don't have threads, I think only the vintage flower spacer has threading. But I'm not sure that it does have thread. I can look later on because I do have that one.

Aw, thanks!
Yes I think the safety chains are all 5cm but some stores still have the old ones in stock which were different sizes. I must admit I have never seen a drawstring bag with any Pandora purchase - just yours in the photo. They look really cute. I shall enquire next time. If you are unhappy with your safety chain you should be able to take it back. 6cm isn't too bad though. I think we girls on here definitely know more than the SAs. We always help each other out on here.You are correct, spacers don't have threads. I don't know about the flower one you have mentioned but all the spacers I have seen don't.
Spacers don't have threads but you could opt for the clip on safety chain to covers these, or the normal safety chain but if your bracelet isn't full, the safety chain won't stay on the ends.
Thanks!
My friend has the pearl version which is also very pretty. She has the snake chain though like the bracelet and wears hers all the time. It looks so pretty.- Status
