In April I finished my bracelet and now it's loose and looks like it needs more charms. I have another Pandora that I only wear one charm on, not a Pandora but a Judith Ripka pave heart that dangles off and I love it. The bracelet stays nice and round and keeps it shape. What should I do? They've already replaced the bracelet once. You can def tell it's stretched out, there's a space between the bracelet and the round thing that says Pandora. Should I try and replace it again and go smaller? Would all my charms fit on a bangle style bracelet and if so will they let me exchange it for that? What should I do??? TIA for any advice.

I like the bangle bracelet but I worry that the charms will scratch the smooth finish of the silver as they rub along it. My bracelet is also stretched out but I asked in two stores and in both they said it was normal and not a manufacturers defect so they couldn't do anything about it. I think if u got a new one it would stretch out eventually too.

Any chance of posting a pic?

I have never encountered a stretched bracelet before, even though I have 4. Is the bracelet too big for you now? If you add another charm, will it not make it look better? I depends how long you have had the bracelet? If you have had it a few months then I would probably say that they won't let you exchange it. I doubt all the charms will fit onto the bangle. I've a feeling that they bangle is not meant to be full of charms. If your bracelet is not too big despite the stretching then I would say keep it; however if you are unhappy then buy another bracelet but 1 size down.

In theory I suppose sterling silver would stretch a little but I have 4 bracelets and non have stretched. I have a leather which would definitely stretch over time and mine hasn't stretched either. I think by putting too many charms on one section and not giving them enough room between each one will definitely push for space and stretch the bracelet.

I've not got the bangle myself but I hear that it's not that comfortable when you wear it full with charms. Maybe you should try it on in store and see what you think?
If not, you can try replacing the bracelet. I've got 4 snake chain bracelets from pandora, and none have stretched very much at all: maybe you've just been unlucky? I've heard that helps if you space your charms out evenly and put clips on the bracelet.
