Hi, you should definitely get one and a couple of charms to start with. What charms were you thinking of?:smile1:

I think i got it down to gold and silver charms possibly oxydised silver and gold.
The charms i like, wether they work together or not, i cant make my mind up are
Bird in the cage
Gifts or presents
Cupcake
Basket of flowers

There is one with diamonds that was in the sale recently at half the price and am kicking myself at not buying it.

As i wear gold rings etc it needs to work with what i wear. I did like the grey leather bracelet with the basket of flowers on its own or two baskets and the gold diamond one in the middle.

I am finding that what ever Pandora i go in they dont have all the charms so i can see what they all look like. I find it hard to believe that it will take 6-8 weeks for my local one to get the bird cage in.

I'm just confused .......

Oh and i chose the oxydised because i wear an aquamarie ring it picks on on that ....Boring compared to most but if i chose the grey leather this is what i would probably have on it but i want a silver bracelet also

That looks really pretty. Is this your leather bracelet, did you just buy it?

I think all the charms go together regardless. That's the great thing about Pandora charms. It doesn't matter what charms you put together, they just go.....:D

Its lovely. I suppose i also have to remember that its building it up over the long term rather than trying to fill it up at once thats part of the fun and once wearing it getting a feel of what i want to do with it but the basis has to be gold and silver.

No the sweet girl in Pandora said she would take a picture of it on me so i could look at it and decide but its certainly and option. I do like the leather bracelet as an alternative.

Thanks.:smile1:

I would definitely recommend the silver bracelet as your initial bracelet (or the two tone of that's what you prefer). It just looks so much more elegant. The new rigid feel of the bracelet with a couple of charms makes it look so pretty and shiny. Remember the rule - add 2cm to the size of your wrist for the ideal size. If you like it very loose then add another cm. This tends to make the bracelet quite big and bangs about on things like if you are typing or writing.

I have a leather bracelet too. Its the champagne colour one. You have to be careful when buying a coloured leather bracelet because not all colours will suit it unless you plan to keep it two tone. I also personally wouldn't go for 2 of the same charms as I think that would take up valuable space for another charm.:D

If you did go with this leather bracelet, I would suggest the next size up and it will be perfect.:smile1:

The grey one i would like as a casual one with just the flower basket on it, it picks up on my ring and works with my Mulberry slate Alexa bag :blushing:
Silver would def be the main one. im pretty sure i need the 17 as she said they do sretch slightly. One girl tried to tell me i should have an 18 but i dont want it too loose.

I am pleased i found you !

Haha, thanks! Yes you should go for the size you want. The leather comes in 17cm, then 19cm then 21cm I think. Mine is the smallest. I only wear a few charms on it. When you said that the girl said it would stretch, do you mean the silver or leather? They do say that but none of mine have stretched to this day. My first silver bracelet that I bought 8 years ago is still the same size as the day I bought it 19cm. My leather one hasn't stretched either. I think that some people wear their leather one while washing or in the shower and that will stretch it. The thing with the silver is not to have too many charms bunched in one section as that would force and stretch the bracelet, making the bracelet look pulled. I like to wear my silver pink themed one most days. I have a green and blue/teal silver bracelet too, an oxidised and the lilac macramé. I've got 2 necklaces and 3 rings also.

Bear in mind if you choose to add muranos on they do tend to take up a bit of room.

The silver one. Oddly enough most of the ones that have been tried on me have been softer, more slouchy than the last one which was quite rigid and they were all the bracelet not the bangle - dont like the bangle.

So i have something else to consider now..................
