After a recent SNAD purchase on eBay, I finally managed to pick up a bargain from a lovely ebayer.

It was just the bracelet and the swirly ball, the basket weave is from pandora and the clips and red murano are from the SNAD (was described as new but was actually used) the rose was a quick buy on eBay.....think it's genuine?

I was planning the bracelet to be based on life experiences only, I just put the clips and the murano on there to get an idea.

I definitely need some two tones and some colour albeit it will be a black theme.......I don't think I can limit myself to one a month......I have a new addiction now!



I got the dolphin from the same seller as the rose, but I'm not sure it's genuine, any thoughts would be much appreciated please.



It doesn't screw on, although there is a thread in the middle, the hole is so big it slips off the thread on the end of my bracelet. It's has ALE stamped on it, but is quite feint and I can't see the 925 hallmark.

Many thanks

I have finally got my Pandora bangle (well, it's been a couple of weeks) and two beads, and I am a happy bunny.

However...and here comes the part most of you are familiar with...I can't stop thinking about my next purchases. I want to get a pair of Solaris clips and some other bits and pieces.

I could buy them now but I am shortly going abroad (another European country with a Pandora shop) and I am also secretly hoping that there will be another UK promotion come September and the new collection.

Can anyone comment on the likelyhood of this happening?
How often do UK promotions run approx?

I am so new to the world of Pandora (and already hooked).

Thanks and have a good weekend everyone!

There is a bracelet charm and clips deal coming up in uk stores - I think it's sep/oct and it is definitely the new pandora bag charm x

Today i went to get the clips as my three charms are sliding all over the place. I went to get the Solaris clips but they only had one ( this is the reason it took me so long to finally buy a bracelet, my local store is always out of stock). I then looked at my second option, the Starfish or possibly having one of each rather than two the same but there is a big gap where the Starfish closes which really put me off as the Solaris doesnt have it. I wouldnt have minded if it stayed in place but it kept twisting round so the actual Starfish couldnt be seen and the gap could. I thought they they would stay in place as they are *clipped* on but these didnt seem to ?

I have that same dolphin, purchased new, and it also comes off the bracelet very easily. Looking at my charms some of them have bigger holes than others so that could be why. The only ones aren't big enough to fall off are the clips.

Hi, just cleaned my links and Tiffany bracelets, links wasn't too bad for not being worn for a few months, however my Tiffany were really quite disgusting, not black, but if you found it in the street you would think it was trash.

Happy cleaning!

Just spent a good part of the last hour cleaning! I'll need to take off all of the charms at some point for a more thorough clean, but at least it's now wearable :D

It's not the first time that I've not worn the bracelet for a while only to find it tarnished, though it's never been as bad as this. I'll try storing it in a non Pandora box next time to see if that makes any difference.

Before (I'd already started cleaning the clasp):

Several cleaning cloths and a lot of elbow grease later...

Here's hoping it won't tarnish so quickly again! :sweatdrop:

The clips do turn a little. Thats normal. Have you not bought any clips then?

No, the fact that they move put me off a little ! i rather hoped they would stay put.. The Solaris were not so bad but maybe i need to broaden my sights as to which ones i want. I will go back to the lady that helped me in the first place and see what she suggests
I think i also may hold out on clips until
A. The offer mentioned in a previous post is available as i do want a bag charm
B. Until i have the Birds and Branches charm and the green murano charms

Im in no rush but i cant wait until this bracelet softens, its driving me mad and looks a slightly odd oval shape, like its breaking itself in.

Its exciting but hard work this charm malarkey.
