the PANDORA bracelet thread

[Louliu71]

No that's why I wanted you to go and report back to us.x

What's pandora at Bicester like??? Haven't been for a while x

One more pic

Lovely bracelet, you look very petite so can understand why you want to take some weight

Argh......some reason is quoting stuffs hadn't ask it to quote......doh!

So off we went on a holiday today and I was so excited at seeing the Pandora store at the airport, but disappointed as it's not duty free! They really don't want to devalue the brand, do they?

Then went to a local store here and the snake bracelet is £10 more ...They have stock of some retired charms at reduced prices so might pick up a couple. I am missing out on the UK promo by being away but hopefully they will get the autumn collection here too so I can have a holiday treat.

I look forward to seeing pics of all the goodies you ladies pick up with the promo!

Have a lovely holiday......you can always order from Argento, nice pressie will be waiting for you on your return .....given up with multi quotes

Took advanage of the offer today, although i didnt go for the silver grey triple i went for the teal colour. In doing so i think i have completed the front ofmy bracelet by adding the apple and abstract heart. Little bit of space still left but not enough for a charm but could have small spacers perhaps but i prefer not to add more.

Ok, so.............having got the teal bracelet this morning, i went back to the store this afternoon to ask what charms they think would work on it as it wasnt something i had thought about. So we were chatting and i happened to mention (again) that i was ideally waiting for the new forrest collection before i bought more charms and low and behold..........

........they had them all in !

On my list were Green Murano, Peacock, Mrs Hedghog, Fairy Pixi and Birds and Branches
Psycholigically i just couldnt go for it having already buying in there this morning so i started with these two and will get the Mureno and maybe something else next week.

Sorry for the blurry pics, the light is not good in here this time of day.

Lovely 2nd naughty purchase!

Arghhhhhh.....I didn't see these in Canary Wharf otherwise I would have gone for the fairy, it was a right kerfuffle. They told me they were only doing the single leather bracelet, so I spent £90 and got the single black leather bracelet, but wasn't happy as id spent enough for a double. i went online and saw Argento were doing all 3 bracelets in the offer, so I bought some more from to qualify for the triple. Checked my emails and low and behold I had an email from Pandora with the full single, double and triple bracelet offer. So back I went to pandora to get what was rightly mine (free double) and they couldn't manage to work out how to exchange so I'd get a double bracelet. I paid another £5 and they finally managed to change it to the triple.......45 minutes later!

Got home and busily arranged the new charms on my bracelet and my OCD is back big time!

I may change the black for the teal as it really is pretty.

Its a gorgeous colour. Hoping it will look good with my bracelet as I want to wear them together. Mulberry hasn't excited me for a long time & I got hooked on LV & then my latest Chanel purchase but I still have a soft spot for the Daria & Alexa. Pretty sure I will end up with one at some stage. But I totally agree with you, its quite nice to be obsessed with something a little different. A little cheaper too

I've always loved Pandora. I bought my daughter a bracelet for her 16th birthday & its now completely full (she's 19 now), will try & post a pic soon, but never been interested in the bracelets & charms myself until now. Now I can't get enough of them

Taking a trip to Bicester tomorrow to have a look in the outlet. Hoping they might have something to tempt me

So come on spill the beans, what have you done??? x

Welcome.....not sure this is the cheaper option!

Yes I blamed my daughter, we bought her one for her birthday barely 4 weeks ago and it's been downhill since then! Look forward to both bracelet pics and a stock list from Pandora

Silver finished bracelet (the s charm is chamilia though)

Hi Everyone I'm fairly new to collecting Pandora, only started a month ago. I've had great pleasure looking at all your beautiful bracelets & charms. I don't have that many yet but this is my bracelet so far.

So many more on my long list haha! I went for the teal triple smooth leather in the promo as well as thought they may look nice worn together. Haven't tried it out yet though.

Aiming for the underwater/turquoise theme. The gold handbag was top of my list, due to my love of handbags & hope it fits in ok. I'm kind of going with the fact that its the golden treasure buried under the sea. I think I may have finally lost the plot haha! Could do with a few more gold ones It looks a bit lonely!



This is how it looks on with my TS bracelet

Teal leather and the start of my two tone. Any ideas where to go with it next? X

All lovely bracelets.......I do like the teal, need to be brave and go for something other than black

Ditto!

What is the store in Canary Wharf like, its been years since i went to the shops there. I get the Jubilee line mostly and used to jump off and mooch around *up there*

It's quite small but plenty of choice in Pandora, the SA was lovely despite her not knowing what the promo was. The flyer in store clearly on had the £75 deal, so don't blame her. They have some lovely bracelet examples made up and all te SA wear then too. Very warm in there, all the lighting I suppose.

It wasnt very busy, well not like I was expecting for the first day of the promo. The SA gave me the idea it was very well planned or publicised.

I very barely venture out as it gets so busy at lunch time. There are some new shops opening the other side, not sure what yet, but wouldn't be surprised if it was a Mulberry as you see so many round there. If they don't, I think they are missing out as they would get a lot of custom IMO.

I've been there 7 years and it s a lot better than it was. Usual high street stores, one of the better Karen Millens and a great French Connection, Ted Baker, all the usual suspects.its weird the through traffic is manic but the stores are never overly packed.

I liked the apple, i wanted it as a memo of New York and i got that as i dont like the Statue of Liberty charm. I looked up the true meaning of abstract and some of it seemed to fit with me thats why i chose the abstract heart charm!
The leather ? well i wasnt planning on keeping it but i rather like it now. Not sure what i would put on it as it want on my radar until a few hours ago. Also it doesnt feel quite a secure to me so if i keep it i will wear it without charms for a while and see how i feel about it.
Still dont know why i didnt go for the silver grey but he ho - completely slipped my mind while i was there.

That's interesting! Forgot that apple can mean NYC too. I bought it as a nod to teaching, I lecture medical students. It's lovely that the charms can mean different things to different individual

Lovely bracelet! Are you planning to have many charms on the leather and two tone or just a few?

You've been a very busy girl!
I just love this double bracelet with the new charms
So so lovely
Once you get the murano in, it will be awesome

Totally correct! Crown is on oxi. Am in York at the mo but am back tomorrow. Will post comments then on peoples bracelet - they are all so beautiful. I have bought the every cloud has a silver lining open work here. My friend paid for half as a treat for me! I love the charm. That is on my oxi too. Will post pics when I am back.x

That's lovely of your friend. Look forward to your pics

Wow, that was a hassle and a half to get your bracelet
It gets annoying when there's communication breakdown between HQ and local stores.
At least you got it and can start playing with your charms *yay*
Looking forward to your new combination!

 

[frzsri]

Haven't got anything from the new collection...BUT
my last purchase from U/M sale arrived today!!
I don't have any dangle charms because I wasn't sure if it would suit my bracelet but couldn't resist the price and I'm glad I didn't because it looks perfect, if I do say so myself

Sorry the pics aren't great, the light is poor this time of day.
