the PANDORA bracelet thread

[Louliu71]

I hope so ! Cant post image now until Sunday.



I think now the front of mine is complete it makes it easier to take a break ( even though i have asked my Pandora to get me a Hedgehog as i darent walk down to the new one in Oxford Street. If i am going to fill the sides (which isnt my plan at the mo) its all together a different ball or charm game asi would have to fill both sides at the same time and i cant even think about that one !

The oxy one went back today and i think i will leave it for now. I was really dissapointed that the clasp was faulty ( although so far, over the phone, they are saying it wasnt) as i really really liked it and i liked the fact that it wasnt stiff like the newer ones but hey ho !
I think i made the sensible choice in the safety chain as what i do have now with just the front done, amounts to over £500 worth of bracelet, i know that isnt as much as some have spent but still a lot of money to slide off your wrist.
I like the one i chose as it doesnt interfer with the look or look like i have charms sitting weirdly at the back of it. Still you will see on Sunday when i post an image !

Methinks you are right, I kind of wished I had stopped at the front now. I think 2 more charms and I'm done. If I swap for the bangle it will just have 3 charms, the 2 harlequins and the black faceted. I just think the leather won't last and can't believe the bangle is only £5 dearer than the triple leather so seems a no brainer to me as I want something that will last.

Wow £500..... glad I didn't go down the all two tone route, just the two are enough for me. I think I know the one you mean, I'm sure that's what I picked too.

DH bought me the double leather and charms, so don't feel too guilty about spending an insane amount on a load if silver.

Look forward to the completed reveal.

I love my Pixie Fairy - Dont do it

I do too on your bracelet, but not on mine, it sticks out too much and I can't think of anyone to balance it the other end. Also I have a similar charm on my links sweetie and it used to get caught on things all the time. God forbid it scratched one of my bags

I thought i might keep one leather bracelet purely to keep and wear any charms i might buy in the future on and then when i have enough transfer them my existing one or start a new silver one.

Hi hi hi, we are another couple with the same overlapping passions

Aha, snap!

Ooohhh that looks lovely. I bet it makes a nice sound too

This is great! I wish I was lucky enough to pick out a drawer with the new bangle (note recent rant about the look of my bangle a month in).

I just bought the bubble spacers and toyed between those and the smooth ones. Which ones are your favourite?

That's pretty awesome. love it.

Thank you ladies I would love to complete the whole bangle in gold spacers - but it'll take far too long and would probably weigh too much! One day, maybe

I can't decide on my favourite - probably the bubbles but it changes a lot

 

[Plemont]

Thanks for this! I'm so jealous that you got to go! If I lived in London, I'd have been down there like a shot haha.

This all sounds lovely. Love macaroons, shame the bubbly wasnt alcoholic
I didn't know it was worth going regardless, for the jewelery tower...Was that just for today?

Lovely bracelets all, glad those that went to Oxford st enjoyed it,

Cynical me thought that it'd be long queues, rushed once in the shop, and that most of the surprise gifts would be the very cheapest silver spacers, but it really wasn't like that at all! (well apart from the long queues and the staff did their best to make sure that people in the queue were happy).

The jewellery tower was for the opening day only, unfortunately. I wonder if Pandora take it to other stores for special events? - definitely worth looking out for

Good plan! You could also use it for 'mix and match' - maybe taking one or two charms off your current bracelet for a more casual look. Swapping them around is part of the fun! Look forward to seeing the updated photos.

Strictly speaking, it's a bracelet thread - but I thought I'd sneak a picture of my necklace in here.. It's currently asymmetrical which doesn't matter in a bracelet but annoys me in a necklace, so my next purchase will have to be another twist spacer

Leeds Pandora do this alot. Spend £75 and get to choose a free gift from the cupboard. Not cheap freebies either. Charms like the two tone bird cageor a silver bracelet etc.

Does anyone know the following...
I'm away at moment and been bought early birthday presents which I already have. No receipts as uncle didn't anticipate getting it wrong bless him. Do any pandora exchange (don't want a refund)? They are unworn and boxed. Also we actually want to exchange for items that I'd have to pay extra for. I've emailed the nearest store but no reply as yet.
Also what's the multi string bracelet recommendation on max number of charms... Any help I'm either desperately appreciated xx

A lot insist on receipts but you may get a kind soul who will exchange it on the sly. I don't know how you would be able to exchange for charms at a higher price without the receipt cos they would need to put it through the till. Maybe you could try for same price items.

I was able to exchange and pay the difference for a new item at Pandora that I didn't have a receipt for (which I got as a gift also). The SA called the manager over and she examined the charm to make sure there were no scratches. I guess it depends on the store manager.

My newest bracelet:

I wanted a green themed bracelet, so the fall collection is really up my alley. I love the feather themes, I've decided I'll get the matching ring and pendant as well.

Everything on the picture above is new, except the clips. I just transferred the clips from another bracelet. Does anyone have any suggestions of a nice pair of clips that would go well with this green leaves bracelet?
