Forgot to ask for a hand shot - pleaseee? :smile1:

: I'm trying to remember; do you have an 18cm? I'm between sizes 18 and 19cm. Hubby bought me a silver barrel clasp (I finally have one, yay!) and it's a bit loose at 19cm. It would prob be good with muranos and if it didnt strech, I'm guessing an 18 would be too tight for them. Argh, what to do?

Do bracelets only strech if full or regardless? Thanks!

Tomorrow !
They advise 2-3 cm larger than your wrist as a guide to what size bracelet to buy. My wrist actually measures 16cm with the tape measure lose - not strained at all and i have an 18cm bracelet. I think they stretch slightly but i also think the bracelet *relaxing* could give the impression of stretching. My bracelt with the charms on it slides over my wrist and rests further down my hand than i would like it to. I have no plans for mureno charms but cant imagine even if i filled it up with charms like i have it would make it *smaller* - if that makes any sence ?
If i buy another in the future i will get them to put all my charms on the smaller 17cm bracelet so i can see if the size is better.

Please you got your bracelet

I don't know if it's possible to ask this question on here, but I'd like to get some feedback on this particular Pandora listing.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=331017431963&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:CA:1123
I don't know if it's normal that a seller doesn't feature the individual charms on the bracelet but instead shows stock photos.

I wanted to know if this raises some red flags for people or not? I'm just concerned about the legitimacy of a this seller.
I thought I'd ask here to get some feedback from Pandora specific lovers! I'm still enjoying my pandora bracelets like crazy and I'm really happy with everything I've got. I just thought I'd be nice to get this lovely green one to add to my collection!
TIA

Lots of red flags....the biggest one being only 96% positive feedback! That's horrible in my book! Also, stock photos are also a red flag, although the first pic was real. I would not buy from this seller......

Thanks so much!
I was hemming and hawing over what to do about this seller.
I contacted someone else who recently purchased Pandora items from this seller (based on their feedback) and that woman said they were authentic as far as she could tell, but the whole process was super sketchy. She said she's got a good eye for detail and as far as she could tell everything checked out alright. Again, she got a crazy deal from this seller so she also said she's been very skeptical as well.

That other buyer did note that it's unlikely new Pandora release items could be faked, but I leave that opinion up to the knowledgeable people here on tpf in the Pandora section.

I was so close to making a purchase happen tonight as well.
Getting into contact with this seller is like pulling teeth.

When I did get a response from the seller about those stock photos, he said that he couldn't get close ups of the actual items, but when I receive the items they would be authentic.
He guaranteed authenticity, but required me to pay outside of ebay to save on costs. In the invoice the word Pandora was spelled incorrectly and the item description is just 'goods'. Super sketchy!

Thanks again!!!!!

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:D

We had this event at my local store in Canterbury in July. I picked out an oxidised silver bracelet and my friend got the flow bangle!! :smile1:

Well done! I wonder how we can find out where it's going to be held next? :smile1:

I think it might be a new store thing as the one near me had also just recently opened. We only had a shop in shop before!

In other news, two other charms arrived for my quickly filling bracelet today, might need a safety chain! The new ones are the black oval lights and the onyx Mother Nature.

I am worn Pandora for 7 years now and this is my opinion. Always for 3cm on your bracelet if you want to add muranos. If you plan to just have charms then add 2cm which should be fine. If you like it close fitting then go for for 18cm, but it you like it with a little give then opt for the 19cm. None of my bracelets have stretched even a mm since the day I bought them (one is 7 years old), however some people have said that theirs have stretched, which in my opinion could be caused by either putting too many charm in one section (meaning bunching them up too tight), or possibly sleeping in it.

The best bet would be for you to go to a shop and try both an 18cm and a 19cm full bracelet and see which one hangs the best for you.:smile1:

My wrist is 15.5cm and I wear a full 19cm with 3 muranos and it's perfect for me.

Thanks again Tabitha. Yes, my wrist is 15.5cm too and I generally don't like bracelets to be too close fitting, but I am planning to build this bracelet over the longer term and don't want to risk losing it etc.

I'd love to try a full bracelet in both sizes but my local Pandora doesn't seem to have any on display! They are all half full at best. Have to go into Oxford St to see if I can find one.

I am also planning for 3 muranos so it's good to know that the 19cm fits you well as your wrist is the same size as mine. I have an oxidised one now too, and it's 18cm, but it only has the clips and one charm and therefore fits well. I could imagine it being fine with the muranos only if it did stretch a little.

I have to take some new pics when I can...

Once again :ty: for your advice, as always :smile1:

Gorgeous! You have so many of the charms that I like and covet :smile1:
I am planning for a black/white/gold theme bracelet and seeing yours was inspiring.

My friend's wrist size is the same as mine or less give a few mms, and she wears a full 18cm with two muranos. It looks pretty tight. It doesn't have much room to move.:smile1:
