Your bracelet is really pretty, I love it. I really wouldn't advise you sleep or bathe/shower in them, as some chemicals can dull the silver and once that happens, you can't restore the shine. Sleeping in it could pull or twist your bracelet by accident and break it. Probably unlikely but would you want to risk it? Why don't you buy a bracelet opener for it? Not the Pandora one but you can get a similar ones from ebay that make opening your bracelet a lot easier.

If the bracelet tarnishes, can't we just take it to a jeweler to get it cleaned in the machine? Doesn't that restore it?

I got my first pandora bracelet for christmas! The three charms on the far side are inner strength, forever entwined (I lost my beloved dog so she is forever with me), and the red stones are the January stone which is when I lost my beloved pet and the day she passed is the day my new puppy was born, then the love flower bouquet is from my dear boyfriend, and the key to my heart charm as well!

I'm so happy!

Do you guys sleep with your bracelets on? And shower with them on? It's so hard to take it off and put it on by myself I was wondering what everyone did?

I absolutely love the thought behind your bracelet. i recently bought a pandora essence bracelet with smoky topaz/compassion to represent my pup that recently passed.
as for wearing your bracelets, it depends. i sleep, shower with my bracelets, i feel pandora is good quality and that it is ok, but since you have the charm key to my heart on there, i would be a bit concerned about the key falling off in case you were to do something to your bracelet in your sleep. However, with practice, it becomes easier and easier to open and close the clasp, so i would take it off for sleep because of that one particular charm. Hope that helps!

got paid today, i will be picking up my check when i go into work at pandora tomorrow, hopefully it will be a nice check! i might be bringing home my HG pandora piece tomorrow :)
i put together all my beads on one bracelet. looking at all my pieces together, i am thinking there is a recurring theme here.
i will post it in a few minutes.

i have a much smaller collection than I thought! even though I have been working at Pandora for a few weeks as holiday help, I have mostly spent it on christmas presents for others and i added three charms to my essence bracelet.
i put all these on my silver bracelet, though I also have an oxidised bracelet.
i have been considering three charms... Stella, Gilded Cage, and Golden Dragonflies. I can only buy one.
I cannot say that I will always wear my bracelet like this, I merely wanted to show you all the Pandora charms I have :)

Thank you so much Tabitha! A bracelet opener is such a great idea. I definitely won't be sleeping or bathing with the bracelet I'm glad I asked for advice before I did either one! It's so special I would not want to risk anything happening. Thank you for your response and advice!

Another question I have for everyone, do you recommend getting the safety chain? I probably will but is it that likely that the bracelet will come undone?

Thank you all and I love all the gorgeous bracelets!

Thank you for your response! I love that you got a pandora for your pup as well, I love the thought and meaning behind it makes it that much more special. And I love the essence bracelets as well!

I am a bit worried about the key to my heart charm in general about the key getting caught on something and ripped off, has anyone had problems with this charm? I won't be sleeping with it on good call! And I will spend some time practicing removal and putting on haha :) it's putting on that is the worst!

Thank you again for your kind words.

I'm seriously considering getting a safety chain - possibly tomorrow when I bring my bracelet in to get looked at. I moreso want one because I think it would create some ease in putting on and removing the bracelet (I'm afraid of dropping it!).

I personally love the Dreamer safety chain. If anyone has a photo of one on their bracelet I'd love to see!

i don't have a safety chain on mine, but if i were to get one, it would be the dreamer one! i might get one though. Someone brought in an older pandora bracelet and she definitely needed one. i guess the clasp wears out after awhile, but this was a VERY old pandora bracelet!

A safety chain makes the bracelet look so much prettier. It gives it a finished look. I promise!
