Hi all,

Just thought I'd share my current pandora collection. I received the essence collection bracelet and charms for Xmas and I really am in love with it!

Thanks!x My charms are just charms that I like. Some have meaning and some I like because they are pretty. I have lots more charms and another couple of bracelets. I know most people apply meaning to their charms but because I have been wearing my bracelets for about 8 years, I just go for the pretty charms now haha! My friend and I buy charms for each other for xmas and birthday gifts so I guess they do have meaning........Anyway, when you first got your bracelet did it have the kink in? Did you sleep in it? My experience over the years is that certain places on the bracelet soften sooner than other areas - weird I know. The bracelet is rigid when you first get it and over the course of a month or so, the bracelet becomes very floppy and flexible. This is how it will become. Are you happy with this?

I'm not sure if it was like in the first place to be honest because I didn't take as good of a look at it until I put the clips on the following day. I did not sleep with my bracelet on. I know that the bracelet will soften but I only got it on the 25th so I'm a little surprised by the kink. I've seen authentic used Pandora bracelets online and while they look softer/stretched out they are still round.

8 years is a long time to collect! You must have charms that you don't wear. Where do you store those? I'm hoping Pandora does a GWP this year, I love the round jewelry box.

Sometimes the bracelet are already soft in store. Surprisingly they aren't all rigid. For instance, the silver and gold bracelet is often quite soft as my friend tried some on in the shop, and she wanted a rigid one but found that a lot of them were already soft. I don't know why this is. I have no doubt your bracelet will even itself out in time, however, since this is your first bracelet and obviously, you love it and want it to be perfect, you should take it back for your own peace of mind. I am sure they will exchange you another bracelet if you have the receipt.


Yes I have lots of old charms that I am not keen on anymore. They are just lying there in my jewellery box. Sometimes I think I would like to get rid of the lot and just keep a couple of full bracelets. I never wear them all, as I have my favourites, which are the ones I posted. I have a leather and a macramé and two more barrel clasp bracelets, but one of them is the old barrel design. What will your next purchase be?

I think the silver bow charm would be a perfect addition to your bracelet.

Guess who just went and got a safety chain! I got the heart chain I love how delicate and petite it looks! I love my bracelet!

I also got two new charms, the hope chest, and the looking glass bead!

I'm addicted!

I'm on my way over to the store now so I'll let you know how that goes!

I guess you could probably try to sell some of the charms you no longer want and get new ones? I love to build collections so I'm anticipating that down the road I'll find myself in the same predicament you're in, hah.

I think I'm going to purchase the Dreamer safety chain today, because now that I have 5 charms and 2 clips I'm beginning to see the value in having one. I also agree with you, they look very pretty.

I have a wishlist of charms I would like to eventually get:

Light as a feather
Dog house
Forget me knot
Journey
Perfect gift
Serendipity
Dad

Do you have any of these? Any charms you recommend to a newbie like me?? :)

And this is the other bracelet I have (I actually got it today for the free gift with 100 or over purchase! - if any ladies live near long island, ny go to the roosevelt field mall garden city store and the kiosk in the mall too by santa claus in the huge circular atrium (near jcpenney's - they have a huge stock of them!)

This is the bangle bracelet (I picked that today) and my charm bracelet just a little filled and 2 of my rings
