Hi.does anyone know if Pandora makes a grandmother bead. Was thinking of getting the promotion for mothers day for my mom from me and my daughters.

I think some people have the babushka doll, maybe? Or some people get the birthstone flower for the month their grandmother was born. They are pretty and I would probably do that if I was wanting one for that reason. :smile1:

Ooh fantastic, thank you. It's the new silver and gold flower basket charm that just came out for the spring and summer collection. I have the little flower one which also has gold saying "love." You should definitely go for the 7.5 bracelet. You will be happier for it and when it gets fuller, you will be pleased you changed it. : )

I checked out the flower basket charm yesterday. It's really beautiful. I would say it's neither large nor small (not very helpful, I know). It's about the same size as the silver and gold dragonfly charm. I think it may be a little bit bigger than the flower one you already have. I really liked it a lot.

Exchanged my 7.1 bracelet for the 7.5. The SA said I should go with the 7.5 or else I'd be coming back there to buy a new one once it gets filled and she'd be saying "I told you so." I think I'm going to like the larger one once it's filled up. I did try on a full one and I liked the way it slides up and down my arm and has movement.

Now I have to exchange the other 7.1 I have because it was from a different store. So now I get to be embarrassed twice, LOL.

I wonder how much that would be in English pounds. The cheapest here for a silver charm is £20 and the plain silver spacers are cheaper. Have Pandora been around for long where you live? My parents are going to Hong Kong later in the year but I wouldn't ask them to buy me any charms there as I can imagine it would cost more. : )

You would think they'd be cheaper in China since that's where they're made (I think).

Haha, yep, told you so....no, I definitely think you will be happier with the 7.5. I didn't realise you had two 7.1s. Well, you have done it once so don't be embarrassed and go and exchange the other one then you will be even happier. Thanks for checking out the flower basket charm for me, it sounds lovely. I may well get it in the future. It's quite pricey so something to save up for I think.

I think Pandora is Danish isn't it? The fakes are from China haha. Everything from China is fake - no offence to anyone but they do sell a lot of knock offs, I should know being Chinese! : )

Thanks, you're right, I think I'll be a lot happier with the 7.5 sizes. I only have the middle section filled in one of them and then I don't have anything yet for the second one. I just ordered the silver S clips though. I think I want to go with purple for my second bracelet. It might be a while though till I can get some charms for it. I guess I should finish the first one before I do. My birthday isn't till June so might have to wait a bit. Of course there's always mother's day and I guess my cats could get me a couple charms :)

I think you'd really like the flower basket. It is kind of pricey but maybe you can get it in the future.

I thought I'd read that Pandora is designed in Denmark but actually made in China. I don't know if the person knew what they were talking about though.

Gingersnap, you should start wearing your bracelet everyday! Mine are kind of heavy but they make me so happy. Tabitha, that's so nice that you'll have some local Pandora!

I want to share a Pandora story! My 10 year old daughter had to write an essay for school about something she didn't like doing but had to do. She chose to write a whole essay about being dragged to the Pandora store with me! She wrote how she and her sister were forced to spend hours there, regularly, and how torturous it was. She wrote how she hated when she heard me say,"I think I'll take this charm today, but can I just see one more tray of charms to be sure?" My daughter was really descriptive and I thought it was hilarious. She's lucky that this is the worst thing in her life, right? So I told my Pandora store about the essay and they wanted a copy of it. I gave it to them and they read it at a regional meeting. Then the store manager presented my daughter with a gift: the purple leather bracelet with the silver heart charm! They were sorry she hated Pandora so much! Now she wears her own bracelet!

That was so cute! Next essay will be about how going to the Pandora store is her favorite thing.

I am so excited about the animal print murano glass beads coming! I have a giraffe/elephant bracelet going with Troll and a couple other brand beads on there and the giraffe spots will be such a perfect addition. Can't wait!

I bet they'll look great on your bracelet, Linda. I can't wait to see those muranos too, since they always look so much nicer in person.
