Hi Ladies, here's an action shot of my toggle necklace. I just snapped it (I'm at work) using the webcam on my laptop so the quality is not the greatest. You can imagine the look in my co-workers eyes when I almost had to swallow my pc to get a close up....lol...

The good news is that I love it and have just ordered a second one to use as a bracelet...The bad news is that I've been purchasing SS/14k and just 14k diamond beads to start a new diamond/SS/14k bracelet but used up 3 charms for the necklace... Oh...what to do :shrugs::lolots:

well, i am very excited to say that today is our wedding anniversary and my husband (and daughter) picked out the brown leather bracelet with two charms for my anniversary gift. it was something that i recommended to my husband so when he goes to buy me something for my birthday, valentine's day, hanukkah, etc. he can bring my daughter along to pick out the next charm for my pandora bracelet.

she had made a comment to me a few months ago about my cartier love bangle and wanting something similar from her (she is 10) since it was from my husband and never removed, but obviously we weren't going to spend that much so i figured this would be an ideal solution and each charm will be picked out by her.

unfortunately, when my husband gave it to me, the charm that my daughter picked out was from brighton. :sad: i really do hate their stuff as i just feel like their charms in comparison to pandora are too ornate for my taste, so even though i struggled with the decision, we headed down to the store (which thankfully is only a few blocks from our loft) and exchanged it for the pandora charms instead (i went ahead and got a second charm...:graucho: while i was there).

anyway, once i get a few more, i will take a pic to add to this thread. i just feel like the two charms will be so boring in comparison to everybody's lovely bracelets.

hello ladies...I have been following this thread for few weeks. LOVE everything here. Finally I pulled the trigger and had my first Pandora purchase yesterday. Got a silver bracelet and 3 beads. I'm sure this is just the start of the addiction and it will not be a cheap one.....:laugh:

I only have 2 charms on a pink leather bracelet. I'm getting 2 more charms for Christmas (already purchased, but set aside!)

ooh, very nice! i really liked the pink bracelet. very pretty!

i couldn't decide on the black or the brown (i pretty much wear black everyday), but opted for the brown since i will be wearing it alongside my RG cartier bangle. i guess i just felt it looked better next to it instead of the black.

one question for you all that i haven't considered—are these meant to be worn everyday like the cartier love bangle? i mean, can you shower in them, sleep in them, etc.? since it's leather, i didn't really consider that until now. i guess it's not a big deal to take off before i go to sleep or before i shower, but just thought i'd ask beforehand.

My PANDORA store store gave me the big Catalogue, Bead box and Padora bracelet box for free. Infact from past few purchases I ask them to nest all my 3 4 beads in one big box. So they give me the Bracelet box. I have made my own little jewelry box, by joining these cases. If anyone interested I can share the pics.

That's been my experience also. They also gave me the ceramic cupcake and apron - twice! :nuts:

leather - no. It shouldn't get wet. Also a leather bracelet should only hold about 5 charms. It can't be loaded all the way around.

i went ahead and took it off this morning before i showered, but i did sleep with it.

also, i did know that the leather strap should not be filled, but the SA told me i could fit 8-10 charms on it? five just seems minimal to me. right now i have 2 and i know 3 more wouldn't be an issue at all. she had just said when the strap is filled up, it could stretch. which i have no intentions of filling up anyway, i will probably just get the black leather strap once i have reached the 8-10 max on this one.

since i just got this last night, there is so much that i don't know about with these charms and the whole pandora thing, but i guess i will learn soon enough. :yahoo:

thanks!!! i hope it doesn't scratch it too badly while sitting flush with it. but i will most likely be taking it off when i sleep and of course when i shower. i probably won't work out with it or play tennis with it either. the charms are too uncomfortable right now—most likely because i'm not used to it yet.

They recommend 5 max on the leather. I believe that is in the catalog as well.

bummer. :sad:

i still may push it for 8, worse that could happen is the bracelet stretches and i have to get another one. no biggy.

I'm officially cut off..... As most of you know, I'm wanting to put together a SS/14K diamond bracelet (with some black diamonds and onyx)....I decided I would go slowly this time but......

In the past month I've bought:

2 14k ribbed clips
Matrix 14k diamond bead
SS/14k Kerry's diamond bead
SS/14k Dark line diamond bead
SS/14k Web Diamond bead

The funny part is that I don't even have an empty bracelet to put these on, so for now they are sitting on my toggle.... I'm odd in a way that I don't like wearing my bracelet until it's full or nearly full..... Now the best part.......

My DH just bought me the 14k Angel of Hope bead (to represent my mom who passed away a year ago) and the black onyx diamond bead....:love: The only sad news is that they are xmas presents...so I have to wait another 1 1/2 months for them.....Not sure I'll make it :sweatdrop:
