~*~ The PANDORA thread! ~*~

[onegirlcreative]

my husband and daughter surprised me with the pandora black leather bracelet (i currently have the brown one) with the white rhinestone charm from my hubby (my birthstone is diamond/april), and the heart one from my daughter. sorry, i'm new to pandora so i don't know their names yet.

now i have two. love it!!!

Received the snowman charm off the mother in law, in two minds if I should change it, which she gave me the receipt for.

I got a chain charm from my daughter.

Opened my present from hubby, the double leather champagne bracelet with the silver tulip flower with aquamarine stone, although the aquamarine stone looks clear to me! Is this normal? Waiting for my dad so I can open my queen bee charm & my friend bought me a gift voucher for my local pandora store.

yes it's supposed to be very very pale. Aquamarine is my birthstone and it is almost clear with a very very pale hint of blue.

That's good to know, I think mine is totally clear!

if I think of it later I will take a pic of my aquamarine ring. It's not pandora but it's a nice size aquamarine stone that I got for my birthday a few years ago...I don't wear it a lot and I should, but it always starts to look cloudy if it's not cleaned all the time.

I got my first Pandora for christmas! My parents and sister got me a silver bracelet with the snowman charm, the sleigh charm, and the holly charm. However, the holly charm wont screw on to the bracelet! Has anyone ever had this issue? It seems as though the last thread on the inside is messed up. And I've changed my mind about having so many Christmas charms on my bracelet. Also, I want a two tone bracelet and the 2 silver wouldn't fit it as well so I'm returning those two for the two tone clutch charm!!! Hopefully I can return tomorrow but the DC metropolitan area is expecting 5+ inches of snow sooo it isn't likely!

Cool! I think it will go well with your bracelet. A symbol of the extra cold winter in Europe this year! Plus, you have the ghost, why not the snowman too?

I got the chain of hearts SS bead as a surprise. It is very sweet. Also a voucher, will get one or maybe 2 pandora rings! Very excited, have been researching which one to get! :xtree:

Lovely bracelets and beads everyone!

I got a few new beads and 2 Pandora Jewelry Storage Boxes! DH & daughter did not coordinate their gifts. No biggie though, one will go back and I'll pick up another bead.

congrats to all of you with these great holiday gifts of Pandora!! So lucky!

Quick question..is Elisa Ilana an authorized pandora retailer? do any of you shop there online? my husband tried to surprise me and ordered me too holiday beads from there but the packaging is so awful, it made me question the authenticity of the beads. I think I hurt his feelings because I was searching online for pics to compare the beads. I got the sled and christmas tree. The christmas tree feels very light, is it because it's two-tone?

Anyhow, I hope to get over to the mall this week and look for some new pandora for my bracelet. I'm hoping there won't be lines anymore since the holidays are over.

They are very legit! Have ordered from them before w/o any problem.

wonderful, thanks!
just wished they used the pandora packaging. my beads came on a twist tie around their business cards. totally threw me off.

 

[Izzy's Mom]

^^ Most retailers don't use Pandora packing as it costs extra $$ from Pandora. In fact, it is more the exception than the rule!

Geez, they could have at least place the charms in some little plastic baggies. I can understand why they don't always hand out Pandora packages. I wore all of my charms/bracelet out of the store, so I didn't get any fancy packaging either. Still, I would think a retailer could do a little better than twist ties on business cards.

Thanks, yes it will be back, Using_Daddy's_$$. Just thought I'd change to a photo of my brother's mannequin, which we dress up every year for Christmas. She is a little creepy!!!!!
