~*~ The PANDORA thread! ~*~

Yes I have read this too, it said something about "up to 20%" which sounds like an awful lot! I guess it will depend on the charm though and won't be 20% on everything.

I would hope they would be honest enough to only charge the higher prices on new stock.

My orginal post! "Hi ladies! I finally bought another silver bracelet and after playing around with the placement of the beads, I think I'm finally happy with the placement of the beads on the full one.

What happened was I had a brown, a pink, and a black leather bracelet, but because I'm constantly washing my hands, (I am a librarian so always handling books and shelves that are dusty), I became so paranoid of getting the leather wet, so I took off the beads I had on them and bought a silver one to move them to. ( I gave the black one to a friend of mine).

What I saw for myself and wanted to share was that the bracelet does indeed stretch out. Both are the 7.5 inch one; the stretched out one is one year old."

Reposted because I adjusted the size of the picture attachments and I went beyond the 30 minute window in trying to edit the other.

Hi all! I got my first pandora in Oct and I've been totally hooked ever since!
I was wondering if any of you have multiple leather bracelets and if you wear them together or just by themselves? I've been thinking of getting a red and pink leather bracelet and wanted to wear them together without the beads... TIA =)

Normamargot: Wow, so pretty =) I can't wait till my bracelet is as full as yours!

Hey Ladies
just a quick question regarding the two toned beads and if anyone has had any trouble with any gold bits falling off?

i actually thought about that when i bought my two toned seashell w/ gold starfish and i was a little scared, then i thought, 'naaah, they know what they're doing.'

I just read on the pandora facebook page about someones 14k heart falling off the wedding cake, and stones falling off beads... i am a little scared now ...

Hi there sugar.spice,
I've had my shell with 14K gold since about march 2010 and it's been fine. Love that charm so much, i think it's my favourite!
I actually have an issue with my SS/14K charm with the heart in the middle. See link http://www.mypandora.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=343
The issue is, there are 3 hearts, one is in the middle of its section, the other 2 are not. They are off-centre, if you know what I mean. Is this normal? It has always bothered me a bit.

Normamargot, Aprilshack and others.....LOVING the updated bracelets! Interesting about the stretching too. I have to get my act together and take pics of mine again.

Would of thought the issue with the wedding cake charm is it's position on top of the charm & how easy it would be to catch the little heart on something, rather than the quality of the workmanship.I think if you had that charm you would have to be extra careful in wearing the bracelet.

Can you take the charm back to the store & compare it with others in stock or possibly exchange it?

Unfortunately, it was a gift and I've had it about 8 months now. When I got it I looked at lots of bracelets on the picture thread and did notice that others looked a bit off-centre so I didn't worry about it for a while, but every now and then I wonder about it. Maybe I'm being too fussy, it's really not that noticeable.

does anyone know is it safe to wear pandora bracelets layered? does the murano class crack/smash if you do this or the silver/gold damage excessively .
i'd love to wear two together and layer them with other bracelets just worried it'll damaged them badly. please help!

My concern would be the charms scratching each other, i have heard of broken muranos. People do wear them layered & seem to not have problems though.I guess when wearing layered bracelets extra care should be taken.

Thank you for replying
i think i will probably not have any glass beads on mine and stick with 2 tone/gold beads (when i can afford the gold ones lol)
do you know if like with the i love you cube will the gold heart wear away? are these gold patterns likely to come off?
i know its probably a silly question
i love my pandora lol

I have two toned & they seem fine. The only problem i have heard is the problem a few posts back about the wedding cake.I think it would be quite easy to catch the gold heart & weaken or bend it if people don't take care of the bracelet or what they are doing. I have never heard of anyone with two tone beads with the gold falling off/flaking off.Go ahead & buy the two tone charm you are after.I'm sure it will be fine!

thank you i have a part done twotone bracelet at the moment and i'm wearing it with a tiffany heart tag charm bracelet in silver and this is why i worry about th damage and also was going to hopefully one day save up for a second pandora bracelet to wear with them
roughly how much is it likely to cost to complete a two tone bracelet do you think? i have no idea how many charms will fit, i know it will take ages but i dont mind its worth it

I would go on your country's pandora site & go on the bulid a bracelet option.You'll then see how much your ideal bracelet would cost.You can also save a little money & use some sellers off eBay some users on here purchase from.

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to Pandora and I gotta say quickly becoming a junkie. For Christmas my hubby bought me the SS bracelet w/barrel clasp and 9 Pandora beads and one non Pandora bead. Son bought me 3 Pandora charms younger son bought me 1 Pandora charm and Son's gf bought me one non Pandora charm (it's a dog charm that looks like my Shih Tzu) I love it and thrilled that I can once again have fun with Jewelry. I got the SS one due to my large collection of yellow gold and wanted to build my white gold/SS collection. I'm finding myself now wearing mostly the white medals. As soon as I can I will post pictures of my bracelet. There is no theme but rather beads that my hubby liked and knew I would like also. I'm already planning my second bracelet.
