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.:yahoo:

Thank you. I can't believe all the time I have been on the computer I have never found this great site. This place is a wealth of knowledge and I'm so excited to compare notes and learning about the different ways this bracelet can be put together. I may even need to ask for a couple more arms to help with this addiction....LOL

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!:smile1:

Safe to wear together :yes:! In fact, that's the Pandora hallmark look. The more the merrier! I love the sound of my charms clicking around...:nuts: I have chipped a Murano, but I can't say it's from wearing 2 together, I probably hit something around the car. Pandora replaced it. I now have a tiny little ding in another which I haven't gone in about yet. I'm wearing 2 right now. My gold/silver and pink. Love it!

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 ... :shocked:

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I noticed a lot of the folks on Facebook are also posting about showering in their bracelets. These folks probably wear the bracelets all the time no matter what they are doing. Anyone who is knowledgeable about jewelry knows that there are times when you should take it off. These people were probably pretty rough on their bracelets.

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!:D
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. :graucho:

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.:smile1:

From what I understand, the beads are handcrafted, so I would imagine there is some minor variations in each bead.

Thought they may have been some older release since i have only been into Pandora since September last year, but still, have never seen them on official retailer sites, just ebay.

If you like that style of bead, I think you would be better off just erring on the side of caution and getting them from Chamilia. That way, you don't run the risk of buying fake Pandora.

How do you know if Murano glass beads are fake if they are marked "Pandora Ale 925" Is there a place to see older beads? Is there a list somewhere as to who is trusted on ebay?

Best thing to do if buying on ebay is to take a good look on a sellers feedback, see if they have sold Pandora before & see what the comments are from the buyers. Ask to see some more photos if you can.If the price is dirt cheap for a but it now item, approach with caution. There is a couple of oz buyers some members swear by.Maybe we can have a sticky of trusted sellers on ebay for pandora?
