I feel so guilty-my DH bought me my 1st pandora bracelet for x-mas -he got me 2 clips,a red w/pink hearts murano,and the dog bead-which was bittersweet as we just put our labrador of 13 yrs to sleep a week before xmas.anyway,I had just planned to have dh,kids and family fill it for holidays and bdays and such,to make it memorable..well I have bought a cupcake and perfume bottle beads in one day and have much more that Im watching,LOL..I was not expecting to be this addicted to charmsanybody else feel this way or am I the only one.lol

hannahheather71 and charmedbybeads......I know I feel guilty too as I haven't been much of a jewellery person until February 2010 when I got the Pandora bug! The people in my family think I am nuts! My plan was to wait for birthdays, etc, too to fill it up, but you get home from work, do the same old boring things, you finally get to sit down and relax and before you know it you are planning your next bead/ ring/ earring purchase! It makes life a bit more fun. Plus, I don't drink, smoke, buy expensive makeup, etc.....I only have a clothing and pandora habit! OK, also shoes.......and accessories.

Sorry Aprilshack I mistakenly thought that the charms were yours. Armcandyluvr I love the charms. I have been looking at both of those for my bracelet. Enjoy

I think I need only 4 or 5 more to complete my 1st bracelet. I want.....

The suitcase
rings on the pillow
queen bee
the flowers with the I Love You.
dangle fuchsia heart

Jasp, love it, glad you succeeded with the photo! I still can't seem to get the clickable thumbnail to work, and can only get the jumbo sized pictures on. Oh well....
I have one of those red heart muranos, which I sometimes put on my leather bracelet. It's not available here in Australia, but I love it so much I found an Ebay seller here who gets them in all the different colours. We also don't have the summer swirl muranos.....I wonder why????

Thanks! The rings on the pillow charm is a tad smaller than I had imagined it, but it's still adorable. The tiny diamond (and I do mean tiny) is a nice touch.

I see you have the red version of the heart muranos. The red is so bright and cheery!

Hi I'm Jasp and I'm an addict...LOL no really I feel like I need a 12 step program. I'm trying to be really good and not buy anything for myself but I got a gift card so off to Pandora I went and bought the cupcake charm since my Hubby has always called me cupcake (he was with me). Now I'm watching the suitcase charm on ebay but I'm confused. One I see has Paris on it and then the other has DK with palm trees on it so I'm not sure if they are the same one or if one is a knock off or a remake. After this I swear I will be good.

I think the suitcase charm has Paris on one side and DK on the other.

A closeup of my new eye dangle and wedding rings charms and a pic of my bracelet over all. I couldn't capture it, but the blue enamel on the eye dangle has a very lovely shimmery, pearl-like quality.

It's gorgeous, I'm realling loving the look of purple, blue, silver and gold now....Too much choice, I think that's the problem here!!!

Here is a photograph of my newest beads and then my bracelet as it is at the moment

I am waiting for my safety chain to arrive and I NEED one more murano and a couple of other silver beads, then it is finished.

OMG! It's absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you. I'm so excited and I think it's great also. Hubby picked out almost all the charms so I think he did great. I wished they would make more dark red charms so I wouldn't have to repeat beads. I love seeing all the pictures of just how different all the bracelets can be. They are all beautiful and just adds to the addictions..

Great thanks for the info. I'm trying really hard to wait but it's not working out.

Hi, I've been lurking around and finally got the nerve to post. I'm in my mid forties, and just now discovered Pandora through, dare I say, my Mom. She bought a couple hundred dollars of charms and received a free bracelet. Well it sat in my jewelry box for almost a year and then voila a light bulb clicked that I needed to wear it. So for our anniversary my husband bought a gift certificate at a local boutique. Then Christmas rolled around and I received another gift certificate. I love my bracelet. My mom has completed one and is on her second one! Sorry for going on and on, but wanted to say hi, and tell everyone that I love their pics of their bracelets. One more thing, the owner of the boutique said the pricing is going up on January 31st.

I'm a pandora addict & have no desire to follow a 12 step program! lol! Buying Pandora is way too much fun, i even watch beads on ebay that i am interested in to see how much on average they go for & then plan what to get.

Well then I guess I better look into getting the clips and chain at least, for my 2nd bracelet, so as to save some moolah!
