Hi! I just recently bought my pandora bracelet and I have a question. Do you open the clasp with your nails or something else? I've been opening it with my nails and it really damages my nails. :/ I know they have a clasp opener but I don't really feel like its worth the money. Thanks!

It's either your nails or the clasp opener I'm afraid! I think the clasp opener is really cute.
I use a guitar pic now to open my pandora got that fab tip off Blackstar on here and it works a treat thank you again Blackstar!
got that fab tip off Blackstar on here and it works a treat thank you again Blackstar!Hi, I need you ladies advice - I want to buy a leather bracelet for myself & cannot decide which style, single or double & what colour. What do you recommend? Also do men wear the leather bracelets - if so which style & colour?
Both single & double styles are nice, I have a double in champagne & plan on a single one, probably red. The problem most people have are the charms sliding around, Which can be annoying.I use a small, clear hair elastic to keep my charm in place.Others use a plastic "o" ring either side of the charms to keep them in place.Yes, men can wear the leather bracelets & the seem to buy the black ones most.

Here is a new addition to my collection, the toggle bracelet! It was a gift from my wonderful manager (and friend)...the hearts charm was mine already. I knotted it so it was close to the toggle so both could be seen at the same time. A clasp that pretty shouldn't go unseen
Action shot....
This one includes my newest addition...the '09 limited edition grapes bead with peridot dangle! LOOVE this one! The colors cheer me up with all this cold crappy snowy weather we've been having :-/
This one is my "mommy" bracelet. The charms from the Doggie to the left represent my daughter and the charms to the right of the Chimps is in regards to my son. This one is particularly special to me since its all about my babies
Family shot. There are some others in this pic I didn't take singular pics of like my gray leather bracelet, my leather lariat, my silver necklace with pink enamel heart dangle and my 3 stack rings...Thanks for letting me share!
Beautiful collection Divadivine682..
I have the toggle bracelet as well which I usually wear with 3-5 beads, knotted at both ends like yours. I've only worn it a couple of times and turned into a toggle necklace instead because it always ends up at the bottom of my wrist from the weight of the beads. Any suggestions?
Hi Ladies 
Once again I need your expert help!
As you know, I'm considering buying a gold Pandora bracelet. I had a 7.5 inch 2 toned which used to fit perfectly when full, but I found it stretched from the weight of the beads, so I've recently replaced it with a 7.1 inch bracelet. The 7.1 is a little snug on my wrist when full, but I'm hoping it will stretch and become perfect...
My question (after a very long blurb...lol)... Does anyone know if the gold bracelets stretch the same way? If it does stretch, I'll be stuck with it.... the are not inexpensive....and I'm selling off a 2 toned complete bracelet for this so I want to make sure that I'm making the right decision.

Whether the bracelet is, gold or silver, it will stretch over time.All those charms carry a bit of weight to them! 14k gold is softer than 9k (higher the k, the softer it is) or less durable than silver.You may be right in getting a slightly smaller bracelet, but perhaps wear it less often & have a sliver or leather one with a few charms for everyday?
I use a guitar pic now to open my pandora
Great idea!! Thank you GretaCOakes and Blackstar! I have plenty of guitar pics around since my bro-in-law is a guitar player, ha! I've been using the cap from a bottle of water, lol. I am a newbie to Pandora, so I didn't realize they had a tool for this, I'll have to check it out as well.
I don't have a leather one (I just got my first Pandora bracelet in silver yay!), but I have been eyeballing the double in champagne! I think it's pretty and even think it would be just fine without any charms....although I'd probably put a few on there, lol.
Have fun getting your bracelet!
I got the single black leather one and I really love it. The only bead I have on there now is the orange zen charm. I really love the contrast between the orange and the black.

thank u! My toggle actually stays on top of my wrist due to it fitting rather snug...not too tight but snug. I think its because of the knot on either side of the bead cuz before i did that, it moved very freely...Also it started with doubling it twice (to give 4 strands)...was yours like that when u did the bracelet?
I have the leather lariat, do you think the toggle would work on that or would it not knot as well due to it being thicker?
My first Pandora, I'm hooked! At first I thought I would just want one bracelet, take my time filling the bracelet up, receiving them as gifts or purchasing to commemorate certain occasions or vacations etc. But now I could easily see myself having several bracelets and other Pandora non charm jewelry and just buying them whenever I have the extra money for it!!
My DH bought me, as one of my birthday gifts at the beginning of December, the silver bracelet, Queen Bee, Primrose Path, Octopus, and 2 clips:
My DSIL gave me for Christmas: Happy Little Bird and Treasure:

I had a little extra money given to me for Christmas so I purchased on the behalf of my Dad Ocean Wave Clear CZ, and on the behalf of my Mom Cupcake, so here is my bracelet with all of the charms I have right now:
