I visited the store today - what a mistake! I'm totally hooked! SO said he'd buy me a gold bracelet for Christmas, but I can't wait that long!!! I decided to get a silver with gold clasp and a brown leather double loop (silver clasp), for now so I can start. The SA reminded me that you can have more than one bracelet - she's evil!!!

Congrats on your new bracelets!!

Honestly, I think the s/s bracelet with gold clasp is a smarter choice than the all gold bracelet. The gold bracelet is really overpriced (IMO), and depending on how full you want your bracelet, it may get all covered up by the beads anyway.

Just think how many more charms you can buy now with all the money you saved with the s/s with gold bracelet :p

I finally got my leather bracelet yesterday and it's just lovely:) Following on from the advice on here, I made a trip to B&Q I found some plumbers 'O' rings that make perfect "clips" (and you can hardly see them) now my beads stay up top and don't disappear, I'm happy happy happy!! xx

Hi all, I am a newbie to Pandora, but getting into it quickly. Me and my daughter are starting our collections together. Our first purchases were the single leather silver bracelets. I got brown and she got grey. My question is , are the charms supposed to get hooked onto the screw on part on both sides of the clasp? I have purposely tried to screw them on so they don't go anywhere, but they always end up unscrewing themselves. If I don't screw them on seems like they end up doing it on their own. It just seems like I am messing with it too much trying to adjust it. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Sorry this is so long, Thanks! Mary

I like the look of both the 2 tone and the all silver. I did just upgrade to the silver with the gold clasp, only because I got the 2 tone bracelet for 1/2 price, but I think the beauty of the bracelet is the charms one chooses not the bracelet itself.

I think it depends on what other jewelry you wear. For me the silver bracelet with gold clasp is the most versatile b/c my wedding rings are yellow gold and I wear a two tone (stainless steel/gold) watch, so the silver/gold Pandora bracelet ties in with them.

Hi and welcome. The charms are not supposed to stay on the screw on parts near the clasp. The charms slide freely on the leather bracelet. (Some people here found a solution of using rubber o-rings if you want to keep the charms in the center part of the bracelet. But other than that the charms are supposed to move freely on the bracelet.)

Hi Dalmunchkin, thanks for the reply! My charms are getting themselves stuck onto the clasp. Do you know if this happens to the non-leather bracelets too? It is very annoying! I read that rubber is bad for the charms so I don't want to use an o ring. Do you know how the clip beads work? Not sure if that is what they are called? Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I'm Janelle and I'm a Pandoraholic again.....

I haven't been wearing my Pandora for a couple of months - mainly becasue I let it get a bit old looking. So I took all the beads off and cleaned it and its sparkling new again - i just love it and can't believe I went so long without wearing it.

I am looking to change my muranos over to 14k ones (slowly as they are expensive) and I also want to add a couple of gold spacers to it. At the moment, I have a 2 tone bracelet (gold clip) and 2 s/s white dot muranos and one yellow flower murano. I'm still deabting whether to get the white mystic muranos or the purple lotus ones - they are gorgeous!!

I am very pleased with my latest creation.....
I added a basic jewelry making finding "O" ring to convert some of my Mix and Match earrings to charms. See below



I was playing around after I bought the silver adjustable chain. I seemed to be in a necklace mood after explaining all the necklace options to Sydneygirl . ;) See the necklace below.



The necklace has a mini version of the Pandora tag (like the one on the lobster clasp) and it's adjustable. I really am thrilled with the purchase.
I tried the "O" ring after I went to Michaels's crafts. I had to make a charm I was given bigger to fit the chain I want to wear it on. These "O" rings are terrific because there is no hardware needed it is made like a keychain ring. The package has a ton of them in it so if I stretch the "O" ring changing between the earring and pendant looks I have plenty. :D

I have a question for anyone (def Charmfan and DivaDivine) who have the enamel Ying Yang Bead:wondering
Does the white half of the bead still look white or has it turned yellowish? I have never had the jeweler clean it in the tumbler since it lives on my leather bracelet. Do you think if i had them clean it, it would get bright white again? Any thoughts would be helpful. thx
