This forum is such a bad enabler! Looking at all your creations makes me want to create my own bracelet!
The beads will sometimes work themselves onto the threads near the clasp if the bracelet is not full - regardless of whether the bracelet is leather or silver. I don't have a leather, but I have two silver bracelets, and I have screwed my safety chain onto the end threads to cover them up and prevent the beads from getting stuck on them (they still twist themselves onto the threads on the bracelet I have without the safety chain). I personally have not gotten a leather bracelet because you cannot wear them full, and the constant movement of the beads would drive me insane!
FYI - the clips will not stay in place on a leather bracelet, as they need to fasten over threads (which are on the silver and gold bracelets) to stay in place.
Hope this makes sense and helps!
This is still my current bracelet that I wear now and I'd like to try some 14k muranos on it but they are so much $$$$$
I love looking at everyone's creations on here. Does anyone know if someone has made a 2 tone bracelet with the purple lotus muranos? I'd love to see it.
Absolutely lovely bracelet!
Hi, yes they will do the same thing on the silver or gold bracelets. Personally, this drives me nuts, so what I do is use two extra clips, one on each side of the clasp. (not on the threaded part, just on the chain next to it). Since the clip can't move over the threaded part, it prevents beads from getting stuck near the clasp. (The clips are designed to go over the little threaded parts in the middle to separate the bracelet into 3 sections, but they can also just be put on the chain and they will move but won't go over the threaded parts.) Others use a safety chain and put it up over the threaded part. I tried a safety chain and hated it because it kept twisting around, so I ended up returning it and just using the clips. (this wouldn't work for the leather bracelet obviously!) Hope this helps!
Your bracelet posted on the next page is so pretty! Personally, for the 14k Muranos, I would go for the white ones b/c they are so versatile and it would also be easy to transition if you are only going to buy one at a time! I have a bracelet with 4 of the Pink Mystic muranos and I love them. If I bought any more of the 14k Muranos i would go with white. (but the purple ones are very pretty too so you couldn't go wrong either way!)
Using_Daddy's$$ your creations are stunning as always!
I haven't been on in a bit and am wondering has anyone gotten the crown? I am waiting for one to come in for me.
The crown is a gorgeous bead, did yours end up coming in?
I picked up a silver Girl bead, Rose Bouquet w/14kt, and the silver Infinity bead w/14kt and blue topaz so far. Hawaii is finally opening its own Pandora store August 8, and they are having a special gift with purchase on that day that's only available at these grand openings. I don't even know if it's a bead, but I figure I'll check it out and get some more beads then!
Does anyone know if the gold heart clip #30346 is the same as #75243?

Thanks for all the replies! I guess I am going to have to get a silver bracelet. I really like the leather one though. I also already got a few of those cheap 15$ fabric cords. I dont like to wear them as a necklace but it looks cute when you wrap it around three times and wear it as a bracelet. I might also get one of those new leather necklaces, I saw where they had it as a lariet style also. The turquoise color looks really pretty if I could get the right theme going with it. This is so much fun! I guess the main part is that there is so much you can do with these. Definately the funnest jewelry I have every owened!
I have to say that it has yellowed a bit, but like you; I have not had it cleaned in the tumbler. I am going to ask the SA next time I visit the store and will let you know. What a good excuse to visit the Pandora store right?
OMG, my brother lives near there (it's a bit posh!), but I'll have to get over there ASAP!! Didn't think any jewellers here had Pandora sales, but then I am fairly new to it, so what would I know!
Thanks for the tip, belle197 !
Thanks dalmunchkin & VickelyBickely glad you liked my bracelet.
I'm so tempted to start a 2 tone & pink bracelet soon. I'm now tempted by the pink lotus muranos - they look beautiful in pictures so I might have to go into the local store to see what they have.
Mmm, so many decisions.....
Just a quick question - do any other Aussies know if they have the cleaning tumblers here in stores to clean your pandora or is that just in the US?

I just went into a Pandora store - couldn't help myself today and purchased some retired beads: Hezagon spacer, s/silver Church, s/silver Dice and 2 silver beads with brown cz. I'm not sure what my next bracelet is going to be now although I am totally in love with the Gold lotus Muranos. As a bonus for my spend up, I was given a Pandora candle - never seen one of those before - smells divine.....
Those beads are great, well done, I only usually get one or 2 at a time. When I am buying one for a friend's birthday, I also get one for myself. Does anyone else do this....?
