Endymoon-I'm new here, but had to say that I just started my bracelet 2 weeks ago and bought the same bracelet and bead (along with 2 clips.) That bead was to celebrate a recent trip to Italy.

A Pandora store in opening at the mall near here. Othewise, I go to a jewelry store that sells Pandora. I too, love Camilla, and have a store nearby that sells only Camilla. I bought 2 beads there and IMO, they are prettier than the Pandora. Also I found a seller on Etsy and have purchased 4 beads from her.

Then.......(you knew there would be more..ha ha) I bought the black necklace and have been having so much fun with the various beads/clips on the necklace.

I'll try to take some pics tonight, although my camera isn't great with closeups (cellphone camera).

I would love it if we could get a bracelet maker that had both Pandora and Chamilia! I'm cutting and pasting my own pics for now - pathetic!

Bonnie925 - well it sounds like you have GREAT taste in jewelry! ;)

As for the silver charms, I definitely prefer the Chamilia ones. Well, for the most part - for ex I like the Pandora little girl better than the Chamilia one. But otherwise, I think Chamilia has a much better selection (more things that signify important memories for me, anyway). I'm kind of 50/50 on the gemstones and murano's. Although Chamilia has two blue ones that I like more than the Pandora one I got (Blue Ocean, and another very similar aqua one. Yes they are on my wishlist, LOL).

BagaholicAnon - thanks in advance for trying to take a pic! Can't get enough of those, LOL. I considered saving images and makeshifting my own bracelet maker in Photoshop. It seems the only solution for now. In the meantime, I've been using the Chamilia one and using substitutes (like the chamilia little girl, knowing that I'll be getting the Pandora one, etc.) Whatever works... :P

Alrighty then... so I've just ordered my next charm! This is such a dangerous habit! :oh:

My grandmother sent me some birthday money, so of course you know what it's going towards. ;) I ordered the Pandora Girl charm to signify my daughter, as well as my childhood memories (including, of course, memories of my Grandmother!). So far the bracelet and all my charms have been money given to me from people, but I'm trying to tie them in with the particular charm. This might get tough down the road, but starting out, it's great.

I definitely want two of the Pandora pink CZ tendril clips next, but I'm on hold for quite some time. No more big events until Christmas, and I already twisted DH's arm to get today's Chamilia Motherhood charm.

Not sure how I'll last, but oh well... LOL. Updated pic on the photo thread in a few days. ;)

OK, since my dilemma yesterday about getting a Silver bracelet or 2-tone bracelet, I went ahead and bought a silver bracelet from ebay from a trusted seller. It was $30 cheaper than in the shop so I'm happy! I said I would take things slowly with this one but so far, that's not happening. I am doing a lot of playing around with the bracelet builder. My two 14k lotus muranos are stil on layby and I'm sure they will be there a while longer. Its the whole money issue for me but its my borthday soon so hopefully I will get some money to play with.:balloon:

Sorry Endy, but the pics all came out too blurry, not worth posting. I just got my pink tendril clips in the mail today! They're really cute and totally worth it since they're keeping the beads from all rolling to one end. Keep scouring eBay, I got mine both for $65 (I think the retail is $90 for two)!

Oh well, that's ok - thanks for trying! :)

YAY on the pink tendril clips! I really have my eye on those. I've been wary of looking at eBay, etc for charms, because I have heard of how often they can be faked. It would be my luck to get a bad one, LOL. That's a great deal you got on yours tho - congrats and enjoy! :)

Nelly7 - Happy Birthday in advance. Yay on more money to play with soon, lol.

I just posted on the picture thread to say there's no stopping you now! You might think this will be it until Christmas, but trust me, you will NOT be able to last that long! :D

I've started putting a few pounds into a jar every few days so I won't notice them adding up, and then I can spend them on my next charm! Trouble is, I'm collecting Pandora AND Trollbeads (separately, on separate necklaces) and so I need to decide which necklace needs a new charm more! I'm too hooked - there's no WAY I could wait four months until Christmas! The obsession would drive me INSANE! :nuts:

Looking forward to seeing your next purchases anyway. I bet you get your clips very soon! :p

I was just being funny. Didn't realize it was from your grandma. I'm sure it will be fine in the box and they also polish up nicely.

LMAO, you're right... I'm hooked! COMPLETELY UTTERLY HOOKED! :nuts:

I had exchanged emails w/ the company I've bought the Pandora's from to see if they'd include the white pandora jewelry box (mine came in a little baggie w/ a cardboard pandora "bag") - she's been very nice and helpful, and said they only do it w/ orders over $200 (or w/ gold bracelets), but since I've been buying a lot (whoops! lol) she'd include it w/ my next order. So guess who just ordered the 2 tendril clips? :blushing:

Not sure how to explain that one to DH, other than I swear I will not utter the words Pandora or Chamilia until Christmas. I'm definitely DONE now. D.U.N. DONE! :p

There's nothing to worry about with either bracelet; especially the leather bracelet. Leather is a very strong and resistant material. :smile1:
