That is lucky to be able to return the beads that you have grown less fond of. I really wish there was a Pandora trade-in program. My tastes have changed dramatically in Pandora since I started collecting 6 years ago. I have a whole box full that need to be listed on ebay, but I am so tired of the auction site that I don't even want to go there.

Thank you, givemegold for your very thoughtful reply.

Perfect answer that has inspired me! I have been trying to allocate my $150 for the Sept promo, and looks like the Love Doves are on the top of my list.

givemegold, we've got a really great rapport w/our jeweler. Thank heavens! I'm so neurotic and have to LOVE what I'm looking at on my wrist. Even before I purchase a bead I give it a lot of thought, especially if it's gold. So $$$ that you don't ever want to be stuck.
They knew two days later I wasn't keen on my leather set up and they told me to just hold off and they'd order my the gold crown and two Babbling Brook diamond clips. (They took FOREVER to arrive, since May?!) So I didn't feel weird about it but made DH drop off the one I was exchanging anyway so they'd have it at the store.

The crown on my completed gold:

Since my bracelet is complete so I had to remove a bead. :( The "Gilded Cage" is gone for now but I'm going to try to rework things so I can add it back.

I also got the diamond clips and will one day obtain 5 white and gold muranos so I can switch things around here and there.

I'll post better pics later... just took this now. :)

Here it is before I took off the "Gilded Cage" bead:

My completed two toned flower themed bracelet:

And silver... the silver rose is no longer there. I replaced it with a grey pearl dangle. With the dangles I kind of wanted it to alternate pearl, cz, black:

I know I've posted these before but cannot find them in the other enormous Pandora threads. :D

Also, though they are full the all the beads move and roll freely. I think my bracelets are 7.9 in size and I had to size up due to having 5 muranos on each.

Again, I'll take better pics and post them up in that other thread as well.

Gorgeous!!!!!

Mich,
I enjoy your pretty bracelet pictures, so much!!!! I did love the wood set on you....but totally get it how something has to "thrill you kill you". I have def stopped impluse bead shopping, I am a thinker/plotting type of collector now.

Wow.. those gold and two toned bracelets are to die for!! Amazing!

Question for you seasoned collectors... I only have a sterling bracelet and am really wanting to upgrade to the 14k clasp... is it worth it, or should I just add a solid gold charm to my two tone themed bracelet?

Thanks!

Oooh, Sparklemint - love the picture of Eric mmmmm....

I agree Michelementals bracelets are to die for - if only I had spare cash to spend on my addiction - as it is, I have to sneak beads onto my bracelets!

I have a 2-tone bracelet and love it. I have just started a silver bracelet second time around and this time, I am going to add some gold beads to it so that it looks 2-toned. For the saving I made on the bracelet, I am making up for in gold beads. Everyone's bracelets are individual so do whatever you feel is right for you.

Go for that gold clasp Sparklemint! I just bought mine on Ebay and saved $60. I feel like it was a good investment. I have gold and silver beads with some accents in gold spacers. It's filled up, and I may move off some charms to other bracelets when I get additional gold in the future.

Thanks Nelly... isn't Eric dreamy?! Can't wait for the season finale!

I think I already have my mind made up but I always like to ask opinions. I have been dreaming of the 14k clasp bracelet for a couple of months now... I don't think I could be satisfied until I get it... so the bracelet it is!
Now I just have to save for it... :)

One more question.. I know the beads have names.. but the books don't list them.. is their a site I can go to see the beads by name. You all refer to their names and I get confused lol... thanks!
