Question for those of you who like more than one brand (I'm partial to both Pandora and Chamilia myself, but my bracelet and all but 1 charm is Pandora).

Anyway, do you mix charms on a single bracelet, or do you have dedicated bracelets for each of your favorite brands? I keep flip-flopping... I was going to mix, but am now leaning towards 2 separate bracelets. So indecisive, LOL.

I bought that Pandora storage box. It comes with 3 trays, one with little cubbies for individual charms, one with 3 square compartments w/pillows, and 1 with 3 or 4 long compartments. I love it, it's great for storing and designing your bracelet.

I mix all my charms on one bracelet (Pandora and Chamilia). I have a bracelet, necklace, and ring but I've wearing just my bracelet with my favorite beads on it (it got too heavy, so I took off about 5).

My mom is a mixer. She has 3 bracelets (and one coming on her birthday) and they all have a mix of Pandora and Chamilia.

Two of my bracelets have a mix and one is just Pandora. My tastes tend to run more on the Pandora side of things. There are some Chamilia beads that I like and have purchased (the robin's nest is super cute with the little pearls), but not very many. I love the Troll glass, but with the exception of the Breast Cancer and Haiti beads, they don't fit the Pandora base bracelet (which I prefer.)

I mix Pandora and Chamilia. I rather prefer the Chamilia murano glass beads over the Pandora ones. My pink & purple bracelet has 2 Pandora glass beads and 2 Chamilia beads and 2 faceted Alena Marie glass beads. There is only one other Pandora pink & purple bead that I might get.
My black and white bracelet has Chamilia beads. The Pandora glass beads that are black all appear to me to be more black and grey than they do black & white. So I just passed them by.
I do like the Pandora silver beads, but would not be above buying other brands if I really loved the bead. Like if I could find a great dragon - not a dinosaur parading as a dragon like the Pandora bead does.

It is funny, and true ;).

I only have Pandora beads, but I do love the Chamilia snowflake silver charm. It is too cute! Might have to get that one day....:cloud9:

Hey Nelly and all the other Aussie girls on here, I just noticed that Gilletts has the new beads. I really like the sleigh for Christmas, and the butterfly dangle that separates into 2 : one for yourself and one for your friend :flowers:

Nelly, I saw the start of your new bracelet on the picture thread: beautiful! That gold breast cancer bead with the pink stones really stands out!

jollywa-- There is a really cool dragon bead from Troll. I don't know if that one will fit Pandora, but it's worth a try. You could take your bracelet to the store and try it on.

After I saw Troll mentioned on here last night, I checked out their website. Lovely glass beads there, too. And, yes, I did see that dragon and fell in love with it.

I have yet to locate a store that sells Troll here in Edmonton, but I am heading to Seattle this weekend and will have my Pandora bracelet with me. If I can find a store there, I will take the bracelet in and try to see if the bead will fit.

I have read that they won't fit, but maybe there is an off-chance that it would. I looked at their bracelets, but I am not convinced that the lobster claw is as secure as the Pandora clasp.

Do you have Troll bracelet? Does it feel secure to you?

Has anyone else figured out what they want to buy when the September promotion is on? I made up my list today. It came to $320. I wish I were two people - it is enough to get two bracelets. But my store won't let me break the order into two. They said only one free bracelet per household. Now, to me, that is really not fair. I can think of lots of households with multiple Pandora collectors in them..... Sheez.

Jollywa Lobster claws are definitely just as secure as clasps in my opinion. I don't have a Troll Lobster claw, I actually have a Persona Lobster claw (which does have a built in magnetic safety chain so it is a little bit different) but the claw itself is very much the same. And in my opinion, I never worry about either the Pandora clasp or the Lobster claw being insecure.

I feel that all of the major companies produce reliable bracelets, although I don't have Chamilia so I can't speak for them.

Oh I LOVE the troll dragon! Please let us know if he fits. The troll SA said she would trade my pandora bracelet for a troll bracelet (but I still have to buy the clap) ..... But I don't think I want to trade .mm
