I would also love to know if anyone has any info on whether this promotion will be in the UK Does anyone know?

I asked pandora and they said there never is any promotion in uk ...wonder why ???

I have got a few new beads recently so i thought i'd post an updated picture of my pink & purple bracelet. The colours of the muranos didnt turn out too good but you get the general idea.

Firstly I got the pink oval lights which I love and brings more sparkle to my bracelet. I bought it on ebay with proceeds of stuff I sold.

Next on a trip to Dublin i got the four leaved clover and striped spacer (which is on my other bracelet). I discovered that the beads are much cheaper in Dublin than the UK - the clover was €22 which worked out at £18 and costs £25 in the UK and the spacer was €10.50 which worked out at £8.50 and would cost £15 in the UK so I saved £13.50!! We must be paying the dearest prices in the UK!

Lastly I bought the angel bead a few days ago in memory of my granny who passed away last week. It is a gorgeous bead and every time I look at it, it reminds me of her. Beside the angel is the flower forget me not spacer which I bought with money my granny gave me for my birthday in March this year.

At the shops in my area, the promotion runs Sept 16-18 or 17-19, depending on whether the store is open on Sindays. But they did say that it is not the same dates everywhere - just that it is supposed to be in September.

Too bad for those in the UK that you don't get the offer.

Jollywa.. our promo in Ottawa is the same, Sept 16-18th... I put a deposit on my gold clasp bracelet and will be picking it up on the 16th to get my free bracelet! I can't wait... I have been wanting to upgrade my ss bracelet for a while!

Congratulations, sparklemint! I am sure you will be happy with the gold clasp bracelet!

Thanks for all your comments on whether or not you mix charms! I keep going round in circles, LOL. When I first started looking at everything, I was more attracted to the Chamilia charms, and figured it'd be at least half-and-half... now I have a wishlist in mind and could just as easily achieve my meaningful bracelet w/ strictly Pandora.

Is it Christmas yet??? don't know if I can hold out much longer w/out any new charms, LOL. Seeing all the GORGEOUS bracelets / charms w/ the Pandora promotion going on, wow! So inspiring!

Hi! I've had my bracelet for 4 (I think) years now but never posted it.. it was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend with such a cute story behind it. I had been wearing a bracelet that I made with just beads from Hobby Lobby that had our initials on it (very grown up, right? lol) but it kept breaking.. I told him it was a bad omen that it broke so often (again, such a big girl here) so on Christmas when I opened this, it had the alphabet beads, the heart lock & key, and the 2 spacers around the letters. He said this one wouldn't break like my others had Since then we haven't added very much but what has been added means the world to me! It isn't very matchy and coordinated like some of the other beauties in here, but I love it just the same! I added one picture with flash and one without to try to get as much color correctness out of my camera as I could, but I'm not a great photographer so it still isn't quite right. So, in order of when they were added, my beads are:

-2 Champagne CZ Trinity spacers, GC and SW Triangle Alphabet beads, Key to My Heart Dangle (all on it when I got it)
-2 "S" Design clips
-Raindrop safety chain
-Purple and orange enamel flower beads (birthday)
-Double hearts dangle (another Christmas)
-Black/purple pearl dangle
-Clear Teal Flowers & Pink w/ Red Flowers Murano glass beads (newest additions for my birthday this month!)

Sorry if the pictures are big!!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking a while and got my first bracelet 7 weeks from my SO for my birthday along with 4 beads. Today's purchase brings the total to 8 beads, 2 muranos and 2 clips - YAY.

For someone who wasn't "all that" about pandora before I've quickly become addicted and LOVE wearing my bracelet.

Next weekend I'm getting the house bead, we had a devasting earthquake here in New Zealand last week and our house was ok, the bead will remind me how lucky we were.

welcome to the forum sandora , glad to hear that your house is ok. Yes, Pandora is the addiction that keeps on giving... lol... if you ask me, there are worse things we could be doing

I really love your story and the meaningful-ness (even a word?! lol) of your bracelet!!! You have a great boyfriend there........and a gorgeous bracelet

I need opinion and suggestions:
posting two pics of my bracelet with different Muranos.
I am not a huge fan of Muranos and like them to really blend in.

I bought three white lotus 14K Muranos, but have decided to return them this week since on my mixed bracelet, you don't really see the gold enough to justify the cost ( would rather buy more gold or perhaps even the crown charm) .

I was playing with some white and golden yellow muranos. I thought the golden yellow would bring out my gold charms. I am not 100% sure what I think. I need everyone's expert opinion and suggestions. I am thinking of ditching the white and getting two more golden. I like the muranos to be somewhat symmetrical.

So what do you think?

Pic 1 is with the clear/gray heart Muranos I have worn for almost a year. ( ignore my leather bracelet in the way!)

Pic 2 is the latest creation with the white and golden muranos.

I do like layering my bracelets, so the leather will prob be worn with what ever version I decide.

Thanks so much! ~ Julie~

juliejewels, well both your bracelets are cute. But I maybe I prefer the first one
