Hi guys!!

I've been browsing this thread, as well as the original and #2 for the past 2 days now as I'm completely hooked on Pandora.... even though I don't own a bracelet yet! After many months of admiring all the creations on this website and the official Pandora site, I'm excited to say I've made my wish list and will be getting the bracelet and some beads for my bday (1st Nov) !!

I can't wait to join you all on this exciting/somewhat expensive (but totally worth it) adventure(?) :p

See u all around ;)

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, Nelly!

:D:smile1:

Love that new pink lotus charm.....the purples and pinks, gold and silver all work so well together!

This Saturday I'm going into the city for a girls' weekend. Will have to buy a charm of course to remember the weekend by.....wonder which one I'll get?! I love that handbag with the pink stone. Or maybe the silver hoop earring with moonstones. Way too much choice! :graucho:

So nobody has the cotton lariat? I'd appreciate some input as if it easily falls apart then i wouldn't get one. Are there any reputable dealers on ebay anyone uses? Thanks.

Aprilshack, I have been wondering about those myself. I have seen a purple cord bracelet woven from 2 of these, with green beads woven in. It was very unusual and pretty.
Actually on the Gilletts Jewellers website they have a list and instructions on different things you can do with the cotton cords.
Where are you? I haven't seen any good Aussie ebay sellers at all who sell the cords, but then I haven't looked much lately.

Has anyone been on Gilletts' website lately? You can see some of the new fall beads. You have to go on each category but that's ok since they highlight the newest beads. The new murano beads are larger and there are silver swirl clips with either onyx, iolite or citrine stones. I love Santas sleigh!!! It is so adorable! Can't wait until they all come out! In "O" Magazine there's a Pandora advertisement where you can see the new bumpy wood bead. I hope that they have it in the muirapiranga color.
Can't wait, can't wait......:graucho:

Sure have, Issie, and that sleigh IS adorable, and the price looks good too. Have to have it for my first Pandora Christmas!;)

I'm in the uk.I think sellers outside the uk aren't allowed to ship outside their own country?

If the cords are sturdy, I'll get one.Then I have my eye on the pearl/champagne coloured leather bracelet, then a silver bracelet.I take it the ghost charm is from last year? If so will it be retired soon? When & how often do retirements & new announcements take place?

Sorry for all the questions but I want to learn as much as I can! If anyone can give tips on how to avoid fakes & any eBay & online sellers to avoid, it would be appreciated! :)
