~*~ The PANDORA thread! ~*~

[kirbymax]

Hi, ladies. Well my birthday was last Friday. It was my 40th and I had a few beads on my wishlist. I'm so happy with what I got. I got the Dew Drops w/onyx & diamond (hubby), black wood bead, lucky clover/shamrock(dad), cupcake(2 best friends), witch, ghost, light blue swirl and candy stripe muranos(money from brother & wife and sister in laws). I am loving all me new beads and have been in a frenzy switching my bracelets around. I also saved some b'day money for when the Fall beads come out. I have quite the wishlist from that too. I will take pics soon and post all my new babies.

Sounds like you had quite the birthday haul!! You got some great beads. Twins on the witch since I just got her today. Now be honest, what was the first thing you noticed about her? She is kinda phallic right or do I just live in the gutter I do really love her though.

Hi Nin, good to have another Pandoraholic around here!
Can't wait to see pics of your bracelets....my silver with aqua and green muranos is nearly full too, and I started in February....

Issie and Using_Daddy's_$$, thanks for the website tips.....will definitely add them to my favourites! I can't believe how many bracelets Denmark Beads have in the Sample Ideas!

I knew you would enjoy the sample section!!!!

Hi Everyone!!

I just joined here! Well, I think I joined this website a few years back but then I was trying to be good and not spend more $$$ on purses so I stopped visiting and forgot my obsecure username and password , so I just joined again! But now that my Prada addiction is taking a back burner to my new PANDORA addiction, I was googling Pandora and saw this website and here I am!! So, hello and here is my Pandora story!

I saw a friend with a Pandora bracelet and fell in love. This May on Mother's Day we were off to Jared's and my hubby bought me a silver bracelet and some charms! Thus began my addiction. Now I have 2 bracelets, one necklace and about 16 charms and will have a few more by this weekend. I am also looking forward to the cupcake jewelry box promotion and Christmas, which means MORE CHARMS! I am greedy now!! It is all I can think about!! But, thankfully I am not alone here!!
I also got my BFF hooked so now we can buy for each other!!

Anyway, hi and thanks for having me!!

:welcome2:

I bought a champagne leather bracelet, the double style. I am not sure I like it. All the beads roll around to one place on the bracelet and weigh it down, so that one strand of the bracelet hangs way below the other. How do you keep the beads in one area? Will clips hold them in place without damaging the leather?

Try wearing a single bead on it the double leather, I prefer the dangle. The one bead flows on the 2 strands nice very chic and a nice simple look.

I can't wait.....Do you happen to know how long the bracelet is? It may make a lovely necklace as well

I have it knotted as a 7.9. Its def adjustable. And it def can be worn as a necklace prob with or without the toggle. More playing. I made a great creation for work today. I will post it soon. The toggle poly cord is FUN!!!

No problem! I bought black elastics to go with my black leather bracelet, works a treat and completely invisible - even when you look down the bracelet into the hole of the bead!

Can you post a pic for the hair elastic? TIA

Using_Daddy_$$ - I hope this works, but here's a couple of pics of the hair elastics I use. I've pictured some next to the bracelet so you can get an idea of size:

Hope this helps!

Here's my other bracelet!

 

[Aprilshack]

My pandora plain spacer i won on ebay just came.It has the hallmark & ale mark & the colour matches up with the bracelet, but can any tell me if the colour inside the spacer is meant to be shiny or say, like the inside of the bracelet clasp, that dull/blackish unpolished look?

nin26 - a gorgeous design!!!!!! how wonderful!~

Thank you!

 

[SydneyGirl]

Never mind Sydneygirl - I found it! That's a beautiful bracelet you have there!

Sorry Nin, have been out and about all day....glad you found it.Thanks for the compliment! I actually have added the aqua ribbon murano, the turquoise enamel butterfly bead (like yours), the butterfly bead that came out in May, and the leaves spacer since then, so I'll have to post the updated version. I only have room for one more bead, so I thought I'd wait and post when it's full. Was thinking of getting the new dangle butterfly and sharing half with my daughter. It's a great idea, don't you think?

LOVE your bracelet, and the hair elastic idea! I will definitely try it!

Ooo - that's a lovely idea! I haven't seen the new butterfly - is that one of the brand new beads? I might have to steal that idea from you for me and my daughter too!

 

[Issie]

nin26, Wow!! that is a gorgeous bracelet! You've inspired me to start another. That kangaroo bead is just too adorable!

 

[SydneyGirl]

Nin, I like the way you spaced your muranos. Mine are just wherever at the moment, haven't had time to make it all perfect since I bought the latest butterfly bead two weekends ago.

Check out the new butterfly bead here

Hope that link works. I want to try to wait until Christmas!

On your bracelet, is that the clear oval lights or the lime green one?
Also, Is the one on the top right hand side (above the green murano) also a snake?

Hope you read my other post again. I posted my reply first without seeing the pictures you posted, then when I checked my post I saw them, and had to edit straight away!
Again, Love your bracelet. Have to show my sister in law, who is doing one with green muranos.

I didn't notice it straight away.....but I did later!
She is still cute though!
A Halloween theme is a fun idea......we spent a year is the US back in 2001, and we did Halloween. It was just the best time! I still have a ceramic pumpkin tealight candle holder that I bought over there, and every October 31st we light it.
