~*~ The PANDORA thread! ~*~

Well.....I went yesterday (and put bday $$ to good use!!) and got my Pandora Bracelet!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!

I decided to pass on the leather bracelets. I had originally planned on getting a pink/grey leather "for now" and later silver/gold clasp for Xmas....(Man did that plan went out the window! LOL)..n maybe look at the oxi bracelet....

So I ck out the Oxi bracelet which was nice, but didn't go too well with my rings...Then I tried on the ALL silver bracelet....& MUCH to my surprise...OMG it REALLY went WELL with my gold channel set diamond anniv ring....WTH!?!? I mean the silver next to my ring...u didn't really notice the yellow gold in my ring cuz u mostly see diamonds, kwim? So the shine/sparkle from diamonds n shine/sparkle from silver bracelet....idk it just WORKED!!!! YES YES YES!!!

Sooooo.....I said (ya 4get silver/gold clasp for xmas...) just get ALL silver bracelet n get a few lil 2tone charms here/there (to tie in a bit of gold), also some all silver pieces, maybe 1 or 2 muranos, dangler charms, n some other fun colored charms -- & I shall be set!! (well eventually!)

So I'm REALLY happy!!!!! My bracelet isn't gonna be a theme, but more a "meaningful" type...so gonna have a lil of/mix of diff charms as to what "calls to me" or reminds me of something etc. I picked up 2 charms...the Piggy, and the Babushka!! I wanted to get 1 more...but figured I'd wait til July to see if the promotions happen...(4got to ask, too excited!) hehe.. and if so, THEN i'll go back for a $50 charm to get free lariat.

Oh btw...I ended up going w/ 7.1 size... U girls were right on!! Pandora Pros!! The 6.7 fit fine too..but SA and I both thought once charms all the way around was gonna be a bit too small? So ya right now it's a bit roomy but not enuff to fall off or anything..So I shall be set once I get more beads/charms! I just LOVE it!

WooHoo! Congrats on your first bracelet! It looks beautiful with your ring (nice big diamonds you've got there), and thanks for the GREAT pics!
I'm @ work so I better go now. Love the charms too!

Congrats on your first bracelet! Welcome to the obsession .... Great choices!!... Looks really fab with your ring.....

 

[MariellaKatz]

Ok well i'm getting one of the Pandora bracelets! I don't even have it and i'm already completely obsessed about it.

 

[LVCRAZED]

Hi girls - just wanted to show you my bracelet so far - still have a ways to go, but the good news is that the Canada Post strike is over and I am hoping to have my new beads soon, plus my trip to NYC is now only 2 weeks away.

I also have a question - how does the size look to you guys? This is the 6.7 and sometimes I still wonder if it's too big? I assume with more beads and muranos it will be better? Does it look too long to you guys?

I also have to get some 2 tone beads so it will look better with my rings.

Just curious what wrist you guys wear your bracelet on? Mine actually fit a bit better on my right wrist but I had to switch it to my left, and had to then switch my watch to my right hand so it all feels very weird now until I get used to it. I am at a computer all day and using a mouse, and the Pandora bracelet would have gotten in the way of that, and I'm afraid the bracelet rubbing on the desk all day eventually would have gotten damaged!!

(I thought I had seen your bracelet a few pgs back...and...had to go find..)
OOo, your bracelet looks very pretty on u!!!!!! I'm thinking a couple 2tone charms to fit in w/my gold ring....so yep, that's the plan! Already got a few in mind too! HA!

I'm a MAJOR lefty...so I wear mine on my right hand...that way it doesn't interfere w/ my "leftiness"....! Ya...I'm on the comp a lot too..(all day even)..so for me ..HAS to be on my right wrist...or else I think it would make me crazy....

Mine catches my hair too and pinches! I just put up with it though because I love my bracelet LOL I was beginning to think I was just hairy or something because I haven't seen anyone else complain about that yet!

Well I'm just glad to know it's not just me!! My DH just got home with a guitar pick and that worked to get the bracelet open quite nicely. OK I'll see if Incan get used to the hair thing too!!

Yep girls, I've noticed the hair pulling also, ouchy! But ya I just shake my arm a bit n it's ok....LOL so yep I'm "trying to get used to the hair thing too!" HAHA! (funny too cuz the lil hairs r so fine, yet they get tugged...)

Congrats on your bracelet!! We are both starting at the same time! Yours is gorgeous, enjoy!!!

TY so much!!!!!! ...sweet, TY!! Yay both at the same time! Congrats n Enjoy as well!!! Cool! Your Murano Glass beads look great!! LOVE!

Congrats on your first bracelet! Welcome to the obsession .... Great choices!!... Looks really fab with your ring.....

Thank U so much!! OMG I AM soooo obsessed already n HAHA it's umm...SCARY!!! eek!! Thanks on my charm picks! I love those lil things! Keep staring them down like a giddy sch girl! LOL!! Aww Thanks (re: going w my ring)....PHEW....nice to hear from others cuz I was so back/forth unsure of my gold ring with silver bracelet...but once I tried on in the store...was pleasantly surprised how well it wk'd! SO YAY!!

Love it! That amethyst dangle in the middle is a really good size, good value for $$. I think I'm doing a purple theme next!
I wasn't much of a bracelet wearer before and the feel of mine moving down onto my hand bothered me a bit at first, but then I got used to it, especially after adding more charms. Which clips are you thinking of getting (if any)?
I'm right handed, so I can't wear anything on that one. I just wear my bracelet on my left hand with my pandora watch, with the black leather band that wraps around...this one:

I didn't pay that much for it, by the way, got from the UK site Mememe, which was fabulous and much cheaper!
I got it especially so that my bracelets don't rub against anything else too much (my old watch was all metal)

I was like that too, before I got my first Pandora. But then frustration set in because I couldn't get all the charms etc I wanted IMMEDIATELY and had to wait cos they cost so much!

When you see all the lovely bracelets on here you wish you could have it all NOW!

Regarding the hair issue, I shaved my arms for my wedding (in 1999) and regrowth was fine. Not done it since though. I feel the occasional pull from my bracelet but figured with time it will pull all the offending hairs out and I won't have the problem any more ...
