Sometimes I do feel like I should have grabbed the bargains when I could have this is the not sensible side taking over??? When I was on the site there was the boy, girl, angel all goldies, rhodolite gold open work plus the onyx gold open works, rhodolite& gold spacers that was still in stock. I think I should have got the rhodolite open works and 2 rhodolite&gold spacer. Along with my 2 gold clips they would have looked nice Oh well next time if ever the opportunity comes definatley go and get them Should have listen to the hubby

Lol, I never saw that smilie before! See? Sometimes husbands ARE right

Pandorarose here's a pic of my safety chain in action it tends to stay in this position for me if my bracelet is full but not when there's room for the screw bit of the safety chain to manovere ie: when bracelet is half and below full that's when the chain will for me twist around the bracelet.

I love how you coordinated your clothes and the bracelet!

So happy I've exchanged my pandora bracelet for a 17cm. Perfect fit. Thanks again to all the ladies who helped me make this decision. Xxx

Looking good! Glad you are happy.

Hi guys. I am now Pandora obsessed! However, money being tight, I bought on E bay. I was wondering if I could pick your brains? I bought a butterfly friends forever charm as did my mate, both via e bay. However, our charms look slightly different. Mine is slightly greyer / more tarnished with slightly deeper grooves than hers. Mine is also stamped S925 ALE whilst hers is stamped 925 ALE & the thickness of letters is different. Hers is also stamped v close to the hoop link to the butterfly. Now I know that S is used post 2001 so when was this edition released? am trying to figure out if hers or either is a fake!

I would say the clue is in the stamp. The butterfly charm has not been around for many years. Definitely not before 2001 therefore these charms should have the 's' before the 925.

No I'm being a good girl we treating family and friends to lobster/seafood meal at restaurant.

I know what you mean! I would love a charm but money is tight!

Ha ha that smilie looks like my hubby is some wife beater??? Not sure it was befitting to what I was trying to say. in real life my hubby is the joker of the house, doesn't take anything too seriously. He's so laid back he's horizontal

I see. I just checked my charms and they are all stamped s925. But mind you I only started Pandora 2 years ago. It could well be different stamping at different times of Pandora, and both your charms are genuine.

The one my friend have me doesn't have an S in front of the 925 ALE though... And the charm looks different.

Are there fakes that now put 925 ALE on them?

Yes, most fakes have the hallmark. I'm pretty sure this charm should have S925 ALE, it wasn't around when 925 ALE was used.

Tabitha I've taken these pics to illustrate how my snake chain bracelet hangs on my wrist compared to my bangle they both have 14 charms the only difference is the bangle has a safety chain but really wouldn't make a difference on the snake chain if it was on with how it would hang on my wrist. Can you see what I mean it doesn't hang like it would on other ladies.

 

[Missydora]

This is how they look side by side the purple one is the bangle dont you think rounder one looks better on me?

 

[Missydora]

They are both 17cm by the way. Sorry ladies I know you've seen enough of my wrist now!

Honestly, they both look fine to me. The bracelet looks about right even though it hangs further down a bit compared to the bangle one. But they are your size I will say. And you should wear them from time to time instead of letting your snake chain sleep and cry in your jewelry box

Maybe I'm paranoid on rare occasions I do still wear the snake chain with just 2 clips and a murano stacked with other bracelets. The other girls in my office who have snake chain it looks really nice on them it looks different from mine. Mines lopsided and goes triangular. I'm paranoid!!

Your bracelet looks fine to me. It could be that since you have taken a few charms of the bracelet to put on your bangle, the charms pull the bracelet down in certain sections. It could be the weight of the charms too. Maybe some are heavier than others and therefore making it fall in a certain way.


Here is a pic of mine full.
