Not been on here for ages as I found it too addictive seeing everyone's gorgeous bracelets and kept changing my mind n the design of my bracelets.

I have a full snake bracelet in silver and the silver bangle with 5 charms, I am happy with both of these, however I was lucky enough to receive another snake bracelet as a leaving gift. It may seem ungrateful, bit I decided to exchange it for the essence bracelet, however I'm having 2nd thoughts now and feel bad for changing it.

Any thoughts pleas? Should I keep, if I do it will only have 3 charms and 2 clips? Or shall I go for the essence?

Any one have the essence bracelet, any pictures please?

Well it's up to you really. Will the person who bought it be around you and be expecting you to be wearing it? The essence bracelet is very thin and the charms are quite a bit smaller.

The essence looks very nice on you. I agree will look amazing a few essence bracelets with few beads stacked I like that effect very edgy and modern :)

Are you happy to start another snake chain and add charms to it. Or are you satisfied with the full one and the bangle and not too fussed on starting another? I think essence looks lovely as the lady who post pics illustrates its a elegant simple with a pop of colour. I think go with your gut intinct with what you prefer:) im not much help sorry

I think if you're not going to use the other bracelet, or weren't planning on starting another then keep the essence. I had one, there's a photo on here somewhere, but I returned it because the clasp kept opening on its own.

I went to hong kong last year the muranoes are $200 hk dollar. I bought a few whilst on holiday enjoy shopping and the foods, I love the street food there. Plus highly recommend The Greenery dinner buffet at The Royal Garden 5* Hotel the evening buffet is approx $450 hk dollar is a bit pricey but definitely worth it plus have to book in advance. It has a dress code only smart wear.

My mom bought a pandora bracelet from our local second hand store for a very good price. It looks genuine to me. The band is really shiny. The inside of the lock looks oxidized( it isnt shiny..looks kinda tinted)and has 925 hallmarked. Some of the charms has the pandora on it like the murano glass ( i assume thats what it is called) and 925 hallmark. Since it wasnt bought directly from the store, of course i had some doubts and so i did a little research. It says on the sites ive seen that it should have the word ALE together with the 925 or it should even say s925.. But im thinking maybe the pandora before just have the 925 hallmark and maybe this is just a recent thing? But i notice the bracelet really looks like new. So do you think this is the real deal? Thanks so much!

It is probably authentic. Charms made before 2009 didn't have the S before the 925. The inside of the barrel clasp should be oxidised although I'm not sure if older bracelets had an oxidised interior. Does the "O" in the word Pandora on the barrel clasp have a crown above it? If it does then it was made after 2009. Sorry if I am repeating info others may have provided. I am catching up on the forum! And it might be shiny because the store polished it before selling. They can oxidize pretty quickly if out in the open.

Am traveling in march and have already checked out that they have pandora in those countries! Does anyone make it a point to purchase a charm in each country they visit?

Im definitely thinking of getting a travel charm as a great memory on my bracelet... :)

I do! I will try to buy something that is reminiscent of the location but sometimes I just buy them because they are so much cheaper than where I live, especially places like Grand Cayman Islands.

Hi after rereading your post I see that you say there are no ALE markings on the charms. That's is not good as others have mentioned. Sometimes a well worn bracelet can have the markings wear off but it would be uneven and both the 925 and ALE would wear down. Do you have a Pandora store near you that can authenticate for you? Bear in mind that some younger staff members have a habit of saying something is fake if it is old and they've never seen it before!
