On my 1st bracelet mine was very stiff and round after 6 months and with 14 charms almost full, it loosen up completely all the way round consistently so that it was floppy didn't have any stiff parts. I think maybe because your bracelet isn't full its normal that its rekaxed in certain areas and not in others. With time it will loosen all the way round.

This is my creation today, decided to wear the butterfly dangly for a change it has been rather neglected of lately. I have no new charms to share with everyone I'm afraid can only recycle old beads and create new looks with what I've got.

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!

This is very true. The inside should always say 925 and ALE, With the markings being on the inside, they should not be worn though as nothing rubs that area. I am a bit sceptical.

Me either, no sign. I just have a feeling it isn't going to come. Do you know when you just have that feeling? Perlen said don't worry as it could take 14 days. It's going to be a week tomorrow and still no sign. : (

I am wondering how your creation is always so elagent , so shinning & clean! I love it! But how can you stop the clips moving on the bangle? I have a black rubber in side of the clip but it is moving still.

Have you tired the Connoisseurs Polishing cloth? That is really good but you hands ache after all the rubbing and polishing. I think some people use water and a little washing up liquid. They soak and use a soft tooth brush to scrub.

If you have no pearls on your bracelets you can always use mild dish detergent and a baby tooth brush to get your bracelets shiny. Rinse well after. Sometimes I have to take all the charms off the bracelets since the bracelets oxidize and it is hard to clean them off. And you have to remember not to wear your bracelets in the pool or ocean, the chemicals and salt will dull and pit them. Also, body lotions and perfumes can affect the silver.

Your stalking the postman too!!:D. I think perlen will be busy because they got some new valentine collection charms out and by the looks of it, they've been selling like hot cakes since a lot are of stock. It will get to you via snail :D

Is your black rubber C shaped? . Mine is, I have to adjust the rubber so that the gap on the rubber is facing the inside of the clip when i put it in Position on the bangle before I clip into place and that does do the trick the clip doesn't move. Where as if you clip the clip where the C rubber the open gap bit is facing you when you clip, you find it doesn't work as well. If you don't understand what I mean just tell me to post a pic so I can show it better :smile1:

Thanks for your suggestions and they are so helpful! I feel so warm to join here!
More questions: do you go to pandora store to clean your bracelet sometimes or you always clean by yourself?
