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

Thank you missydora! I think I understand what you mean and I tried few clips, some are working,but one like pink heart pavé clip moves a lot may be because it is too lose?

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?

If they don't charge me I will take them into the store but they will only clean what I'm wearing.

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.

WOW! I love your bracelet. Its so fresh looking and a really great design. I have been thinking of doing a 2 tone and yours is so inspiring. Thanks for posting this.

I took a few close up pics of my new bead that I am in love with, the Mr. and Mrs. that my husband bought be for V day. I love it but its too bad you can't really have 2 of these beads. Would be kinda funny lol

I am trying to decide if I want to do a more blinged out bracelet or if I want to start a 2 tone. I only have 4 two tones; the bear, the I love you with heart, the oopsy daisy and the elemental flow clip with swirls. I don't really like a lot of the 2 tones by themselves, but I love the look of a full bracelet of them. What do you guys think? Should I do a 2 tone and maybe put some beads I am not fond of? Or should I do a sparkly one with paves and gems etc.?


Here is my collection so far;

Your stalking the postman too!!. 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

Makes sense! I'm just waaay too impatient lol I'm putting together a bracelet representing my daughter and I want my package noooow hehe!

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.

This is some great advice! I'll try cleaning my bracelets like this...hopefully this will get my charms all looking the same. You can see a difference between the older ones and the new ones and it's been bugging me

That is how I clean mine, as well as polishing them with a cloth. Mine are all shiny and looking new!

Why? I am in Montréal and we can clean them at store anytime we want. May be the policy is different?

I'm looking to buy the camera charm or the luggage charm while on holiday as a memory keepsake... and yes the prices in HK / Taiwan are supposed to be cheaper then in Singapore!

Try getting the airline travel exclusive luggage charm! However, if I'm not wrong, its only available for purchase on certain airlines, which makes it even more special. SQ is one of them! if you're travelling via SQ, you can probably get one

The small store closest to me wants to charge $6 to clean each bracelet! They nickel and dime you for everything. You could buy 400.00 worth of charms and still ask for $5.00 for a cleaning cloth. Others just throw one in. The concept stores clean for free but they aren't close to me and I don't want to be schlepping around 12K worth of bracelets, so they clean what I'm wearing.

Do you have a picture of this charm? I love travel charms, I have the ship, the plane, suitcase, camera, palm tree, pineapple, etc. What is SQ? Is it an airline?
