I love that the clip is matching, means you can put as many or as little charms on it and only need the one clip! Money saving lol!

Oh Yeah :smile1: very clever seem such a simple idea too. Plus the bangle with the same clips as the clasp gives the appearance that bracelet has no end or beginning I think I'm going to steal your idea :smile1:
 
I wish I could dispute :( it's been too long. Once I'm able to private message I'll message you the seller's name. I contacted the seller and asked if I could return them. She said yes but I'm afraid to send them back since knowing my luck I wouldn't get a refund. She's been on Etsy since 2011 selling off what she says are the left overs from her family's closed jewelry store. However each season she's been getting in new charm styles.
I know I cancelled an order from someone selling on eBay who was "downsizing her collection to a couple of bracelets" and then found out she had been selling them for about 3 years, hundreds and hundreds of charms. I mean, I have a pretty amazing collection but come on, how many charms can one person have.
 
I have a few puffy heart charms and they don't flop over. They are one of my favourites, since I use them to say I heart hippos, I heart butterflies, I heart cruising. You get the idea. They have lots of importance on my bracelets plus they are adorable because they aren't barrel shaped or spherical which gets to me after a while; too much sameness in design can be boring sometimes.

I feel the same too sometimes having too many similar shaped beads or sameness all of the time can get a bit tiring, switching it to incorporate some unusual shapes animals, objects etc gives it more individuality. I can do both I tend to alternate it to fit the mood.
 
That is so mean!! Why rely on an 11 year old to do your job? And anyway, just because she got good grades doesn't necessarily translate into her being able to mentor some other kid. Did the school advise you that they were doing this! Kids can be so mean sometimes, my daughter was bullied in grade school (grade 6) because she was pretty!? By very unpretty, mean girls, mean in spirit and looks. One of them actually showed her a knife!! Very scary because kids that age have really no idea what the consequences of their actions are. What is even scarier, is that she didn't tell me for a while. What goes through kid's minds sometimes? I took her out of that school and sent her to another one immediately and it never happened again.

I feel your pain with what you went through. And i thought it was bad at my child's school. At my daughters old school the class sizes were 27+ mixed ability and the head thought it was good idea to do this mentoring scheme using brighter kids. It was suppose to be a win win situation for everyone the less able and naughty kids have help and a good role model figure. The teacher has little helpers to spread the load off them from having to stop and start lesson from kids who need help. And the mentor ie my daughter would gain in confidence because she would have to communicate use her interpersonal skills in order to tutor. It was a complete failure for all concerned brought the worst out of the bullies, my girl lost her confidence got sad and depressed and the teachers were dealing with more bullying and sad kids :shrugs:
 
OK so I snapped some pics of my lucky cat and chinese money bag...hopefully they're not too crappy and you guys and help me out with your expertise and let me know if they're authentic or not.

God I hope they are lol It's been a traumatic week pandora-wise :p:D

I have both charms. For Chinese money bag, from my observation , the side which has no stamp, up the Chinese character has 3 folds- the left one is the longest like yours; but the middle one is very short even is hard to see; the right one is much longer than the middle one.
