Don't they advertise the promotions in the UK? The Pandora site here in Canada doesn't so I have to rely on emails from jewelry stores telling me about them. I put myself on all the lists for emails. Canada and the US seem to have different dates for their promotions so last year I went to 2 stores here in Ontario then to 2 in Florida the next week.


Oh shoot, I had no idea that they didn't send notifications in Canada. I will look for other stores to see if they have email list.
 
It's much cheaper if you scout around and look on website and buy in sales than to pay full price. The half price Pandora sale is on in the UK and there are still some good charms left on some of the websites.
Do they sell outside of the UK? I am having a hard time finding some retired charms and I resorted to buying a couple on eBay and I think I ended up with fakes, so I don't want to do that anymore. There are some US websites that may ship internationally but I know Pandora is very strict about rules. I don't know if some stores sell on eBay or other internet sites to bypass that rule.


The stores near me tell me that Pandora instructs them to return all the retired beads. There is only one or two stores that ignore them and I have picked up some good finds with them. If they ask for them back I wonder what they do with them. There is one store here in Canada called Charm Junction based in BC that ships and they have quite a few retired charms but not the ones I am after.
 
I haven't contributed in a while and in such a short time the posts have almost doubled in this new thread - I just can't keep up ! I have a quick question for you ladies and few gentlemen - I will be in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in February are there any beads exclusive to those locations?
 
⬆oops I forgot to add that I TOTALLY have bought a number of charms °just° because they were about to retire and I might "need" it someday in the future and won't be able to get it! LOL!

e.g. I Bought BOTH retired grape dangle charms because my bf and I were planning on going to wine country. But we didn't. Then we broke up. Now I have a very expensive set of grapes lol

If it makes you feel any better you are not alone I bought the Up Up and Away hot air balloon charm in November with the expectation to go on a hot air ballon ride with my husband this coming March. I am not sure how long it will be readily available as it is from the summer 2013 collection and I do not want to search and pay a mark up when I want it.

No, but the camel would be a nice one to get :smile1:

Thank you - this is exactly what I'm talking about! I do think the air balloon is SO cute, that entire summer collection actually :cool:

So, at current, are you wearing the balloon on your bracelet, or are you saving it for after your hot air balloon ride?

Nope not wearing it - silly I know. First, I'm waiting for the experience, then I currently have no room for it on my bracelet. I just reworked my regular bracelet to a specific look and am concentrating on my two tone. In March I will either rework it again or get another one as I already have a few charms just sitting in the Stackers box.
 
Going to pandora today to get two clips for my new bracelet and I think the wise owl charm!! I'm very excited!

I also have set myself a goal of loosing ten more pounds (I already lost 40 this summer) and when I loose ten more
I am going to get the "light as a feather cz" charm!

Does anyone have the wise owl? I can't wait to see it in person.

Also, is there any promotions going on? Is the free bracelet if you spend 100$ still happening?

Here is a picture of my current bracelet, the wise owl charm and the clips I want!

I've never seen/ heard of the camel charm before - I haven't explored the animal collection really. What I'm looking for is a specifically designed by Pandora for the region charm... There are so many charms to which I can attribute personal meaning I want it to already represent what I'm looking for. For example with the camel charm, I rode camels in Israel back in 2004 and I'm not sure I will get to do that in Dubai bc my husband is not too fond of the idea.

I know specific to "region"/"location" charms exist - I got an Aruba Murano bead when I was there this Thanksgiving. Does anyone else have /seen/ heard of these ?

Here is my Aruba charm - it is actually stamped as such
