Your collection is simply gorgeous.xHappy New Year lovely ladies!
I was away and stayed off all things electronic for a much needed break, and the thread just bombed along in the past couple of weeks! And here we are 30 pages deep into a brand new one for 2014! Needless to say, I have a lot of catching up to do and am just loving all your recent additions and bracelets. I guess Santa (and the sales) have been good to many.
As for me, I lucked out and got the gold circles spacers in the sale which I am loving on my oxy bracelet. I was naughty and also got two gold charms in Duty Free at Heathrow as I couldn't resist 20% off. I wanted the Gilded Cage one for the longest time and now that I bought it, I managed to leave it abroad! Very annoyed by this as I won't be able to wear for at least six months. The other gold charm was also on my wishlist. The problem is there are always new things to go on the wishlist!
Anyhow, here are my bracelets with the new additions. I am getting closer to my dream black/white/gold bracelet, though it needs more Muranos to compete and a re-jig of all the charms.
By the way - can I please have opinions on the pearl drop charm?
It's Judith Ripka and I got it as I love the clear drop charm I have, but not so enamoured with the pearl and considering a return. Thoughts?
Apologies for the long post!

Hooray there's hope for me ! Thanks it's something I would like to start and collect if they could do it in my size as at the moment there hasn't been any charms for my bracelet I've been wanting to buy. But I do like the stackiable rings they r small and have dainty designs that I like and I can see I will enjoy designing them like I have with charms for the bracelet. Will enquire more about resizing when I go to the pande store thanks againPandora did some, and an independent jeweller did some.
Wow, an amazing story which pulls at the heart strings. It sounds like you have been through a lot and have had some hard times. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? This is only because you have experienced so much already. I'm pleased you find comfort in your bracelet and you cherish it so much. In fact, I see a Pandora leather one next to it? Since you have filled this bracelet, are you tempted to start a new one? Perhaps an oxi with new beginnings charms on.View attachment 2453887View attachment 2453888
Mandora! I put this bracelet together to remind me of better times. Speaking on purse forum terms, the theme would be travel haha. I'm happiest when I travel. I filled it up because when it's empty it pulls my arm hair );
The safety chain I don't precisely love it but I guess it is a mandatory investment since charms aren't that cheap. The turtle symbolizes my childhood because turtles are the only pets I've ever had; I even had a collection of stuffed turtles! The seashell represents my family because my best memories of them are from when we go to the beach. The beach ball represents the month I lived in Cannes. The stocking represents the stuffed mouse which has been my best friend ever since I can remember
Attached is a photo of how I commonly wear it. Sorry for such a long post, everyone!

I like your Mandora a lot! It's great and looks good on you!! I like the meaning of every charm you got! Beautiful!! Enjoy it!!!
Thank you all so much!
I've just measured my middle finger as that's where I would wear it and it measures 10cm. I've looked on the sizing guide and I think I'm either size 49 or 50 does that sound right??
I can't thank you enough, I'm just so flattered
I honestly never meant to seem like an attention seeker on the forum, I just thought about sharing my story yeah maybe a couple of clips on a leather bracelet would be fine for him, or just the bracelet itself! endless possibilities!!
I agree with what Missydora said about Perlen. Initially it was a lot cheaper but the prices have increased and the gold is actually more expensive. All the items are brand new and unscratched. It doesn't take that long to be sent to the UK but I don't know about the rest of the world. The prices of the charms are cheaper for those who live in the US as tax is taken off at the basket. This was what was said right at the beginning. Are you thinking about buying from Perlen?

I'm 17 
. I know my problems may be silly compared to others', but there was just so much pressure and stress on me during 2013 which summed up to the issues I had accumulated over the years so it just kinda blew up. Things I never expected to happen went down, but I'm glad the drama is coming to an end. College starts this year for me, which means a new beginning. Haha yeah that was my first pandora bracelet, it sure is tempting getting new charms! I just have a rock star clip on it. Maybe I could add one of the big-dark-wooden beads in the future. I guess I'll just add my dream bead, the camel, once I accomplish going to Dubai, and that'd be it. But you never know!Well done for everything!Thank you
You are very independent and you seem to have your head screwed on. Good job. I work in a school and one of my students had just the snake chain on but it was tight fitting and it looked cool. I think you could rock a tight fitting oxi bracelet stacked with your full, or just the oxi on its own. The fact is you have your whole life ahead of you. Perhaps you could buy a few charms to inspire your future. For example, you want the camel charm but don't want to buy it until you have been to Dubai. Buy it now and that will be a goal for you to achieve. Buy another charm and that could be a different goal. You will become as bad as the rest of us here haha!I am trying to upload my pictures. I think it is successful but the resolution is crappy because we had to reduce the size of them.
BTW, while I am doing this can someone tell me whether the single captivating amber bead by itself on a bangle is genuine? I took a shot showing it near my other captivating Muranos and it looks so different from my other captivating charms. If I can't ask this on the forum just ignore. Thanks.

Urgh I've measured my finger wrong looking at it wrong my finger is 5.5 cm ????
Omg!!! You have the largest collection I've ever seen!!!, I bow my head down to you. You are truly a big fan I'm in awe that you have so many and they are all so beautifully put together Well done and thanks for sharing I was wandering how you were getting on up loading your pics, at least yours r the right way round! I have yet to achieve this
Sorry to be a pain. I downloaded a ring chart that has circles on them and corresponding ring size so I put my ring on top of which fits best and it says ring size 52 I should have done this in the first place but doh brain me tried to use a online actual ruler on the iPad but cos it was not to scale meant it was wrong according to that I had man size builder fingers which I know I don't have!,. Is size 52 a standard pandora ring size? Or I need to get resized.
Hmm no, 50 would be 5cm. Anyway, the estore stocks size 48. The shops only go down to 50.
