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.

Oh yes I thought that was a bit big! 52 is a standard size yes! Always best to try on first though

I have yet to achieve this

Thank you! I really enjoy collecting them! The funny thing is when I started "theming" my bracelets I never planned on having multiples of one theme. When I started my beach/travel/tropic bracelet I had 2 blue striped Muranos, 1 octopus, 1 fish, 2 blue oval lights and 2 plain clips. But with all the new additions of the happy crab, ship, etc. I ended up with 2. Then after they introduced the effervescent series I just threw in the towel and started on a third.


Same with the animal bracelet and nature/gardening bracelets. I am still trying to find a rhino charm but I am worried I may end up with a fake since they are retired. Currently, I have a crown on my bracelet to signify the king of the jungle but I would like to get a lion head charm, again retired and HTF so who knows?


Pandora is coming out with so many new charms and retiring older ones at such an alarming rate that it seems like they want us to buy in large amounts instead of savouring the idea of building a bracelet.


My bracelet with the amber Murano is the beginning of my LV inspired bracelet but I am having a hard time finding more of them. I bought a captivating Murano off eBay and don't know if it genuine. I have scoured the jewelry stores in my area and they are all gone. But thanks to this forum I have found a UK site that may have them so I hope I am successful in my search.


I love looking at all the submissions too. Everyone is so creative.

Thank you :smile1: I'm 17 :rolleyes:. 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!

Wow, I read your story too. You are such an inspiration. I very much like how you think and collect your charms. I am very inspired to collect more meaningful charms than just a cute random charm.

I went to Egypt in 2010 and sailed down the Nile River amongst the many palm trees whilst the sun went down - on this cruise I turned 26 on the 26th which is the date of my birthday. I had Egyptian drums and music surrounding me, and the crew and my mother there and everyone else on the boat watched as we danced. We made lots of friends there too. Met interesting people. It was the most memorable time of my life. (I'm an Asian belly dancer so it meant a lot. I love the middle eastern arts/culture so much.)

For this memory I bought the Camel charm. It is so detailed all around-you will love it too.

Wish you the best for Dubai!

Hey Psychspirit,
I was a belly dancer in my former life! I performed in an Egyptian/Turkish cabaret style troupe for 6 years!
I have both the silver and the gold snake to commemorate this time :D

Well done for everything!:smile1: 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!

Aw haha thanks a lot! :D I was actually thinking of wearing a gold clasp one as you suggest, since I also never take off a gold ID bracelet, so maybe they'd look nice altogether.. but it's a lot of money, though :faint: I might follow your advice and get the camel :smile1: I was just at the mall and because of the holidays they won't restock until mid february, but I did see the camel on stock... :sweatdrop:

Hey!! Or should I *zhagareet*!!! Lol that's amazing, meeting a belly dancer on here! I've nvr thought of getting a charm to represent belly dance but I did ponder over get thing the dancing shoes...only thing is we usually dance bare feet! Lol

Did you post a pic of your bracelet recently? The snake charm is a great idea. Oh! It would be perfect if they made a tabla charm!

I bet you have so much fun with your bracelets! I also try and put some order in my bracelets in terms of colour size and texture and this mentality I have in trying to achieve it, is something I find very enjoyable and satisfying almost like a hobby abeit a expensive one! My search to find pretty /beautiful or meaningful bead is part of the fun. My hubby thought I would find it frustrating trying to achieve my dream bracelet and that because there was so many charms to choose and plus new ones coming out I would soon tire of the ones I have then would buy another to replace ones I have lost love for or no longer find beauttiful. But I haven't I still love every bead I have or have been given. I think because we have the passion and we put so much thought and care to our bracelets they become a lot more than just a piece of jewellry since we have invested so much of ourselves mentally and emotionally to it, It becomes more than that. I like that you have a inspiration for constructing your bracelets and that you can stick to it till it's finished. Your LV inspired bracelet will look so good together with LV bag your inspiration is such a clever idea. Yesterday whilst looking for sale items I came across a website that still had the £10 bird cage dangle left. When I find it i will post you the website

Funny enough, I never visited a Panda in China. But I have seen one at the zoo I think.. I feel it might make more sense to get the Smiling Buddha charm because while in China, I visited lots of temples and saw way too much Buddhas there lol. Also I can rub the Buddhas belly for good luck? Lol

Two hrs to see a Panda? Ouch. And do I I dare ask if you have the Panda charm? :)
