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.

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:

The camel is on perlen website. It will be cheaper to perhaps?

I didn't realise this thread was so addictive. I'm suppose to get all my data/stats sorted to do a presentation tomorrow and I'm seriously getting side tracked on here!!! There's too much gorgeous stuff to see. I'm going to look like that panda bead!

Hi!


I'm sorry if this has already been asked lately, but where do you keep or wear your Pandora lock opener, if you have one? There may be some older versions I don't know, but I have one which is like a Silver flower with a pink cubic zirconia in the middle of it, and the flower is hanging from a short black rubber/leather ribbon.


It's so lovely that I've been wanting to keep it with me since I received it, so I have put on the zipper of my bag. Since nothing lasts forever, if and when the ribbon frays very badly, I can start to use it as a pendant. But so far I think it looks quite nice on the bag.


How about you? :)

Gosh, I am finding it hard to keep up with this thread! I went away for one night and there are 10 new pages!

Thanks for so many responses. I am still on the fence about the Ripka pearl drop but the postage costs returning it would eat up half of the refund, so I am keeping it for now.

The good news is that I found my gilded cage charm so I didn't leave it abroad after all! It was just somewhere very safe :smile1:.

Wow that oxy bracelet looks so striking. I can imagine it perfect for a glamorous night out! Love where you're going with it! Colour and bead symmetry is just right.

Thanks Psych, this is my go to bracelet at the moment so I wear it more or less every day rather than only for glam nights out. Those are few and far between since becoming a mother :smile1:

Psychspirit said:
Opps, about the pearl- it doesn't bother me. It's a lighter shade so it balances out with your fascinating white murano.

I am glad you think wearing this way is an option.

Love your bracelets! Not a fan of the drops, they don't seem to fit, but that is just my two cents. :)

Thanks darkangel, I appreciate your honesty and from your collection so far, I see that we have pretty similar tastes (when it comes to Pandora anyway ;) )

Missydora said:
you have a amazing to die for collection! your dangles r lovely but think it might look better on the bangle because the lighter colour of the silver matches the bangle shininess and the two clips better.
Click to expand...

Missydora, thanks for the great idea! I attach a pic of the bangle with the drops. What do you think? Generally I don't mind moving charms but the dangles on the bangle (what a mouthfull!) annoyed me a little; maybe I will put them within the clips range.

pandorarose said:
I like the perl drop charm, it balances the overall theme colour nicely! My favourite is the bangle :) - do you think you will update it or leave it just like now?
Click to expand...

Thanks Pandorarose. I was going to leave the bangle like this. I quite like the minimalist elegant look and this is how I envisaged my first Pandora purchase :smile1:. Also, I had a bangle with about 7 charms on it and within a month it got very scratched to the point that Pandora agreed to replace it. This time I want to be more careful.

What do you think of it with the dangles on?

And here is a picture of my two tone minus the dangles and plus the newly found gilded cage charm. I am so happy I found it; having wanted it for the longest time, I was pretty bummed at the idea of leaving it abroad...

This bracelet is still a work in progress.

Looking lovely! Are you planning more muranos or keeping some room for other charms?

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 :) his leg once played music and nowadays the batteries are still inside so it tingles. The clock reminds me of a saying which says that, when it comes to answering our prayers, God never forgets; he just takes his time. The forget-me-knot represents me going to Lana del Rey's concert, it was amazing and I made it to the stadium even though apparently my family did everything to stop me from attending. Then there's the rock star clip, my initials. The suitcase kinda stands for the Louis Vuitton piece of luggage I wanted ever since 2008 which I finally got last year. Then there's the Bible. The plain clip is there to remind me to always stay humble. The frog represents my first trip abroad alone, to Costa Rica. The sun represents Miami, my favorite city and the first foreign place I ever went to. The chest symbolizes life and blessings are the treasure. Then I have a clover. I wasn't exactly planning on getting the Black Friday charm but I did to remind me of Texas; I had always wanted to go and I finally did this year during the holidays so I obviously listened to festive music again and again and again in shopping malls and everywhere I went so it just fit that trip. Finally there's the car, because I've always loved cars and this year I finally got my license.

Attached is a photo of how I commonly wear it. Sorry for such a long post, everyone!

Amazing bracelet, touching story and a brave young man! Tough times can shake us to the core and 2013 was a tough year for many, myself included.

You have a whole life ahead of you, a great attitude and little great things to keep you happy along the way! :smile1:

All the very best to you and keep sharing your mandora creations which we all love.
