I use clips as regular beads all the time. I don't think they would damage the bracelet since they are no heavier than regular charms. I would like a bracelet of all smooth sphere clips alternating with a gold spacer, don't have it yet, but maybe one day! When I first started buying Pandora I was reluctant to get the clips since choices were a lot less than they are now but there are so many lovely ones now.

Your bracelet idea sounds really pretty! They do have a lot of really nice clips, that's why I was so confused that you could supposedly only put two on a bracelet :D thank you!!

Hey guys! I just went to the Pandora store on my lunch break and exchanged the pink murano to champagne lights. Will take photo later when I get home! Excited :)

I picked up the vday brochure as well! But to my dismay the Cupid charm is not in it! :((

OK here's a question - I never use ebay so I'm completely ignorant to basically everything to do with it but I was looking on there and saw some supposed pandora charms being auctioned by b'jewelled. Is this authentic pandora or fakes? Some of people say its the real deal but some people also say that about the lochness monster so I kinda want a second oppinion

From what I can remember if it's the same site as what I have used many years ago, they are real. That was years ago though. I don't tend to buy them from ebay anymore. If it's the Australian website then it's real.


I tend to get mine from Perlen or when there's a Pandora sale. Jewel First and Unforgettable Moments sell them too at a discounted price. Or I buy in a shop, but I mainly get a bargain.

Right!? How funny is that- to have our dream bracelets just sitting in the jewelry box! Maybe that's a good New Years resolution for us: to wear and enjoy our investments more regularly, as they were meant to be enjoyed!

I think I realized another component of my hesitance. Its on my two-tone oxidized bracelet, which seems irreplaceable. I'm afraid of damaging it and just crying cause I can't replace it!

I wear mine everyday as I like to get the wear out of it. It isn't gold but it's two tone with pinks and I think if I don't wear it regularly it's just sitting in a box gathering dust. If it gets lost or falls off I would be gutted, but at the end of the day it's just a bracelet. I can always start another.

I'd prefer to buy beads in person, especially the muranos since they can vary. But the only store nearby that carries Pandora doesn't stock much and is loath to special order. So most of my charms I've purchased mail order from a concept store in another state. They offer free shipping with no state sales tax so it is cheaper than buying locally. I have received a few muranos that weren't quite the color I anticipated or patterned in the way I hoped, but overall I've been happy with the ones I've received.

I don't buy off ebay because I'm afraid of getting fakes or silver charms that are scratched and dented.

I've never purchased from Perlen because I would worry about the reliability of international shipping and don't care for the thought of hassling over a lost package.

I buy from Perlen regularly and have never had a problem with the shipping and luckily they have never gotten lost in the post. However, I probably wouldn't buy very expensive items from there just in case, even with the special delivery.

My charms are 30% perlen 40% from other online authorised pandora store includes brand alley, achica, vent-privee who occasionally will have huge pandora discounts I think is similar to what rue la la do in america. 30% purchased in store ie: all muranoes and bracelets because I can't trust online in case they give me bracelet that is used/ returned item that has been bashed around.

Oh I loved Vente Privee when it had the big Pandora sale on last year. My friend and I bought only a few items because we didn't know if they were for real as we had never used the website before. Now I wish we had bought more! Do you think they will have another one soon?

Perhaps the white fascinating murano would look better?

I so regret not buying the pandora leather small rectangle face watch from achica few months back was only £45 and was suppose to be £170 big regret.

I hope they have a sale soon. It was last Feb I think when it was on. Maybe they will sell all the Pandora sale stock that has not been sold.
