I would try one on in the next size up and see how it feels. Mine moves from just below my wrist bone at the top of my hand, to about half way up my arm.

I personally think you are on the cusp of too tight but still in personal preference area. I don't think the next size up will be a lot bigger so it may be more comfortable to go up one size?

Edit: or you could just have a larger wrist bone. Do you have a pic?

I took off one charm today, it feels OK. but i think i might go and try a big size to see how that feels:smile1:

Hi! Like some of the ladies here, I think perhaps your bracelet should be the next size up. Generally Pandora bracelets roll up and down the wrist, sitting comfortably on the top of the hand and not too far down so it rolls off. However it is personal choice but I do think you would find the next size more comfortable.

maybe my wrist size is just a little awkward:nogood: I dont want it to be too big and i was suggested if no glass beads on the bracelet, should get +3cm to your wrist and thats what i did, took off one charm today and it felt a little better but will go and try a size up when i have time

with a website i got a us adress to delivery but i'm not sure to understand what you said, do you mean that if i use my credit card from canada with an usa adress it will not work??

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I signed with Rue La La then found out I couldn't take advantage of their sales because I didn't have a US mailing address, so I got a friend who was in Arizona to let me use her address but then when I paid for my order, they said they didn't accept international credit cards only American issued ones.


A few weeks ago, they sent me an email saying that now they do accept international cards but your purchases still have to be sent to a US address. My friend was only in Arizona for the month of January so I still don't have a US address.


I was wondering how you got an American address. Another friend of mine has a US postal Box number in Buffalo that she has stuff mailed to but that means she has to travel to the US all the time to pick stuff which can be a pain in the *ss! Also some websites won't mail to a US Post Box only a real street address, maybe because they use courier services like Purolator of FedEx.

Thank you :smile1: does that mean my bracelet may be a bit too tight? it doesn't go above or below my wrist freely, I need to physically move it below wrist bone, it doesn't feel tight but when it's rest on my wrist bone it is a little awkward:rolleyes:

It does sound like it may be a little too tight. How many charms do you have on it? I think some people may have different size bracelets depending on how many charms they use. I use the 19 cm size but always fill them up! If I was going to use just a few charms between the stations I would probably buy another bracelet a little smaller.

That is a gorgeous bracelet! But I think it may be a tiny bit too tight. Part of the beauty of a Pandora charm bracelet is the way the charms roll and move around to catch your eye. Perhaps your charms don't do that and that is why you are getting imprints on your skin. I agree with other poster that a change to one size up will solve your issue. Very pretty bracelet and you have beautiful hands too! I wish mine looked like that but I have some scars from a burn.

Hi everyone. Here is a picture of my current collection. I was wondering if you could help me out with the design for my bracelet with the two tone bear. I'm not liking it, it seems kinda blah. Your comments are greatly appreciated! !!

I think maybe the little bear is a bit overwhelmed by the two big charms on each side. Instead of showcasing the bear, they make it look too small. Judging by all your bracelets (lovely, btw) it appears you like symmetry in your designs.


Working with what you already have, what does it look like if you move the openwork hearts on either side? I know that is a lot of gold hearts in a row! You can even mix them up a little, and have an openwork heart on one side and the round heart charm on the other.


I found out that I ended up preferring my own bracelets' designs more when I mixed up the shapes and colours (I adore Muranos). I used to create them with more symmetry then changed it up.



The heart locket and key dangle would also be a great charm to continue the heart theme.

I don't want to be responsible for feeding your Pandora addiction :graucho: but if you are planning to buy more charms, perhaps try some that are not round or spherical, like the sterling bow or a purse. Or you could stay with the heart theme and add Pandora's Box or Tunnel of Love. You can always add some spacers as well on either side of the bear, like Twice as Nice or Her Majesty.

The 3cm rule is correct. Mine is but I have 3 muranos on mine. My bracelet rolls up and down my wrist freely. It doesn't sit snug in one place. What size bracelet do you have?
