I used to wear my bangle 3/4 full and I liked it like that. I changed it because I like to change my bangle often and only wear one charm at a time. But I am planning on getting a 2nd bangle at the next free bracelet promo so that I can put it it back to the 3/4 full design I like.


About your bracelet snapping I think I might know why. Most ladies may know that when you first buy a snake bracelet they are very tight and when you go to close the clasp you have to push a little, there is a bit of resistance in one direction. BUT if you bend it the other way it is a little bit looser. So I think maybe you could try finding the loosest way and make sure that when you put it on your wrist it is not in the tightest position. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Maybe someone else could explain it better.


The other thing I would say is, try to very gently bend it so it will loosen up. It probably snapped because it was in that super tight and rigid position. Like when you have it closed and it is in a tight circle it could snap easy if you hit it on something or rest your arm's weight on it. So like I said maybe try to play around with it to get in in a looser circle. You can tell by looking at the threads and seeing if they are curving towards the clasp (too tight), or if they seem looser then the part right beside the clasp on both sides should be more relaxed. This is my experience anyways. Sorry if this is all very unclear lol I can't think of a better way to explain and maybe it's too late at night for me to be writing paragraphs on here lol

I know exactly what you mean. I think there is some truth in this. If there is pressure on the bracelet cos it is bending in the wrong direction, yes it could snap.

Hello, I was wondering which you find the most comfortable to wear with the charms on, the bangle or the bracelet? I am really torn with what to do still and keen for advice. I am wondering if I should trade in the bracelet that was replaced, and get another bangle to wear my charms on that instead. I love the look of your bracelet and your bangle. Thanks for your help x

Maybe these pictures might help you a little to decide. On the bangle I can not wear it with any muranos because it gets kinda tight and feels funny. But when they are just free this way they move around very nicely and it doesn't bother me. When I put them on the snake chain I can wear 3 muranos (only 2 in the picture here) and they fall loosely.


But if I put clips to hold all those beads in place on the bangle, it feels kinda funny for me. So that is why I leave them loose on the bangle so that they can move freely when my wrist does. Otherwise it just feels like a really clunky bracelet.

I transferred all my beads to the bangle. With the amount I have, they feel pretty similar. I don't think I would like the bangle completely full. I like having the ability to have a bangle or the snake chain. Since you have a bangle, I think you should get another chain. But I can only imagine how much it sucked to have your chain break. I have been obsessively checking mine ever since I heard about yours snapping.



Edited to add: the bangle and snake bracelet I have are both the same size.

I'm not sure if it's allowed to mention websites here, could be seen as advertising. Especially since it's your one and only post.

Your charms look stunning on the bangle as well.

Thank you for your advice and help. I love the look of your bangle. Does it spin with all the charms in one place? The pandora sa, did say that my bracelet was a one off fault. I think I am being paranoid! Xx

Thank you for your help. I am unsure about the comfort factor also with the weight and the position of the charms. I think I need to get over the fault of my old bracelet and start wearing my new one xxx

Yeah it spins. Both the bangle and the chain spin around to where the charms are on the bottom. It actually doesn't bother me *yet* because I like spinning it back around and seeing my charms. :)
