I haven't been on here in awhile (been chasing my diaper bag obsession), but between Mother's Day, wedding anniversary, and my birthday I got a lot of new additions :)

I love the cherry blossom clips..those and winter wisp are my favorite new ones. Winter wisp wasn't even on my wish list but I got light as a feather recently as well and the sales girl put winter wisp on my bracelet to show how it balances it out and I loved it!View attachment 2678496

I love your bracelet, it's so shiny! Are you always polishing it? I love the cherry blossom clips so much. I love the bear and the bow. I love all your charms haha!

ladies ladies, have a look at my bracelet on my wrist, does it look too big to you? i increased a size to 18cm and i do feel it's a little big, it doesn't come off my hand or anything but does it look fine being this low on your hand? seems like im a half size for wrist as well?!?!:p i mean i've never worn a bracelet this loose, but the 17cm is too small with all those charms:thinkin:

Looks like a perfect size and the size it should be. Pandoras don't like so good when they are snug on the wrist. They need to roll up and down and move about to catch the sun light. Lovely bracelet by the way. Excellent choice of charms.

I think that will look really awesome. I recently combined some pink muranos on an oxy bracelet and it looks really nice. The black and pink is a great contrast and the oxy just makes the pink pop out wonderfully. Here is the pic. Maybe you saw it a few days back when I first posted it. Gold however would look stunning and give an even higher contrast interest than silver or two tone can do.

Fab choice of charms and the colour of pink looks great on the oxi.

you have the same problem as me !!. we ideally could do with 17.5cm. I started with a 18cm snake chain many moons ago it was fine if I had it full with 5 muranoes as well as the silver charms. But would hang too loosely if it was just charms no muranoes. So I got the 17cm chain aswell it is fine for me with just charms no muranoes with it almost full with just a bit of space enough for it to jiggle but the problem is i have to have certain charms and spacers organised in a particular way for it to fit comfortably, but that for me is too restricting in design terms as I dont want charms put in that way just so it feels comfortable. So then came the bangle answer to my prayers?? freedom to do what I like, place the clips where I want. On a bangle max for me is 4 muraones and some charms. However with all charms and no muranoes, can have it almost practically full up with about 1cm space is fine for me. The bangle how I wear it is not for everyone I pre warn as some ladies will find it uncomfortable but cos I have narrow wrist the rigid roundness of the bangle with charms dont rub on my wrist as I have enough clearance space for it. Hope this helps:) sorry its long :(

I wish the bangle came in an 18cm. That would be ideal for me. I usually wear mine teamed with my bracelet, otherwise on it's own it looks rather big.

Hello, your bracelet looks just like mine by where it sits on your wrist. I think I need a 18.5cm Pandora bracelet! I must say the bracelet is much more comfortable to wear having sized up. I am wearing mine with the 19cm bangle. I think your bracelet looks lovely xxx

Oh man, I love that safety chain but it's so expensive! In my case, I've decided that the safety chain is going to be the last purchase to finish off my bracelets when they eventually fill up. The sole purpose of the safety chain for me is not to prevent accidents (which I feel aren't really going to happen with the clasp; if anything I'm worried about the snake chain itself) but rather to hide the threads at the end. I don't want to thread a charm onto the stopped end because that would make the two uneven (one with a charm, one without) so a safety chain would do the trick. Am I the only one who thinks like this? :whistle:

I agree with you. I really want to cover the threads. The two tone safety chain is really expensive. I have seen it on eBay from an Australian shop for £60 (new) so I think that is how I will eventually buy it. This seller has been recommended by several of the girls on this forum :smile1: xx

That's good news. Our bracelets are for us to enjoy and not just to sit in the jewellery box and admire. I understand that some of us can't wear our bracelet during the day due to our job roles or it being impractical, but we should enjoy it as much as we can. I always admire other peoples when they are wearing them and always sneak a peak at what charms they have on.

:smile1: Thank you. I was feeling guilty that I was scared to wear it, and I am really happy to be wearing it again. This bracelet feels totally different. It is already less rigid and way more flexible than the last one ever was xx

Yes thats what I was thinking the effect you have on this bracelet is what im wanting to create :) Ive been doing a lot harmonious colour schemes of lately and I think having contrast colours would switch up the look and I would only need to buy a oxy chain to achieve it. Thanks for posting this inspiration in real life for me:) it really helps.

No problem. Your bracelets always stun me when I see them. They are at the top of my fav that I have seen anywhere but they are so far from what I have going in my collection. I had really wanted to start a two tone like yours but I would have to scrap all my other ideas and focus only on that. As I mentioned in other posts too I just love the way yours all goes together so nicely. I have noticed that most people have a style of bead they love and when they buy only what they really love it shows on their bracelet because they just flow together. Yours is like that, they all just have a quality to them you can't quite explain what it is. So if I tried to do a similar thing it would just look funny because I would only be trying to accomplish a "look" as opposed to collecting beads I love. Does that make sense? lol Anyways I can't wait for you to do this so I can see PICTURES lol Yaay I am sure it is going to be fabulous. I know some people are not happy with Jewel First but they have the gold oxi for 138 euros. I think Gabbylovepandora got hers from on them and is very happy with it.

Thank you so much :smile1: I actually wanted to go for the bangle as well, what is your bangle size? I just wasn't sure which size, 17 is perfect when nothing is on, loose but not too much, 19 is just too big, i was afraid of same thing might happen like my bracelet.

That is so creative and unique! I would have never thought to clip rings together like that.

I didn't either, but I'm happy to steel the idea. Thanks Charmsaddict :)

Pretty bracelet! It really does look great.

Wow, that's really unusual. What size rings did you go for and how many did you buy? This creation must be very expensive!

Most of my rings are size 58, one is 56. I am not bothered by a slight size difference. The double diva clips I allready had because of my bangle stack, otherwise it would have been too expensive.
