Here are my beauties as of today. Took a while to get them all the way I like, for now anyways lol I am in love with dangles! I am doing a bracelet with only dangles and it is coming along nicely. I think I will probably get the rose gold heart pendant and key to add to my dangle bracelet.

My next purchase, I am hoping, will be the Heart of Gold two tone bead to finish up my square/block bracelet. It is retiring in the second 2014 round so I have to hurry. I am so sad to see so many plain silver beads go. Like most of the animals will be gone now. The second retirement list is ridiculous and there are so many nice pieces that bit the dust.

I am scared to put any beads on my new champagne leather bracelet. I have an elastic that I use to style my beads before screwing them all on and it is black from tarnish and oxidation in the core of the beads. So I am worried about ruining the color of the leather if I put some beads on it. Does anyone have this problem? I have no idea how to clean a leather bracelet.

You could clean the inside of the charms instead?

Hello ladies
Long time lurker and admirer of your lovely bracelets.
I just wanted to tell you about my recent experience. I bought a ring in the Pandora sale from Mococo who are an authorised Pandora retailer and it was a fake!
They were fine about refunding my money and also refunded my postage costs to return the ring. It was definitely a fake - I could tell a mile off and I took it to a Pandora shop and they confirmed it was fake.
I should say I had another 2 items in the sale from Mococo and both were real so no complaints there but still a bit worrying from an authorised retailer. Now wondering whether to tell Pandora, and if they'd even care.

Oh no! Someone probably did a switch, bought a real one from them then returned a fake and the staff didn't notice. I don't know pandora would do about it to be honest.. But you could email the anyway.

Hi! I'm in NYC for a few days so I went to a Pandora store last night to take advantage of the free bracelet promo. I was hoping not to spend so much beyond $100 but you know how it is when we're surrounded by charms haha! ;D

So first I got the 2-tone apple charm with NYC engraved. This is my souvenir for this travel. Next I got the teal lattice murano. These 2 only added up to $90 so I had to get another one. I chose the open work butterflies. By then I was over my budget but I still asked if I can upgrade my free bracelet to a bangle. SA said yes (add $25)! No good but I couldn't resist... I'm very happy though!

Here's my snake bracelet with new additions:

And here's my free bangle where I put my little reindeer dangle.

I was finally able to finish my collection. I like all the pieces. I wish the earrings were made the same way as pendant. Not just the bottom part.

The first picture looks so so pretty! ONE DAY I will own a full two-tone bracelet. ONE DAY.

thank you im rather addicted to the two tones I can't seem to get enough of them or be able to stop buying them even though I know I have enough of them to do lots of bracelets. No hope for me

I ordered these beauties: Excited! there goes my ban...

I love the colour of those pearls against the gold its so elegant and sophisticated.

So glad you managed to get your money back without the hassle as some of ths ladies on here in the past with dodgy charms. Think it was probably someone naughty returning a fake charm to them swap for a real and they not checked properly and put it back in their stock.

Gorgeous! I'm dying! Love it.

thank you glad you like it as much as I do too

I love the lattice muranoe it adds so much oomph and texture to your bracelet, the lattice muranoe reminds me of trollbeads glass that have the textured detail on top of glass. Hope your loving your bangle looks lovely stacked.

Here are my beauties as of today. Took a while to get them all the way I like, for now anyways lol I am in love with dangles! I am doing a bracelet with only dangles and it is coming along nicely. I think I will probably get the rose gold heart pendant and key to add to my dangle bracelet.

The bangle with all those dangles is my favourite its a very unique modern take on the old charm bracelets. Bet it looks fab on the wrist

I am in so much trouble!! Got my first ever Pandora bracelet today after years of deliberating, here starts the addiction..

ohh last but not least, I forgot to add comments on your beautiful bracelet what a wonderful start, glad you bought the clips first then add charms to it, I say this as that sometimes I see some ladies buy the clips almost last when the bracelet is nearly full must get annoying with charms stuck on the threads.
