I have the champagne leather and I don't wear it all the time, but after 2 years, it's still fine. I usually wear a few charms on it. It doesn't look dirty yet.

Very pretty collection you have. You must be chuffed!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:View attachment 2684160
And here's my free bangle where I put my little reindeer dangle. View attachment 2684162

Lovely leather bracelets. Will you add some charms onto your black leather for colour?
I was worried at first about all the scratches the charms would make but after a while, I you accept it's going to happen so just try and forget about it. If you add 2 clips, one on either side, that will stop the scratching of the one charm. Also, don't wear stack it with another bracelet. I don't care anyway and wear mine stacked because that's the way I like it. Mine still looks okay to be honest.Yes, it really does add character to my bracelet.Thanks so much, I'm loving my bangle though I'm worried about scratching because my reindeer dangle is moving around freely. Any tips on this?
The one on the left seems to look better because it adds a bit of texture.Trying to figure out which clip looks better, I like both but I think I am leaning more towards the art nouveau lace, but would the crazy go better?
Yes you are absolutely right!! I love looking at my new charms! I think anyone else would just think I am nuts!Isn't that what's most enjoyable about Pandora? To be so happy with a new charm that you can't stop looking at it. I don't think that 'outsiders' can understand that
Why don't you want to add cz to your bracelet? They can look very pretty and add a dash of sparkle or colour to a bracelet. I think you should reconsider and go for it.
I love that necklace design! It's so unusual!Wow, that's scary! Maybe someone returned a charm with a receipt of the Original ring and return a fake ring? They should really be more carefull!
Your welcome, since you mentioned that you have two rings, I have seen another cute idea:
Maybe we are nuts, but who cares?
At least we have good taste when it comes to jewelry I know, and not that expensive to achieve for most of us. I only need a lariat cord. I ordered a purple one yesterday and as soon as it comes in the mail I can try how it looks.
Finally finished & now it's too tight. 
And apparently Pandora isn't as accomodating as Troll is with exchanging for size. The store manager said "bring it in & we'll see". Hopefully they'll let me go up without an issue. I told the girl I thought it would end up being too small eventually, but she was adamant she sized me properly. I'm going to exchange my beaded Essence bracelet I got yesterday too. I put the one bead I have on it & that's all that'll ever fit.
Sigh...first world problems, I know.

Oh dear, hopefully you can get it exchanged, of not you could buy a new one and sell this one.
Very "happy" looking bracelet

It's so pretty -- love all the colors! The muranos take up quite a bit of space. FYI: take the beads off your bracelet before you take it in for an exchange. It looks like you have a non-Pandora bead on there (the heart lock) and Pandora will not exchange it if you have put other brands on the bracelet.

Hello everyone! I've decided to purchase my first Pandora bracelet and am wondering how many of you have bracelets using wooden beads. My style is pretty casual and I'm trying to create a bracelet with a more rustic touch. I've scrolled through a number of pages here but haven't seen too many with this type of bead. Does anyone have pictures to share?
