I'll add one more question if I may. I'm also considering a double wrap as an alternative, which I would then put silver beads on. Is it necessary to use clips with these? I'm curious how well they wear with the beads flopping around, or if the beads pull so much as to tighten wrap so that the wrap is uneven? Sorry for all the questions, I'm definitely a newb at this.

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.

sorry for the size but i really like your bracelet, with the silver charms and the colorfull muranos its look really great

I love your bracelet, it looks great with all those candy stripes! It's so colorful it makes me happy lol I can only imagine how much fun it must be to wear! Hopefully they will help you out about the size. Good Luck!

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?

Welcome to the crazy addiction of Pandora! Here is a link to my pinterest page that has over 1000 pictures of Pandora bracelets and there are quite a few with rustic tones, just scroll down; http://www.pinterest.com/luckyduckybunny/p-a-n-d-o-r-a-c-a-n-d-y/


Maybe you know already, but I thought I might warn you they are about to retire all the wood beads I believe. So if you want to buy them from the official stores you should probably scramble on that. But don't worry because you will surely be able to find them on the internet at many different places. Check out www.charmsaddict.com and www.morapandora.wordpress.com/ for all kinda Pandora info.

The one on the left seems to look better because it adds a bit of texture.

Thanks! I am going to bring it into pandora and decide which one

Welcome! I don't have wooden beads but my friend does have one wooden charm, she really likes it (I do too). She is really carefull with her bracelets. Here's a pic:

Of course you can ask another question! It is not necessary to use clips, you can also wrap a small elastic around your bracelet and carefully place your charm on it, that way it cannot move around. I think it will be an uneven wrap at times if you don't.

Fantastic inspiration, thank you so much! I'm sad about the wooden charms being discontinued, but this may help with my decision!

Great tip about the elastic, thank you! If I only can have a few beads on the leather bracelets, I'd rather not use clips and just get ones that I love. Your friend's bracelets are beautiful.

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.

OMG! Your collection is amazing! My most favourite ones are the bangle one with dangle charms all over and the one bracelet with 6 dangle charms on. Yes you've got a few bracelets there but none of them are the same, they all look unique! Well done!

I had one with the four different types of wood, and two tone charms. It looked good!

No clips aren't necessary, the weight of the charms will pull and make the bracelet sit unevenly though, I prefer the single leathers for that reason. Maximum of 9 charms on the leathers too.

Those are really really pretty!

Good to know about the weight of the charms making the bracelet sit unevenly! I was contemplating a double leather for this current promotion....but ended up getting the lavender multistrand and instead....glad I did now! Love when I get good insight reading this thread!

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.

You're right, no use worrying about it. I'll get clips when my wallet recovers a bit. ;D I've been wearing my bracelets stacked for the last 2 days & I think they're alright. I'm happy with the way they look & that's what matters.
