I love that butterfly, it's a great centrepiece. That's a great start!

Thanks! There's a poem that was written by a teenager in a concentration camp who used to look out his window. One day he saw a butterfly fly by and he wrote in the poem that that would be the last butterfly he ever saw. It really meant a lot to me so I got that charm for that reason.

Wow, I love that it really has a meaning to it. What's the poem called?

I will do my best, although I'm not sure yet how to upload pics to this site.

I'd love it if you would all give me your recs on favorites among the basic (i.e. CHEAPEST) clips. If it all comes down to taste, I can figure it out, but I was wondering if some might be easier to work with than others. :smile1:

I really love the two-toned sunburst clips (790216) and the buttercup clips (790140), but they're both two-toned so they're more expensive. I currently have the silver sunburst clips on both my bracelets and I love the way they look too though!

I love the lazy daisy clips 791013, they are so detailed. My daughter has the globe and the stars, they are lovely as well. All three are the same price.
Do you know what's weird? The lazy daisy clip is 39 euro's here and the crazy clip, 790446 is only 29 euro's. But in CAD the crazy clip is $45 and the laizy daisy is only $40...
How can that be the other way around? :confused1:

The Lazy Daisy is a great rec! I'm definitely leaning towards that one, thank you!

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?

They do get scratched up eventually im afraid even when with no charms if stacking with another bracelet or watch as they bang into each other, However they do polish up to sparkling the scartches dont look too obvious especially when its all evenly scratched I know this sounds terrible but you know what I mean I hope. when you only have 1 scratch it seems very obvious but when theres loads of little ones aswell it looks normal??? (hope u understand my logic?) wearing it plain on its own no other jewellery is probably the only solution long term wise.

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?
I like the rounded art nouveau lace on this bracelet, the texture and shape goes well and dont clash with beads next to it, if anything allows the beads next to it to stand out individually rather than clashing or being too similar. Plus the oxy on this charm contrast lovely with the gold. Overall its a beautiful bracelet I would be vey happy to own :)

Ooh - I need to post on here soon! I got my first Pandora bracelet, with a few charms, a year or so ago. I added to it last year and then treated myself recently in the sales!! I've got a nasty feeling I might need to get a second bracelet soon and split the charms between the two. Are they as addictive as I'm fearing they might be?! ;)

post pics :)



Ardnas said:
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:

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. :D

hope you can get a bigger bracelet so you can wear it:) It needs to be shown off, its so well put together bet it looks lovely in the summer, a beautiful sunny 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?

I havent got one but have seen wooden beads with leather bracelet and it works so well together.

I posted a reply but it didnt show up?? here goes again. hope I remember what I write originally. I like the the nouveau lace charm the best on this bracelet as the texture and shape allows the the charms next to it to stand out individually as the charm next to it is shiny and smooth also the oxy on this bead, contrast with the gold so well. Overall love the design of this bracelet is very beautiful and unique. Would be very happy to own it :)

I took advantage of this leather promotion (and applied it towards the SS bangle) and added the Happy Crab charm and two of the Elemental Flow clips. I don't plan to add much more to this one and if I do, it will be beach themed charms.

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've never really liked CZ - and that goes back 40ish years to when I walked into a jewellery shop, aged 14, and impressed the boss so much that I came out with a Saturday job, I've always loved my bling!

For me to be considering buying CZ, the design must be really pretty! I might well go for it, will have to see them in real life first :smile1:

Thanks, Missydora! Good to know that polishing will do the trick in lessening the inevitable scratches. I totally love wearing them stacked at this point so I'll live with the scratches haha! :D
