Wow! That is impressive. I hope I didn't offend you when I was bashing Pandora about the hearts :( I didn't mean to offend anyone who loves hearts, and don't get me wrong, I have many hearts in my collection too. I have 13 hearts depicted in some way, 3 that are just heart beads and I have that safety chain also. I love it. So again, please don't anyone take offense to my rant about all the hearts. They are nice and your bracelet is gorgeous, I just wish Pandora would put out more options. I feel so mean now. Sorry :(
I don't think anyone took offense. The whole idea behind Pandora is that you can personalize your bracelets and jewelry. I agree that that heart bracelet is gorgeous but mostly because the wearer loves hearts and chose to make a bracelet out of them. For those of us that want something a little different it's getting harder to do. I keep ranting about pave charms but I have a few. I go by the old adage, less is more, at least with CZ, now if they were diamonds..........................

I am the same. I have a rant about too many pave coming out in each season. However I do like some paves and it's all down to personal choice. I do wish they would have more two tone charms and more original designs. Although I have nothing against hearts, butterlies and flowers, it's always the same themes each season.
 
For balance, my regular bracelet ;)
Oooh, lovely bracelet. I am feeling all misty eyed and teary for the older designs. :crybaby: I do love some of the newer ones, the workmanship on some of them is divine, but I covet the older ones. I have every one of those charms on your bracelet! I also have a thing for the old kiss spacers that used precious stones like citrine, blue topaz and moonstones. They provide so much sparkle and depth to a bracelet.
 
I found somebody said they Prefer Old Classic styles than PAVED charms. Does anybody like Paved Charms or Not?Why? Is this a trend of people? Or this is only a Pandora's Trend?:cloud9:
I don't think it's because we don't like pave, we just don't like so many pave. It's like opening a cake shop but all you sell is chocolate cake - which is great if you like chocolate, not so much if you are more a lemon or vanilla cake person. Pave is in right now, because I see it in other well known brands but it's a fad so eventually it will fade.
 
I've started a seaside/beach theme. I love all the charms you can get for this, I've just bought the little dolphin and I have the seahorse one already. I am going to have fun hunting down the charms I want for my bracelet:D
Beach theme bracelets are lots of fun to create. I have three beach bracelets that I wear when I'm on vacation. They have nice teal and blue Murano beads to complete the look. I'm not sure if you can find them but they used to have an adorable octopus and a gold seahorse dangle. Other great beach themed charms are the palm tree with gold coconuts and the flip flop dangle. I don't see them anymore on Pandora's site but you may be able to get them from a reputable seller on eBay. Camera, fish, ship and suitcase are still around though.

Speaking of which: I recently got my first 2 spacers, and I'm surprised to see they're as big as my other beads. I thought they were supposed to be smaller and help highlight the bigger ones?

Here are my spacers. Left of the 2-tone clip is one spacer with purple CZs. Next to the gift is the star spacer. I think both are pretty big, aren't they?
