Thank you for that info and what a sweet friend you must have! I'd have a hard time not opening it LOl! I actually decided to go to my local jeweler and I tried on the different options. I like the snake with the pandora oval clasp and the heart one too. I tried the bangle on too need to go up a size in that one. I liked it too but it's not as comfortable on. I think I will go with the snake bracelet with the round clasp or the heart, my kids can decide for me! It's going to be a gift from children to mommy on Valentine's days.

This is such a gorgeous pairing of colors, very calm and sweet, elegant. I love them.
Aw that is so sweet and sad at the same time. Getting chocked up! I love animals. My cat is from a shelter too. She was found wondering with half her fur missing from her neck, trying to scratch off a too tight collar. She was covered in fleas and had little kittens with her. She is now healthy and been with me for 8 and half years now. I love her to bits. I have the lucky cat charm and a Chamilia cat charm. I wish they would make a cute cat charm. A really nice one I mean. Do you have another cat?
How sweet! It's extra special when it's a gift. I like to wear my bangle with my bracelet but too be honest I prefer my snake bracelet. It really is comfortable once it softens and relaxes. At first it's rigid and this looks great but when you have quite a few charms on, it is much more confortable when it becomes soft. Also I have never experienced any stretching in my bracelet. It has always stayed the same length. I think as long as you tare care and don't bunch too many charms in one section you should be fine. I would buy the clips early one to help keep charms in each section. A safety chain makes it look finished, and for safety too incase it comes undone (not that it does as the clasp is very secure). What charms would you like? The two tone family? : )
For those in the US, Ruelala is having a sale on Pandora retired charms on Tuesday. www.ruelala.com It's generally about 50 percent off a wide selection of retired charms and other Pandora jewelry. And yes, it is the genuine stuff, no fakes. Doors open at 11 a.m EST. Downside is that shipping is a flat $10 and orders usually take about a month to ship as they come straight from Pandora.
Thanks for that info, I have the same size wrist. Really want the star bangle. Would probably be good to get bigger then if you want more charms on

The problem is that the next size up is 19cm which is quite big. That's the size I have. I don't wear it on it's own because it looks too big. I stack it with my braceler which is also 19cm, but my bracelet is full with muranos. I only have a few charms on my bangle which is the way I want it to be to show of the bangle itself. Doesn't look too big when it's stacked though. Ideally I am an 18cm in the bangle. The 17cm is too small. It would fit if I had two charms on it but any more would make it hard to rotate about. I think 17cm will be fine for you. My friend has about 4 or 5 charms on and I think that's the max before it gets too tight.
I like to wear my bracelet a little loose but I think I am probably an 18cm but because I wear muranos, the next size up is better as it rolls up and down my wrist and top of hand. For my birthday bracelet my friend got me (for April), I am trying to think if some themes. I have an idea of white muranos, two tone charms and clear cz charms; or green like emerald muranos, two tone and emerald coloured cz charms. My current colour schemes are pink and two tone bracelet, and red and silver bangle.

I didn't really go for a colour theme. Just something that's personal and means something to me. I will be getting the sparkling angel next. I do really like the bangle but I like bracelets loose and was told by the lady in the store that this was the best one for me. I need to get a safety chain though as I will be in a lot of trouble if I lost this !!! I'm going to have a look on line as I've been told they offer more sizes and it is valentines soon !!!!!!!!! 💓
The safety chains come in a standard 5cm but online websites may still have some older stock left which came in sizes 4cm - 7cm. The two tone heart safety chain is the is the nicest. I have this one. I also have the rain drop and flower safety chains for my other bracelets.
Yes. I had the gold heart safety chain bought for me for my birthday but it served no purpose as it just rolled off my hand so took it back. I have tiny wrists so need to take a look on line. Disappointed the sales girl failed to tell me about this !!! The other thing I don't have are clips !!! Waiting to see if they have any new ones
You probably need a small safety chain. If you can get a size 4cm that would be good. A safety chain looks good but will only stay in place if your bracelet is full. The charms will then keep the safety chain in place. If you only have a few charms the safety chain won't stay on the threads and will tend to unroll and fall down the bracelet. The clips are kind of boring in design. I like the cherry blossom clips and the two tone clips.
