Lucky you! Your collection is gorgeous. I love the Chinese doll but it's not available in the UK yet. In fact the newest collectiom we have is the Mother's Day collection, which if you aren't a mum or your mum doesn't own a bracelet, it's pretty useless. I personally love the heart pave cz clips. They are stunning.

Am pretty certain collectabeads is genuine. Not sure of I have bought from them before. My parents are off to Hong Kong on holiday soon and I will ask them to get me the Chinese doll charm. My parents will probably get it for me for my birthday in April.
I buy mainly from Charming888 and bjewelled as I know they are real. There are a few other sellers in ebay but ai have forgotten what they are called. I don't like to pay full price if I can help it. I also love buying my friends charms for birthdays and other special occasions. In fact I am thinking of what charm to buy two of my best friends for summer. We all work in the same school, although one is working abroad but coming back in the summer for a hol. She's only away for 2 years and will be back with us in her previous job after her work abroad. I don't plan to pay full price so will hopefully be able to buy them from ebay, but not sure what design to get.
My uncle is currently living in Hong Kong as he is working there I was going to ask him to get it but he hates shopping and would probably manage to get the wrong charm lol
Yeah I usually use charming888 I just bought my mum a Mother's Day charm I got her the heart that says mum as it was cheaper as I bought her a bracelet last year from the U.S.
That's a hard one where has she been working? Have they got the apple? Wish you were my friend buying them charms
I just got all my new bits as it was my birthday on the 6th of this month everyone gave me money so I went to pandora and bought all my new bits and got the heart jewellery box free I thought it would be good for travelling

TraGiv I love your bracelet! It's so pretty and symmetrical. It also can work with anything you wear. It's totally giving me an idea on how to do mine
A Pandora shopping spree how fab! I bet you had to spend a lot of money to get the free jewellery box.
My friend is working in Qatar with her husband for 2 years. She has been there for 6mths now. I already got her the camel charm and a few others for her leaving. Just not sure what to get her for the summer.
It doesn't sound like it's that big in China at the moment though maybe I'm wrong. The article says Pandora has 30 concept stores in China and 19 retailers. In contrast in the U.S. Pandora has over 300 concept stores and over 3K retailers according to their web site. With 1400 concept stores worldwide. The Asian market for jewelry is surely a lucrative one and certainly Pandora wants a part of that.
Yes you are right, China will certainly want to be a part of it. Pandora is definitely getting bigger and bigger with most woman owning a bracelet it seems! A whole lot of girls in the school I work at wear Pandora. The staff too.
Tabitha- The minimum spend for the jewellery box was £125 I got 2 one for me and one for my mum as I had to get my mum her heart cz locket for valentines for my dad and my own valentines present from my husband too
I have the camel too it reminds me of my Egypt holidays it's on my travel bracelet

Fantastic! I bet the jewellery box is gorgeous! You need to post a photo. I have the camel too. My friend bought me one also to remind me that she is in Qatar haha! He's very cute.
In 2011 - in USA Pandora raised prices for each and every charm, adding 5-10 extra. The motivation behind that was silver cost. Although the product was in the store, produced from silver with older cost. Around 6 months later, Pandora returned most of the prices back to its original. I bought some charms that were 25 and become 30, and some I bought eg 30-35 and they become 25. I thought it would turn people off. It did it to me.
Look at Pandora now, they have plenty of bling bling at 70 dollars and more per charm.
Question for you ladies buying from Charming888 or other sellers not in the UK, are you having to pay custom charges on your charms coming through? Is it expensive? I want to get the star pave bangle from there eventually
I buy from charming888 and other sellers and no I don't have to pay customs. I live in the UK. Charming888 also has a store under charming888_aus and when their Australian dollar is converted into English pounds, it is actually cheaper.
I think the cheapest charm in the UK are the open work charms which some start at £20. Think some silver spacers are £15. Some old silver charms are £25 but newer silver charms sell for £30. I do wish they would reeduce the cost of their charms and jewellery. It's not like they can't afford to. In fact, I think they would sell more. I do buy online and from ebay but I hate the wait and want it now haha! Two pave clips would set me back £110. Not a lot of people would be able to afford that. Two silver clips yes but not two paves.
