Yes, they are trying to turn us from occasional to regular consumers, to perpetuate the cycle of building and completing bracelets....an autumn one, a christmas one etc. So a continual purchasing cycle, otherwise people (though not us here) might stop after one bracelet.

Like you, I like more abstract and artsy. That's why I have fallen for and just started collecting Trollbeads, for that less commercial and more artsy feel. I will never be able to go beyond silver though as their gold is 18k and really expensive, even the two tone charms.

So there is a method to pandoras madness you articulate so well much better than I ever could! Troll beads have the best muranoes in the business my older daughter collects them she has the summertime limited edition collection of muranos from 2010. Have you noticed the muranoes are so much lighter and can wear a whole bunch without it feeling heavy on the wrist and the silver beads she has are so detailed and inspiring even the letter beads have such amazing attention to detail. Yes I have one that collects troll beads the younger one collects chamillia on a flexi bangle and me pandora. We have many beads!!
 
Thanks bangle owners for the feedback to my earlier post. I think I'm going to bring mine into the store and see how it looks with two more charms. I just may decide to leave it as is but I'm open to adding two more and then calling it a day if indeed I like it with two more.


I really would like an Essence collection bracelet though. I don't mind putting the money there instead if the two charms don't work out. I'm obsessed with that collection. It's more my style.
 
Hahahaha!!! Of course no pretzel or wishbone charms! :) glad you like it!

You know One day someone is going to post a pic with a pretzel and wishbone charm on their bracelet oblivious to what has been said about these horrific pandora disasters. I am going underground when that happens honestly I'm going to put a bin bag on my head! :noggin:

I know right it's so true. It's bound to happen. I was just going through the catalogue and took a long hard look at the dreaded pretzel charm. I'm not quite sure what pandora was thinking haha
 
Oh definitely. The charms are for Mother's Day but they're surrounded around the idea of love. Personally I don't always follow what the names of the charms are meant for, or their collection. Each charm is significant for the person that buys it. You define the charm and it's meaning, not pandora that names it. So go for it. :) really good gift for yourself. Personally I think it's simply elegant.


Actually I don't think I'll want my age on my bracelet lol...I want to keep feeling I'm in my 20's :(
 
Got 4 new charms today! Only 5 more and I finish my 1st bracelet =D

What is this exclusive club charm coming?


Love the pixie. Congrats on your 4 new ones
 
Thank you so much!!! I need a chihuahua charm!!

Ohm Beads has a Chihuahua charm that fits on a Pandora bracelet:

They have a whole line of beads for different dog breeds and are apparently coming out with more.

Redbalifrog also has what looks like a Chihuahua charm, although they're technically dachsunds:

I've wondered about that pretzel charm too. Is it supposed to signify a trip to someplace where pretzels are common, like Germany or Philadelphia? I love pretzels. I even bake my own pretzels. But that pretzel charm....well, it's just hard to imagine it hanging from one's wrist.

I see that Trollbeads is retiring a Bundt cake charm and that's kinda in the same category. I love Bundt cakes but I just can't see one hanging from my wrist.
 
I never posted an updated picture of my bracelet when I added clips and the wise owl charm! (I love the wise owl, his green eyes are so striking!) I also love having the clips it made organizing the bracelet a million times better.

I want one more murano to even it out so that's for sure what's next! I'm thinking maybe the effervescence charm, do you think there is enough of a difference between the clear effervescence and the white looking glass? Or maybe one of the fascinating charms the white one most likely. What do you guys think of these?

I love my bracelet!!

I like your bracelet. The wise owl and the flower bouquet are my favourites. Is it your everyday bracelet then? I am sure your friends / colleagues admire your pretty bracelet bery much.
 
I am serously thinking that I should have a serious break from Pandora from now for a while as every time I see nice charms, I want to buy them. I just cannot reisist the idea of not buying them or I must have them!

I love the chihuahua ohm bead!! It's perfect! I am glad it's not a dangly charm I was wondering how they would make a chihuahua bead! I want it!

I can't help but feel that I should keep my bracelet only pandora though? Anyone else feel like that? I thought I read somewhere that it could damage the bracelet to have a different brands charms on it? My sisters pandora has lots of beads from other companies on it though.

Do you guys put other charms on your pandora?

I love the chihuahua charm I want it!

You are very welcome. I have the flower bouquet and the key to heart one too. Wow, then your bracelet gets filled up really quickly especially you only got it for Christmas. You are very lucky. Mine took me two years to complete, so definately it is my everyday jewelry simply because of the effort I've been putting into it. Please and I am sure you enjoy your pretty Pandora.
