Yep, it is unavoidable, right. I walked by store yesterday, and they allow upgrade.

Yep got my upgrade today :)

Nope. I don't want any of the charms of the current collection. That actually makes me pretty sad :(

I sent my old (worn-out, too big) Pandora bracelet to Trollbeads, and through the "ultimate exchange program", a starter bracelet is on its way to me at a discount price. This opens new possibilities, and I'm now browsing Trollbeads, Ohm, Elfbeads, Novobeads (their sets of 5 mini-cz are tempting).

Now trying to decide what to get for my birthday. Charms? A non-charm bracelet? Stackable rings?

By the way, Trollbeads told me they exchange bracelet chains for life if your size changes. Which means you can get the smallest bracelet for a little girl, and she'll be able to change the chain and keep wearing the charms and lock as she grows. I can't believe I didn't know that!!

I have been a Trollbeads fan longer than Pandora, and I had no idea! That is great news, thanks for sharing :)

I completely understand you. i would really freak out if it was me! This shouldnt happen to a very expensive item..i have some non-brand name silver and though it tarnishes like any silver it never turns yellow or orange..

Just thought i would let everyone know in case you didn't already- pandora is NOT doing the US free bracelet promo in Sept, they're doing "spend 100 and get a charm up to $65". Technically you could just buy the bracelet and have that go towards the charm cost... But it'll take some finagling. Just a heads up in case you were counting on it like I was. Now I have to go find a store that will let me upgrade to a silver barrel clasp before the 14th!

If you have made it this far in my post, please have a look and tell me how you like the bracelet now? I used the bracelet designer but think i can do better with the muranos but not sure what else will go? Opinions?

And i will be adding two more charms on here as there will be room, most of my two tone ones are on my two tone bracelet, so maybe enamel ones? Something floral? I want this bracelet to be colorful and pretty!!!

Thank you for putting up with my insanity :) i love this forum, all the kind and thoughtful responses, and members who give you advise without being biased or judgmental.

P.S I did end up selling my Sparkling Leaves Clips, any other clips that you recommend other than these that you see?

Rose, how about these clips? Not really colourful but cute and floral.
I think the first one would go well with the wild flower spring murano.

There is also this charm similar to the first clip.

Or maybe you could also consider some spacers. I definitely think that the beauty of that murano is most prominent next to something white... Maybe place it between these two spacers. I think your bracelet already has plenty of colour so that's why I'm proposing only white or all silver charms.

And the green murano, do you already have it or do you plan on getting it?
That's the only piece on the bracelet that somehow seems out of place... Perhaps you could consider another one, maybe field of daisies or whatever it is called.

Oh, and I completed my bracelet... The other day I went to the store intending to buy the white murano but instead came back with the orange one, the one with the flowers.

It goes really well with my teal muranos, the white one will have to wait I guess... I'll post pics once I'm happy with how I've rearranged everything.

Also, I have a question for those of you who have oxi bracelets. have they shown any signs of oxidation wearing away? I have noticed some light spots on mine... I knew it would happen eventually, but after measly two months?? :rolleyes: (I got it in April). I should add, I have not worn it every day, I decided to stop wearing it for the time being.

Hi everyone, I need your help. I pre ordered from a seller (who went to US last May 20 and will be back in my country by June 6) 2 pandora charms. The two tone bow purse charm (which according to her was bought from bloomingdales with gift receipt since out of stock in stores) & two tone family forever charm (which according to her was bought from the store with gift receipt). As of now, this is the only picture that I have when she update me that she already bought the pre ordered items. I will meet her when she gets back to get the charms and pay my balance. I just want to seek your advice on what to check with the said charms & gift receipt to assure that the items are authentic before I pay my balance. Where can I found the "ALE" "S 925"?

It would be nice also if those who have the two tone bow purse charm & two tone family forever charm post pictures so I can have an idea. Both charms are not available in my country that is why I opted to pre order. I googled the pictures but confused which of those images are authentic Pandora charms.

Thank you very much. Hope to receive your responses asap as June 6 is nearly approaching.

Thank You for replying iVALANI, I think i like the white daisy murano you suggested better! i am scared of the while enamel discolouring? Thoughts? I do not have the Green murano yet but really LOVE it, I think it might look more a part of the bracelet with the clips...If not then maybe the green leather bracelet needs to make it home with me during the promotion...i am going to tinker around with it some more, Thanks! :)

Anyone else's credit cards smoking from the promo? Mine needs to be put on ice for awhile as I have 2 Disney and one BVI trips coming up this fall! Anyway, I got the last charms and clips to complete my "baby boy" bracelet, as well as some extra fun tropical charms for a theme I'm working on- I snagged 2 silver barrel bracelets and my first bangle! Elisa Ilana is allowing phone orders and upgrades, as well as PandoraMOA (which sends everything so fast in nice individual boxes) and I also went to my local store. None of the 3 would allow for multiple free bracelets. I missed the March promo so I had to jump on these orders late :)

Well done :) now let your card sit fos a while!

I spent quite some time on Pandora's e-store, trying to figure out what to get for my birthday. Rings are tempting. I could get 6, or buy a set of Novobeads mini-CZ, in which case I could get 3 stacking rings from Pandora.
I really need to try those rings ;)
