I'm the same as you when rearranging and picking out charms. I like this revision. To be symmetric, are you planning on getting another spacer for the left side of the center section?
I was thinking to get a second champagne lights spacer but not to put in the centre section. Just left and right of the bracelet.
Wow! I am so saddened by the disparaging remarks that have been made regarding the pretzel charm (meant to commemorate a trip to Germany or New York) and the wishbone charm (titled "make a wish"). It's one thing to tell the community that there is a collection of beads that you aren't attracted to, but it is another to make people feel embarrassed and uncomfortable because they have chosen or been gifted those beads.
There are beads on my bracelets that you may not enjoy (I have neither the pretzel nor the wishbone). I know there are beads on others bracelets that aren't my favorites (including my own mother's collection
), but we don't have to be mean.
Pandora is obviously making a change from beads that encourage symbolism to beads that are intended to be an actual object. We don't have to like them all. If you don't like them, don't buy them. Please don't be mean to others who love them. When we get new beads we are excited to share them on a forum where we all have a common love of things Pandora. It's not fun when there is so much negativity.
That's just my opinion. To each their own And I fully understand that by adding my two cents to this matter I am opening myself up to negative comments made by others. It's okay. I'm tough!:shame:

I agree! Pandora gives the opportunity to show your unique personality through their charms. I'm from NY and I love pretzels. I would wear the charm if it was gifted to me.
Great advice!! And I'm glad to hear about the ohm beads being evenly sized with pandora charms damage to my bracelet was my worst fear!
Considering getting the charm! But still hoping pandora will come out with breed charms.
I don't know if you guys saw my earlier post that mentioned charms for certain charities? Like how Alex and ani has a bracelet that the profits go to multiple sclerosis and a cancer profit bracelet. I would love if pandora did a charm for charities like this! I have someone very close to me with MS and I think it would be one of my most special charms!

Aw we're just having fun! No offense intended, of course each symbol is open for interpretation, that's the fun of charms! I think just taking the object out of context and seeing the thing for what it is on the surface is funny.
Sorry we sounded meaner than intended, I know I was just having fun at the designers' expense, not the collectors! Luckily each bracelet is more special than the sum of its parts
Leann of the CharmsAddict blog has a list of Pandora charity charms. I think most of them have been special edition and for the UK or Denmark. Scroll down in this link to Charity Charms:

In the U.S. Pandora released a series of charms to benefit breast cancer research about a year ago. Although I think most have been discontinued by now.
Their red poppy charm is intended to symbolize war veterans, and I believe the proceeds go to a British charity for veterans.
Hey girls. I changed out the diamond daisy for the he loves me charm. I want your guys' opinion. I'm waiting for more two tone charms to come out so I can fill it. But I chose the flower because it's special for me and my boyfriend. It symbolizes our flower, it's a crocus. It grows in my house all year round, it signifies that no matter what we can stay strong. Also reminds me to be strong in general.
Looks much better, more symmetrical!
They look very nice. Thanks for sharing as we rarely see other Pandor jewelry here.
Hiya, sorry if you think some of the comments were mean. We were only joking. I think we were trying to say that the design of those two charms seems (to some of us) out of context with some of the other charms available. No offence intended! XWow!

Oh dear looks like I've been a naughty girl!. Seriously it has never been my intention to offend let alone on a personal level. I am sorry if this has happened. Please let me defend myself. My detest for the wish bone charm was borne from the fact I thought it was a pair of pliers! and was merely highlighting and questioning pandoras designers and the randomness of objects that they were doing. But then the grey matter or lack of it got the better of me and got carried away. The error I made in the short time i have participated on this thread ( about 2 weeks). was that I had treated the ladies on here like my friends and collegues. The informal me came out the too much, the tongue and cheek sense of humour gets me in trouble! In hindsight I should have been a bit more intelligent and realise these ladies on here don't know me as much as I don't know them and that my comments can and will offend and that I should not assume they know i am joking. Going forward with this matter I think I should really do the right thing and ban myself from contributing as it was never my intention to have caused such negativity and unhappiness on here which I clearly have. I don't want ladies to feel uncomfortable or that they can not part take because they have "those charms" because they feel embarrassed. I hope by me going it will restore some harmony at least and, carry on the good work that has already been achieved. I have enjoyed my short lived time here immensely very thought provoking topics and lovely pics displayed. I have met some lovely ladies I go with a heavy heart. But I think is for the best. Love and best wishes to you all 
