I guess it's a matter of personal preference but over the years I have seen, both online and in person, some really lovely bracelets which have almost entirely consisted of plain silver charms and they can be really really pretty and classy. I would always opt for such a look rather than the one with too many bright charms or muranos.



Petite facets don't really look plastic but to me they appear lacklustre. I would never choose one of them over the muranos for example.

This is good feedback. Thank you!

Also, I'm just curious about your opinion in mixing metals.

My bracelet is a sterling silver barrel clasp with just one murano (folklore) and two charms (two-tone Apple and the silver owl with green eyes). Anyway, I chose the "Pandora rose" balls as clasps to warm up the look of the bracelet. What do u think of this combo?

When you say I chose, does it mean you've already bought them or you have chosen to buy them? I am still undecided about the rose gold charms, in terms of combining them with everything else. I haven't seen them in person but apparently they don't clash with the other charms, so if you like that rose gold look, go for it.
And also, as you slowly start to fill the bracelet, make sure to add one or two rose gold charms somewhere, to get an even and balanced look. For me, it would look odd if only the clips remain rose gold and the rest of the charms are either silver or two tone.

I have mixed feelings about the rose collection too.
I like my silver bracelet with only accents of color (few muranos, a touch of gold or enamel here and there).
I'm afraid a rose charm would be "too much", if you know what I mean? I'm more into two-tone charms, and I'd love for Pandora to make a silver/rose charm.

Right after I read your post I happened to look at the bracelet I was wearing and noticed a stone was missing from my Minnie pave clip! I couldn't believe it! So I'll head back to Pandora with my receipt and see what happens. It's only been a month that I've had it!

This is actually the reason why I prefer the more "solid" charms compared to the ones with stones :(

I would remove one or two charms (maybe the pendant ones) from the barrel clasp bracelet and put them on the bangle and I would leave the empty heart clasp bracelet at home and wear only the first two. I don't like when the bracelet is empty and the threaded sections are visible.

Thanks for the tip! I will give it a try. [emoji4]

Well I bought the rose clips five days ago because I personally felt that the bracelet looked too cold being all silver and the rose warmed it up.

I am very concerned about losing stones from the paves, so I was thinking that sticking to murano and a few rose charms would give the bracelet an interesting look.

Ok I just came back from Pandora....I was there to exchange my bracelet from silver barrel clasp to rise.

Anyway, the lady in front of me was doing a return. It was another case of a pave charm missing a stone. They returned it no problem, but it just affirms that I don't want to deal with that.
