Hellu, I need heeeelp! xD
Please share your experience on bringing pandora with you to the ocean. I'm going on a vacation soon, perhaps I'll just stay on the beach but I'm still afraid that my pandora might get "damaged"... lame I don't want to take anything off (it's my fault I know, I'm used to wearing my pandora 24/7) I have special cleaning cloth myself, and I know I can bring my bracelet and rings etc to pandora stores to have them cleaned, but I just thought I'd better ask here first if there's anything I didn't know.

Pandora recommends to remove jewelry for shower or bath.
I remove everything when I go to bed, but also when I go either in the ocean or in a pool.
Although Pandora recommends not showering or bathing with jewelllery I know many who do and its fine. Personally I would not wear it in the pool due to the chlorine but I have showered with it on. Not everyday but on ocassion. Having said that I would also wear it in the ocean - again not everyday but during a vacation if you dont feel like taking it off. Pools however is a definite no no for me. Too much chlorine may damage the silver.
I would definitely not wear any of my charm bracelets in water. If you are just hanging at the beach not going in the ocean that's fine, but if you are actually swimming, why chance it? Might be okay if you have just silver charms but I don't think it would be good for pearls, Muranos, enamels (especially light colored), leather or fabric bracelets. Even pave, I'd worry prolonged water exposure could discolor or loosen the stones.
I wore two of my pandora bracelets with silver charms and murano to Cuba this past January. We spent two weeks swimming and snorkelling. It was fantastic. My bracelets were just fine. I was careful to rinse them thoroughly in the shower. They don't look any different now than pretrip.
This... The last thing I want to worry about when I'm relaxing at the beach is jewelry.
So only snug fitting rings or bangles for me or a bunch of those cute little leather bracelets that you can buy for one Euro.
Both the spacers and your bracelet are wonderful.
Has anyone ever accidentally got perfume on their pandora? What effect does it have on your jewellery? I have taken my pandora to the pools before and I will never do that again! It is not as shiny as it was before and the colour is slightly darker silver.
However, I wonder if that's just how the bracelet ages. I've had my full bracelet for 7 years now . Any thoughts on this?

I don't really know. But I cleaned all my silver jewellery 2 days ago by letting all sit in (warm-ish) soapy water for about an hour, then brushing a bit with a soft toothbrush, and finally rinsing and drying. The water became really gray, and everything looks nicer: no-brand, Pandora and Tiffany a-like!
Thank you so much for your input!
I'm dropping my pandora off now at the shop for cleaning. Hopefully they do a good job.
I go to Tiffany to clean my Tiffany but it's such a rip off cos we have to pay 15 dollars!
