I have both Thomas Sabo and Pandora - bracelets and accessories. I'm not sure what the technical difference is when it comes to the quality of the metals. But I feel that TS is a better overall quality than Pandora. I love the enamels TS makes. They're gorgeous. They also have some wonderful design stules for men. That said - I like the designs of pandora more. So while I have both I do tend to wear my pandora more.

Thanks for your reply, Pksz. I would love to have Pandora too. But maybe not so soon. Hehe [emoji16] bags is still my priority lol

I started my bracelet with lots of Murano and colorful charms, and slowly turned it into mostly silver with a hint of color. The Murano charms are beautiful, but they made my bracelet uncomfortable for me. I would love a Rose Gold bracelet next...

The galaxy charm really is gorgeous. But yeah, cz and pave charms are definitely starting to outnumber the "simple" ones. From the autumn collection I like the forest fairy (the one sitting on a mushroom) and that's about it.

At least you like one! My wishlist only includes old collections and retired charms..

I'm sorry to say so, specially on a Pandora thread, but if you're not into CZs, Pandora is maybe not your best choice. I recently started to look at other brands for the same reason: almost nothing appeals to me in the new releases. Although I just got a Trollbeads bracelet, I feel the brand has a gothic vibe that I don't like that much. Ohmbeads however makes lots of silver beads that remind me of what Pandora was years ago.
As an exemple, here are my Christmas beads. All old non-CZ Pandora, except for Ohmbeads' Gingerbread.

Gingerbread is so cute. Does it fit on Pandora bracelet?

It is gorgeous, isn't it? Although it looks like it might catch on clothes, judging from the pics. I guess I'll have to wait and see it in person.
I also like that red enamel present charm from the winter collection, even though it has cz. :p And that winter holly murano would be much prettier if the colours didn't seem so dull. Could have been much more vibrant, there's too much brown and that shade of red is more like dark orange than red.

I just reviewed the upcoming winter 2015 charms. The Christmas collection has a beautiful charm called "Divine Angel." It's two-tone and just beautiful. Can't wait to put that on the wish list, as it's very classic Pandora (no pave)!

I already have the other angel, so I doubt I'll get this one.

I came across a store with a 50% discount on retired charms, and got a light green murano for 15€!

I read someone asking if 40 was too old for hearts? I'm north of 40 and here's my current bracelet:

Beautiful bracelets! I love hearts and I'm in my 40's. No rules to hearts which equals love. I got married at age 42 and hubby bought me a diamond heart necklace for our wedding day. Hearts equals love!

I need feedback ladies!

My plan is to build a bracelet that has a combination of silver and rose charms. Since the barrel clasp is rose and I hadn't bought charms yet, I decided to get two matching rose clasps that say "Pandora."

Going forward, I plan on getting a few more rose charms to mix in with the silver ones that I already have.

However, I'm having a dilemma! I am thinking of maybe switching one of the rose clasps to the rose CZ heart to give it more sparkle (and keeping one of the rose "Pandora" clasps I currently have).

OR.....

Should I switch the clips to silver and then get rose charms?

I don't know what it is but I feel like something needs changing!

I think your bracelet is beautiful as is, I really like the Folklore Murano as it has so many pretty colors in it, it really brings out the green in your owl and clover charms, and it has the pink color like Pandora Rose. The Pandora Rose plain clips are pretty, but if you like the rose sparkle heart clips better you should go for those, or one of each is okay too. Do keep in mind that smooth charms and clips can show more scratches over time than pieces that are textured or have a lot of pave.

Another option like you and others said is to get more neutral silver clips instead and buy rose charms. I think this is a good idea if you see Rose charms that appeal to you more than the 2 clip options. I prefer more neutral clips myself, as I change my bracelets frequently and don't keep them together. A set of silver clips could be used on this Rose bracelet, or easily switched to a future silver bracelet you end up making, and then you won't have to keep buying new clips for every design as they are easy to switch bracelet to bracelet without redo-ing the whole thing if you don't want to.

I love your bracelet. In the end I think we agreed that you are never too old for Pandora. :amuse:
