I think there is an Essence thread somewhere, but to very active.
I don't care for that collection. I want to be able to buy a charm because of what it means to me, and not having the brand telling me what it is supposed to mean. I'd be interested in it if they removed the names of the beads.

That's exactly how I feel too Melora!

Me three!

I do have the bracelet with the gold clasp. I like wearing it without a charm on it. It looks nice stacked with a 2-tone watch. I can't bring myself to buy a charm because of the words. I guess I don't like advertising that I have Hope, Confidence, Trust or whatever.

Thanks everyone! I'm currently waiting for some clips to come I ordered from eBay and then a heart clasp bracelet from collectabead to officially start my second bracelet. So far I've had good luck ordering from eBay. Everything looks good and authenticated at the pandora store. I'm a little addicted to bidding [emoji85]

Sometimes I look at the pictures of stacked bracelets online and think wow so pretty, then I go to the store, try some on and always end up thinking not for me. They are just too dainty in person, not that impressive... although I do like the idea behind the symbolism and horoscope signs and all that.

I didn't get the chance to see them IRL, but they sure look pretty online

The charms are tiny and the bracelets very delicate. Although I do like that one that's made of tiny silver beads, the regular one not so much.

What do you guys think of the Pandora Essence collection?

I always wanted to start a pandora collection, but I get super indecisive and overwhelmed by the amount of options. I like the idea of the essence collection, but I don't see anyone talking about it.

Personally I love the a Essence collection. It's elegant and pretty and looks great stacked. I don't mind the meaning attributed to the beads though I don't always get them; eg I understand why energy is made of carnelian as that stone has attributes that can increase energy, but the health bead which is plain silver and rippled I don't understand.

Also, I just picked up the 'trust' bead as I liked the design and it was on sale (in Serbia, iValani) even though I wasn't so hot on the meaning in comparison to others. I'd like to get more essence bracelets to wear together.

I agree some don't really make a lot of sense. When I'm playing with the design app I find myself picking beads based on how they look more than the meaning.

I have had the same experience with Essence. I like the idea behind it and think they are really pretty. In the store, however, I feel like I need 4-5 bracelets stacked to make it look good, and then it looks kind of messy to me.

I wish they were just a tad bit less dainty!

Hey ladies, FYI I just came from The Container Store and they have their Stackers jewelry boxes 50% off!! I got myself the mink classic size set! It's perfect for storing my pandora collection and other jewelry too. Oh, and while I was in the area, I had all my latest loot authenticated at the pandora concept store. My charms from collectabead and another seller on eBay were all legit. Yay! Can't wait to get home and set up my new boxes!
