I finally got my charms! They arrived yesterday and the package had been opened (probably by customs) and not closed again very well so I am just happy they arrived intact. I ordered some more today and noticed that my address showed UK as my country instead of Canada so I am sure that's why they took so long to arrive. And they are lovely, I got 3 orange flower muranos, 1 blue ponds, 1 harmony Chinese symbol and 1 10k gold anchor dangle.


The price is so reasonable, it's so hard just to order a couple since all the ones I am looking for are retired. I'm afraid they will be gone forever if I don't scoop them up quickly. We never have sales in Canada, why I don't know. I know my local jeweller seemed a little miffed that I am getting great deals on Pandora and voiced their skepticism on their authenticity. It's their own fault for shipping all their retired charms back to Pandora. And now I can get them at a reduced price! Ha!

Where did you order from, if you don't mind me asking?? I also live on Canada - impossible to find sales!

I like both, but I would be a nervous wreck wearing gold charms on a leather bracelet. I would be scared of losing them.

So happy for you that your goodies have arrived at long last! :smile1: I bet you are having so much fun too, creating and adding to your collection. So it was customs wanting a sneak preview and having wrong country stated that kept you waiting bet it's a relief now that everything turned out ok. Plus now you have tried and tested jewel first you have a extra avenue to get the beads you really want at a cheaper price too Yippee :D:D. That bead I have next to the zig zag murano is a two tone chamillia branded one, my hubby bought me for our 15th year wedding anniversary it was also the first two tone I had ever got so I tend to put it on every bracelet. Has sentimental value even though it's a pain to clean. Like it's the worse one to get clean out of all the beads the polishing cloth is literally looks rough and ragged having to really work digging into the lines and crevices. Enjoy your goodies fuzzy mummy ;)

Thanks, it was a relief when they arrived. So happy with my purchase. I have corrected my address so future purchases aren't sent on a wild goose chase.


That is a gorgeous bead, no wonder it is one of your favourites. Can you soak it in warm soapy water like Dawn and clean with a baby tooth brush?

I ordered from Jewel First a UK company. The deals are fabulous since most are retired charms. I paid 17.50 pounds each for muranos which is about 30.50 CDN, so not bad at all. And a 14k anchor dangle for 50.00 pounds which is about 87.00 CDN. That charm is 145.00 in Canada.


It really burns me that we never get this kind of sale and you get stonewalled when inquiring in a store. I feel like all SA's have been instructed to suggest all online purchases are counterfeit; only those bought from a bricks and mortar store are genuine. Even when I mentioned Charm Junction which is a legitimate online Canadian supplier of Pandora I get the dismissive sniff! There a lots of people who don't live close to larger urban areas that sell Pandora in-store so I don't know what their problem is.

We don't have Dawn and clean in the uk. But I've tried soaking in very mild detergent and use tooth brush but it don't seem to get the very tarnished bits off but it does make the other silver areas very shiny. The little pandora silver polishing cloth seems to be the only thing that really gets off the stubborn tarnish that won't come off.

I was at Frankfurt airport few times, loved the pastries and sandwiches they sell there. German bread is one of the best!
