Ok, I have a little bit of Christmas money to spend. I can get either a Murano for the third section of my bracelet, or a clip for the end.

I can only afford one or the other....so do I get a Murano to balance out the bracelet, or a clip for the end so it's easier to put on now that it's getting full? Please advise me! [emoji171]

Neither. Save the money for now, and spend during next promo ;)

I think another murano to balance it out. Looks beautiful though, even if choose not to doing anything else, those muranoes you have so much detail can look at them for ages.

The two new beads are the pave ones next to the purple oval lights on either end of the bracelet. Do you guys think they work on this bracelet? I'm in two minds.

Definetaly goes those pave👍great choice. I think a safety chain will complete the look off beautifully. Should be chuffed with this bracelet it's looks stunning! 😊

This has nothing to do with Xmas or the sales, but I recently managed to track down a third zebra murano which is now discontinued. I wish I'd bought these when they were available in stores so that I could match them. These three are not a perfect match but I am just happy to have them as they are now hard to find.

I think they look a perfect match! Well worth the time and effort finding it as it does complete the look and symmetry of this bracelet. Your doing well completing your bracelets 😄. Zebra and gold mix is such a elegant classy look. ☺

I've been admiring everyone's lovely Xmas Pandora stash over the last 2hrs catching up wish I could comment on everyone's without filling up the thread with my post😀. Well I didn't get any Pandora for Xmas 😢 looks like I have to buy my own horray😆. I shouldn't grumble as hubby bought me a new car more than I expected. Was thinking he got me a Dyson.
The pandora sales over here on boxing day was the crappiest ive experienced. Can't believe I had so little sleep thinking online Pandora sales will be worth the sleepless night 😂. Oh well get something from new collection.

Thanks Dinamit, I'll post pics when they arrive. It's definitely addictive, I'm collecting charms for 2 other bracelets, I was only planning on one :woot: I just thought it made good sense to buy a couple of extra charms that I loved, at a discounted price. They'll have to go away until I can justify the bracelets. :smile1:



I love this, it's gorgeous, I love the clasp, it's made me uncertain for the way forward for my black bracelet. I've just bought one black murano glass spacer but it looks much better with more.
Do most of you balance all your bracelets with at least one pair of charms/spacers?

I love your 2 new beads, I think they look gorgeous on this bracelet. I'd definitely keep them.

Thanks for your compliments. Personally, I like the balanced look, though this is the first bracelet where I actually bought two of each bead - previously I balanced using similar textures or materials e.g. A gold bead on each side. In a way this bracelet was much easier to complete but not sure I'll do that again, certainly not mirror image beads for the next bracelet, which will be a green one. The muranos in this one are fascinating avurescenet, if I remember correctly, and they are sparkly midnight blue - the picture does them no justice. I decided to keep the new beads :)

Your bracelet is gorgeous, the third zebra looks great in the middle, I think they match well. What are the cream coloured beads with the black dits called? They look brill, love them

Once again I'm in turmoil, I don't know whether to set up my bracelet with more twos, help.

Charms doubled up seem to work really well when there back. I'm going to stick with a mixture on my pink/ silver but love the balanced look of your bracelets.

Thanks again :). The White barrel beads are 790480EN12 and they are discountinued but you can probably still track them down. It's what I seem to be spending my Pandora time on, looking for gorgeous and now retired beads.

You could have some twos in your bracelet to balance out, e.g. Matching clips and perhaps another couple of pairs, and the rest all different beads. It's what I tend to do a lot, although my silver bracelet is a total hotch potch with mismatched clips etc and it looks more casual in a way. The beauty of Pandora is that you can always change the look if you don't like it :).

Thanks Missydora! Aww it's good to have you back, missed you! ;)

At first I wasn't sure about these two beads as they are not what I had in mind for this bracelet. I was after some solid silver instead of pave, but I think they work. They make me think of Xmas decorations.

I will get a pair of spacers to complete the bracelet, I like the tree bark ones, as they have a similar texture to the clips. Hopefully they will work.

Thank you :). The gold does look good with zebra; much better in real life. My pictures always look dull; I need photography lessons from you! I think the problem is that I never take them in natural light, as I only have the time when kids are in bed :-D.

I am so glad you said that! My local store sale was the crapiest ever too! When I asked them about it, they said it's pretty much like an average Pandora sale, but I know that not to be true. Last year this time I got the gold safety chain in the sale and there was a lot more choice. I thought I was late but I think the offering was poor in general. I went to the Oxford St flagship and it was pretty much the same - three trays of rubbish. Apparently they had queues going round the block on Boxing Day. I saw your gold clips on Pandora.net for £99 each but didn't feel like spending that much right now. I just bought those two pave beads, the purple smooth leather bracelet, which I'm in two minds about returning, and a cpl of cheap n cheerful essence beads. Did you get anything at all?

Wow, a new car! You must be so chuffed :). Beats a Dyson! ;)
