HELP, advice needed.........................I've been busy collecting quite a few charms. This is shown with seven at the front between the spacers. There are also a couple of charms after the spacers but they've fallen to the inside.

There is no movement to the bracelet whatsoever now. It doesn't hang freely and won't twist around. I'm a bit disappointed really as I can't get any more charms on and the only view you ever get is the front so not much point in filling it anyway :nogood:

I went with a 19 as recommended by the SA. I know they give a bit but is it likely to give that much? I've actually got too many charms for the bracelet :panic: and think I need another bracelet or there just sit in the drawer.

I've stacked it here with my Nicole Barr wild rose bracelet & diamond bangle. I was trying to show off the colours against my lovely purple LV Speedy but sadly the colours didn't come out well. It's such miserable dark weather :sad:

Bangle moves around freely in my opinion with even a few charms on or full. With a bracelet when it is full in one section and partially full or empty in others, it does not move around much, rather the heaviest part of the bracelet is always at the bottom of the wrist exposing the semi full or empty parts at the top along with the clasp. As you fill the bracelet, it feels good on your wrist, you get that movement!

Lovely bracelet(s). If you want movement, try transfering some of the charms you have on the front to the sides. I also wear a 19cm and generally fit 5 items, depending on the bead size, in the front section between the clips and there is usually some movement. You could fill the sides in a similar way to prevent the beads from falling to the back, but not totally full so that they can't move. Btw, bunching charms in one section will usually cause it to stretch, but if you feel that you have been missold your size, you could always try going back to the store for a swap. Enjoy building your bracelets!

Thanks for the tip, I'm going to try to re-distribute and see how I get on :smile1:

Has anyone got a double or triple leather bracelet? I'm so disappointed with how they hang with charms :tdown: They are falling to the bottom, I wanted to space them randomly. I've been into store today and they've given me the little plastic spacers to go under the clips. Hoping that will make a difference.

How do you wear your double & triples, could someone post some pictures. Perhaps they look better just stacked? I don't really like the way they cross over either.

Do the charms stay put on the Essence bracelets?

Wow! Such beautiful bracelets since I last logged in :D
Very impressive ladies.

I could really do with some advice regarding an angel wing charm. I would like to add one to my collection (as my bracelet has charms which all mean something significant to me), and angel wings represent something very special to me.

But I can't decide between the two! Which one do you think?
Here is a photo of my bracelet.

The options are;
The angel heart bead- http://diamond-deals.co.uk/shop/pa791751/?gclid=CM_cy5TIpcoCFQbnwgodIT8N8w

Or, the angel wing dangle charm-

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. For Christmas I got an essence bracelet with a gold "Intuition" charm on it. I really love it and have been wearing it pretty much nonstop. However, last week when I was at work, I noticed that it was not on my wrist! It was a moment of horror! Luckily someone had picked it up and I found it sitting on the table in the lunchroom! Thank heaven! I thought I must have not closed the clasp properly. A few days later I am at home, sitting on the couch and . . .horror again!. . .!! It was not on my wrist! I looked around and found it sitting on the couch. Again! Thank heaven! This time I was sure it HAD been properly secured because I had it on for days! I'm afraid to wear it now and plan on taking it back to see if they will replace the bracelet. The gold charms are too expensive to risk losing! Anyone heard of a faulty clasp?

I've been interested in purchase an Essence bracelets as I was told the charms stay put. Is that right, or so they still mice about?

I don't like the thought of it falling off though :nuts:

I got a new rose gold bracelet over the weekend. It was brand new, but does it also mean why it is so stiff too? I cannot remember my first new bracelet was this stiff. The shop assistant said not to worry as it is brand new so it is supposed to be stiff, and after some wearing, it will soften a lot and will be more flexible. Is that true ladies?

Beautiful! I just got a same rose gold bracelet like yours. Can I ask if yours came quite stiff in the first place? Coz mine is. Not sure if I should take it back to the store or not. Thanks.

It's true, they'll loosen and maybe stretch with regular use.

This is good to know as I'm having the same problem

I took mine back into store yesterday, Lol the SA said people don't usually fill them that quickly :blushing: I was impatient, WOW it is addictive.

I've spaced them out a little better now, six between the spacers and three at each end, seems to be working far better. Thanks Dinamit , worked a treat :tup:Its left a gap at each side of the wrist, which looks far better, there's slight movement up and down but it doesn't turn around at all................feeling far happier with it now.


I'm gradually collecting for my gold/silver, which is going to have an individual theme and personal meaning to each charm.

I was also impressed as I left some older charms with them for a complimentary in store clean. I didn't know they did this :D
