The PANDORA thread

[Mulberrygal]

The dragonflies are really lovely it looks better in real life the light was very poor today thats england for you will try get a better picture, I think it picks out the similar shape on the lace botanique well. I'm not too sure if I will keep the pave yet :/ someday's I like them other days not sure!! I really wanted to get on with the muranos they look so nice on everyones bracelet perhaps I just didn't try the right ones today, the flower ones are delicate looks lovely on your bracelet I'm sure there sick of me in the shop takes a while. I tried different combinations black golden didn't try any of the flower ones ;/ also when we were putting them on only did one side, with the lack of other charms sometimes hard to see the finished result. Wont be away from shop for long will try again!! it's good we can chop and change them so all is never lost, your bracelet is so nice :0 wish mine had full charms

Oh you sound like me, I'm always struggling to decide which ones to add and put where I know just what you mean about in store, they definitely get fed up with me and there is always a shop full of people they never want to spend anytime with you, just sell something and get onto the next customer. There are too many combinations to try and I randomly try other colours for different combo's I have in my head. I took pics of all the ones on display I liked last time for "research" :giggles:

I've over ordered online several times for that reason. I know you've got to pay the money out and wait for a refund but at least you can fiddle about and try them differenct ways

I think the white flowers with single gold heart maybe?

I think once it's full be easier to add the colour to the bracelet hopes anyway. shop is full and you do feel a bit rushed in there, I ordered the apples online at there e store, the next one I would like to do -she says not evening finishing this one 😂 Is dark blue with silver star theme. You do end up eat sleep thinking Pandora least we can change them ☺️

Finally I got the two tone dragonflies today ☺️ They are beautiful love so much they look amazing on the bracelet, super happy �� had a look at muranos still not sure which way to go I think that it's quite delicate look so I may leave them out on this one I tried a few but to me they just look big, the woman in the shop was of the same opinion, it's coming along now nicely the bracelet what do you think ?

bottom picture ideas for rest of the bracelet

Love the dragonflies! Your bracelet is so balanced. Nice job!

This is my Two tone and have decided to wear it like so in Spring and Summers and in Fall and Winters will use my Fascinating Adventurscent ( Sparkly Midnight Blue) muranos two -removing the two Abundance of Love Openworks and the Field of Dasies murano, whilst adding the "Joined Together "Openworks Charm to the Fascinating muranos. Would the bracelet look balanced with the two muranos and an openwork in the center?!? will post a pic! Any opinions will be appreciated! Yet to buy the Joined Together Openworks Charm.

And have designed a smaller day to day silver version with a bangle, waiting on the bangle to arrive, will post pics when i get it!

Fall/Winter look, does it look balanced? Not sure about two muranos on there but i don't have a third Murano that is the same...

It's gorgeous, your's is my favourite two tone bracelet, your charms look fabulous together. I remember now it was you who inspired me to buy two field of daisies muranos

I love the look of your autumn/winter bracket. The black muranos look great IMO and we'll balanced with the heart at the centre. I also have these two black muranos, so you've given me more ideas to work with

 

[Mulberrygal]

When taking pictures of a bracelet they look gorgeous when they are balanced out well. However does anyone else not find if you have a fairly full bracelet it moves around as soon as it's worn and looses the need to be symmetrical.

I've filled one of my bracelets but I prefer the look of only a few charms and wearing them balanced. I'm currently creating my red one and also have a few charms for a blue and a couple of retired twirl blue clips, just need something for the centre. Any ideas, I will try and pits some pics

Help please ullhair:

Hi, I've recently purchased a used Moments Signature clasp bracelet but can't find the ALE or S925.

Please would someone be kind enough to advise if they have one and it is still hallmarked like this? Someone has said they just think they are marked Pandora on the outside as there is nowhere inside the pave clasp to hallmark..

I have the heart pave clasp bracelet and this is hallmarked inside on the plain side but the signature clasp has both sides paved and inside it's perforated and I'm sure it would be difficult to hallmark

Thank You!! It's so sweet of you to say all these lovely things! And thank you for your response, its reassuring. I have been agonizing over what to do with my Fascinating Aventurescent Muranos, and even thought of building a silver bracelet around it, but i love the two tone look so much more, so this is what i came up in the end and was worried if the Two Tone will look balanced with just the two muranos and an openwork in the middle. Seems like it will work after all!

That's what i love about this forum and this thread in particular, we all come here looking for ideas; sharing our creations; seeking opinions, support and appreciating the opinions and creativity of every individual that contributes!

Yes it's great being able to bounce ideas off each other. I have my fascinating Aventurescent Muranos ( didn't know they were called that, love the name) on my Oxy bracelet with black dangly heart and cherry blossom but I'll definitely be trying them on my two tone.

I also have silver brackets, I guess it depends what else you wear as what you go for. I love stacking the silver with a diamond bracelet and a white gold bangle I have. Pandora looks so good stacked. I quite often wear my pave heart clasp bracelet without any charms.

Lol, I know I've got it bad........quite often if I can't get to sleep I rearrange my beads in my head, I'm soon relaxed & zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I've also been stalking the Pandira store and taking pics of the designs in the window. Whenever I come across a setup I like on here and that's quite often I save the pictures all together for ideas.

the bracelet on my arm

Very pretty.

I love the Dragonfly charm, it's on my wish list for my two tone bracelet. It's so eye catching, the gold really stands out on it. I think your bracelt looks gorgoeus but I do like to see Muranos, someone suggested the field of daisies charm. It's very neutral and I loved it so much with my two tone bracelet I got two of them.

I don't find they look big at all and I love the way they add different shape, colour and texture to my bracelets.

This is one of my favourite muranos, goes with everything.

I think it can still be genuine without the S as long as it's got ALE & 925. I believe the older silver charms originally came with just 925 but I'm definitely not an expert. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong

I'd take it into Pandora but if you can get a clear enough picture someone suggested to me putting it on the Pandora Facebook page, apparently you usually get a helpful answer..........good luck anyway, I hope it's genuine.

I'm getting very wary of EBay now, I received another fake charm yesterday ullhair: it didn't even have ALE on it after being told it did, quite clearly a fake. I paid quite a lot for it and they had the nerve to offer a discount if i keep it. I should have insisted on seeing a photo but she had good feedback. I thinks lame of the fakes are getting so good a lot of buyers don't even realise they've bought one.

Ahh, so sorry. I agree about the fakes getting better and better, that's really annoying.

This is my Two tone and have decided to wear it like so in Spring and Summers and in Fall and Winters will use my Fascinating Adventurscent ( Sparkly Midnight Blue) muranos two -removing the two Abundance of Love Openworks and the Field of Dasies murano, whilst adding the "Joined Together "Openworks Charm to the Fascinating muranos.

Rose, it's stunning. So is the version with 2 black muranos but I like this one better.

This is my look for today. One of my upcoming projects is a green bracelet, but until Pandora decides there are other shades of green apart from grass green and teal I decided to combine my green muranos with pink. Pink/green is a nice colour combination.

Yes it's a pain with so many fakes, the seller has been reasonable and is paying for the return, as of course they should but you can so often get someone being difficult.

Had a bad week with EBay, I also purchased a more or less new 20cm bracelet. I wear 19 with a few charms but prefer 20 when there's more. It's arrived and is actually a 21cm and way too big for me so I think I've definitely had it with EBay

I love the green you've added to your bracelet it looks lovely with the pink. I'm looking to add a small amount of green to one of mine as I want to wear it with a Tiffany blue/green but not quite sure if these greens will go, I'll need to try them out in store.............yours looks stunning.

 

[iVALANI]

Then these I think, they would go well with the Tiffany shade of blue.

Thank You iVALANI! Would you recommend another murano or bead for the centre with my Fascinating Aventurescent Muranos? They look black but actually are a blue with glitter in them..

Pink and Green do make a lovely combination, i especially love how the Field of Daisies Murano literally goes with so many colors! I think you have had it on all your bracelet designs, changing the colors surrounding it..

 

[iVALANI]

Thanks Rose. Yes, I regard it as a neutral colour or white actually, and pair it with all other muranos.
Re. your bracelet, I think that the two tone heart is actually quite a striking central charm but I tend to put odd number of muranos on my bracelets (either 1 or 3), don't know why. So for the third murano on your bracelet I would either put something very similar to the ones there such as this one...

Or something completely different and not so dark, like any of the pink or purple muranos.

Or maybe even that golden murano, dark blue and yellow go well together...
