The PANDORA thread

[iVALANI]

I know!!! It's gorgeous! I want that one too![emoji171]

Yeah. Did you see that the background seems to be brownish? More natural choice would be green or white imo, but still I hope it doesn't distract too much from the flowers.

I'm kind of new to Pandora but not charms. I have a ton of ohm beads but saw the pave barrel clasp bracelet and fell in love. I was wondering do you mostly stick to the same brand or keep the charms on the same brand bracelet? Is it a faux pas to stick ohm beads or think geek beads on a pandora bracelet? Does it void the warranty

In my country only Pandora is available. Which I am grateful for otherwise I would've been bankrupt long time ago.

Lovely! I am falling in love with gold core muranos... Such a pitty that they are retired.

I do not trust e-bay and we have non of them left in local stores (no outlets), so there is no way for me to get them.

Angela Pandora, don't give up on eBay☺️ yes, you have to be careful, but sometimes there are genuine charms are up for sale by private sellers. This is how I have got my murano charm with gold. It is absolutely authentic, all the stamp marks are in place and I want to buy more of same design in different colours. But again, you have to be so careful and check and double check the seller, the charm.. I would not buy any other charm on eBay, there are so many fakes!😐

There are so many fakes on there, it totally spoils it for all the genuine sellers. It's very difficult to identify from the pics if they are fake and they all bear the Pandora hallmark now. I don't think you can tell by the sellers feedback as lots of buyers don't even realise they are fake until it's too late and the coating wears away or you have it cleaned and they all end up patchy

I've previously needed up with fakes but last week I tried again with two retired charms, it wasn't easy to identify but they were fake and all went back

I also purchased a bracelet that turned out to be larger than the size stated. It was too big and I had hassle returning and certainly didn't see why I should pay for return postage, when it wasn't as described.

So I've had it with Pandora on EBay unless they are able to do something about it. The ridiculous thing is the price the fakes sell for, mostly well over half price, just a few pounds less

My Pandora..

Wow! Beautiful! I really like the pink theme colour.

I totally agree, too many fakes in there I guess, I did buy my gold murano charm a while ago and maybe then it was not that popular and there were no fakes. But I did order the Seattle charm afterwards and it was fake, posted back. Since then I buy the charms only in the store, at least I know then they are genuine

My dear husband surprised me with new charms: heart padlock and the swan from my wish list and my first tiny spacer with cz hearts (he picked this one himself). I am not too into hearts, but if my DH chose them, then I have to love them. The heart padlock was one that I did preapprove by adding it to my wishlist.

He was actually not so nice. He waited forever when I was playing with my other new charms that I bought for myself, asked several times if I had finished and only after I was finnaly happy with my arrangement - I think it took a hour atleast- he went to the other room and brought my surprise. He said that: "good for you that you finished, now you can start all over!". Well I didn't mind too much. I've rearranged my blue bracelet and changed few charms. Today I wore 3 charms and clips on my leather bracelet. Those 3 are very bling.
The stars charm is also picked by my husband (a gift for christmas).

I feel that I am happy with my collection now, I love all my charms and I do not need anymore for now. I have 3 bracelets, one full, one half-full, the leather one to compliment or wear with just few charms and essence neclace. It took exactly 3 month to collect them thanks to the promotions.

It's a lovely bracelet, the blue theme looks great. DH has just purchased me the radiant heart at the airport and I have the same same clips as you. I'm looking forward to getting home and arranging my blue bracelet. I think the swan looks lovely against the radiant heart, looks very pretty I'm annoyed with myself as I missed an opportunity to buy the blue two tone star charm in the sale and wish I'd gone for it now.

What colour radiant hearts did you get?

I do like the two-tone blue stars charm, but I must say that it is hard to figure out, which charms to put next to it. It doesn't seem to go with anything perfectly. It gives me a head ache to arrange it in my bracelet.

Thank you x. I always thought my Pandora is a bit chaotic as many charms came from family and friends, so was not coordinated at all

Yes, I noticed that too. I have the Wildflower Murano and in some photos it shows up with a lot of brown, but in real life, mine has a lot of green.

I'm hoping that the Flower Garden Murano will also have more green than brown!

I got the blue one as I'm trying to put together a predominately blue bracelet. I wasn't sure as I love the purple but already have a few purple and too many pink

I know what you mean about a headache, sometime it just doesn't seem to come together but I think it looks great where you have put it.

Hi ladies, wanted to share my bracelet and join your beautiful thread. Didn't wear it for a long time, but now found out I still like Pandora for casual pieces and even bought a couple new charms.

SA said yesterday its very dark, but I love the old vintage Pandora styles, pity I don't have too many of them. Kind of chaotic, but personal.

Please welcome

I am very curious about that new smooth bracelet which isn't divided into sections. Don't know what to think until I see it in person, I am so used to my clips and like that they stop the charms from moving when the bracelet is not full. I'll have to see how it works in person.

And mora pandora says here that the flower garden murano has been moved to summer. :cry: So disappointed about that...

Yei! Twins in radiant heart and clips then

Thank you, I appreciate it. I do not wear it like that for everyday look though, this arrangement is quite bold and I wear it for going out or occasions. It looks more humble with silver bracelet - I have discovered that most of Pandora charms stand out with oxydised bracelet.
