I also wanted something in green/blue to stack with a Tiffany bracelet. I think I've learned my lesson and just purchased one green petite facet charm and added it to my bangle with the blue clips, happy with the simplistic end result of this one.

You should definetly atleast try how silver charms would look between muranos and other blue thingies. I bet they would be spectacular. Mystic pave flowers perhaps or what was the name.... the ones that look like galaxy?

Honestly, I like it also the way it is right now. we are twins with blue cz murano (I have one), funny that I never tried it with my oxy bracelet - it seems so obvious now. If it was mine bracelet I would put muranos immidiately after clap - but we do not want exactly same bracelets? Ha - I planned to use my murano for summer, between angelfish and starfish charms.

I love you statement green little facet. I have my statement in pink and wear it with my oxy bracelet with twirl clips.

I prefer it with less charms and the pave clips. I just love the radiant heart, that has to stay.

I prefer this one. So, I would just drop the muranos, if I were you.

Or maybe this version...........

I've ordered a couple of silver openwork charms, perhaps that will tone it down?

This time I actually like all those combinations, but if you have to choose then I find hard to combine that murano with other beads (never had this problem with pink facionated, white looking glass and cherry blossoms).

On the other hand it looks perfect on its own. Like see in the summer with its colour and boubles inside.

My bracelet today:

These both look lovely, I've not tried mixing my two tone charms with silver but you've definitely made it work well. I think the blue works well on the Oxy, I also wear mine with pink.

I've already ordered the openwork flower charm you have and also the silver galaxy openwork. I dont know why but I really like the clips on yours but not on mine :wacko: Lol I don't think I'd go too far wrong copying yours, I doubt we'll ever end up sitting next to each other ;)

I get so many Pandora ideas in my head but they never seem to quite work, it's starting to drive me nuts :pullhair: the trouble is there are so very many I love.

I came across this picture whilst looking for blue charms.

So maybe mine wasn't too blue after all? :drool: I'm pretty sure I couldn't carry it off quite this well :giggles:

Plus I can't help but think as soon as she puts her arm down, they'll end up in a heap :rolleyes:

They will end up in a heap. The problem with these advertisement photos is that they are staged and sometimes make us believe that charms stay put at the exact same spot they are placed, which never happens in real life.

Oh my I do not mind at all, I am only flattered if I inspired you but honestly it is a two way street I copy yours also Should we ever end up with same bracelets, it would be a team work ;)

I have 3 twirls and as they are retired, they were last ones and have different oxydation levels. The darkest one looks the best.

I know about the madness as I am a bit troubed-minded and have a thing for perfection. Honestly your bracelets look gorgeous. Try to let it go and have all different charms do not double even one, for a week - It could help to let the maddness go a bit.

As I wrote earlier, at one point It just happened that I was finally content with my charms and stopped buing (I still have a wish list, but I feel that I can wait and see). I think it happened after I made a peace with that I can have different bracelet each day. I choose few beads and go with them - I do wear full bracelet at home (and I am starting to love it too)

Yes I agree, window displays are the same with everything in perfect place. I think that was my disappointment with Pandora, after creating a bracelet, it just didn't look the same when worn.

I still seem to be searching for something which can't be achieved. I've realised I prefer the look of a less full bracelet but the charms just don't stay put. I love my essence bracelet but the charms are so limiting which is why I'm looking forward to the new smooth bracelet coming out.

Have you tried to put carefully small elastic under the beads? I am searching for those and will try if I find one (not pandora stoppers, ordinary tiny-tainy plastic bands). I read the tip in older thread. When I have 2-3 beads in each section, it us amost the same - they do move around but there is still enough space to peep and they are not all together.
