The PANDORA thread

No. Why, did something happen to yours?







I won't go to the store until next week and then I'll see in person but for me it's pretty clear from all the promo pics that they have a shiny finish... I am liking those droplet rings more and more, especially stacked, the way they have been presenting them in the promo pics. Aren't they gorgeous...?

I personally didn't like these rings in person and I'm a ring fiend that owns so many rings. They didn't look as bright as pictures

Wearing two bracelets concerns me, though, and I can't handle not wearing them both if I have them both!

:giggles:
I'm the same way about charms. I am long past the period when I was able to wear all my charms on the bracelet so now I'm always sorry about those that need to stay in the box.

Kuriso, all my charms are in one medium sized Pandora box while the bracelets are with the other jewelry.

Ok my head is overwhelmed with ideas right now regarding the free bracelet promo.

My current bracelet is full, so I was thinking of getting the white field of daisies clip and the dahlia clip, then picking the pace heart clasp for my bracelet (of course paying the extra cost of the bracelet since it's over the allotted amount.

Wearing two bracelets concerns me, though, and I can't handle not wearing them both if I have them both!

That makes me think about starting an essence bracelet, but I hate the idea of the silicone stoppers and all the problems that might come with them!

I always wear more than one bracelet. I like the look with one with charms with one without and also the Essence worn simple with one bead. I then usually stack them with another bracelet or bangle.

I tried my white daisy spacers/ clip with my rose gold bracelet & charms. I moved the rose gold clips along until I get more rose charms. I'd not planned to wear it with white but I guess that's the beauty of Pandora. I got the idea from a window display and am really pleased with the result.

Has anyone in the UK seen the free bracelet offer, we don't seem to get many offers here

 

[Mulberrygal]

Lol, we definitely aren't getting the free bracelet over here I just googled it, all we got was a free jewellery box when you spent over £125

It seems most people that received them put them straight on EBay

Hmmm.... Ok another question. I REALLY want that Dahlia clip. If I replace the Dahlia clip with my Rose Pandora clip, can I put the Rose Pandora clip somewhere else in my bracelet like it was a charm?

Or do you guys think the Dahlia clip can be put in the bracelet like a charm?

If so, then I can wear the pace heart clasp bracelet empty next to my full bracelet.

 

[Crystalina]

Or do I skip all that and start an Essence bracelet?!LOL

OMG I'm obsessed![emoji12]

One more thing...

Do most of you consider your bracelets to be "finished" once they are completely full?

Or do you usually only fill them up half-way and then start a new one?

I think the dahlia clip is beautiful, I've not seen it ITF but the colour looks like it will go beautifully with rose.

Yes you can definitely just use any of the clips as a charm if they are loose on the bracelet. This is what I've done here, replaced the rose clips with the white daisy clips and moved the rose ones up to use as charms until I can balance it better with another couple of charms. I'd planned to keep it all rose but I do like it with the white, so will leave it for now.

The pave heart bracelet looks gorgeous without charms, stacked with other bracelets.

Lol, like you I've got plenty of Pandora thoughts I've more than one bracelet on the go but have come to the conclusion I prefer only a few charms on each. That is other than my two tone which is nearly full and I will consider it finished when I've got no more room.

Initially I planned on only one bracelet and thought I'd move the charms to and fro but it is quite a hassle to change the whole lot so I picked up a couple of extra pre-loved ones. I'm really pleased I did as one has relaxed more and looks quite different.

Thank you, I'm so near completing it now. I've not worn it yet as it's for my Birthday in May. I've been searching for charms and DH has been buying them whenever they come up. Left to his own devices, I expect he would have just gone and picked one already prepared. I'm really thrilled with the result and never expected to manage to collect so many by now but have come across some very good offers

Whilst I was unsuccessfully googling elastic to stop the charms moving I came across an article on replacing the clasp. It looked very simple and it occurred to me to swap clasps over. I saw a damaged two tone bracelet sell really cheaply on EBay, I didn't think of it at the time but I'm sure that's what the buyer would have done.

Thank you for the relies iVALANI and Mulberrygal!

For the bracelet promo, I'm trying to decide which option to go for.

Here's a current pic of my almost full bracelet (which has room for 2 more charms).



If you were me, would you:

1. Finish filling this bracelet up with two more charms (Dahlia clip and Galaxy charm) and get the pace heart bracelet in the promo to wear empty with the full one

2. Don't finish filling this up---get the Dahlia clip and Darling Daisy Meadow clip to put on the pace heart clasp bracelet in the promo

3. Leave current bracelet as is with s bit of wiggle room and start an Essence bracelet (but 2essence charms now and get an essence bracelet with the promo)

4. None of the above! (Suggest something else)

TIA!!!![emoji171]

I've been working on an all gold one for several years, and each charm has a special significance. I only have a few charms left to add before the bracelet is full, and I will then consider it " finished". I have enjoyed wearing it throughout the process, even in the very beginning when it only had a few charms, clips, spacers on it. I've enjoyed the project and love how it's evolved.

Yes, Dahlia can be placed anywhere on the bracelet. I do it all the time with my clips, wear them in places not foreseen for clips.

I never consider my bracelets full and I constantly rearrange and move the charms.

Option number 2. I think this one is already full of quite striking pieces so I would leave it like this.
Re the Essence bracelets... I am still resisting them.

Thank you for the feedback!

Are you resisting the Essence bc of the design of them (previous issues with clasps, silicone stoppers) or bc you prefer the moments charms?
