The PANDORA thread

[AngelaPandora]

I have tried to use little loom bands under openwork charms, so they do not move around, but the loom bands show through a little and I do not like it. Therefore I am still in the search for transparent smaller ones.

Oh, what a shame you live that far away from there �� we live in Northampton, so was quite easy to get there. To be honest my mind was mainly fixed on burberry this time, so I have popped in to Pandora as it was almost opposite the burberry store. I did not buy much, just that charm in the middle of my picture, it has got pink enamel and I did like the dangling bit. Was only 10 pounds. But my little one bought herself a few charms, all silver ones. There were hot air balloon, Chinese girl and the ball one with zirconium, she paid 50 pounds all together and I know that just the zirconium one would cost 55 pounds at full price. My main Pandora bracelet is almost complete, I did enjoy collecting the beads and most of them has got meaning. So I would advise do not hurry it up, buy the ones you remember the places, the people.. Enjoy!☺️

Charms at £10 that's amazing and so frustrating I've purchased the majority of mine with a discount but nothing like that.

I see you have have some beautiful gold charms, did they have any at the Outlet? I guess it will definitely be worth the trip if so, the gold ones are horrendously priced. DH has promised me the bracelet when we go on holiday as they are tax free at the airport That one will definitely be an ongoing work in progress My two tone has just fallen into place quicker than expected and all the charms have meaning but I've also created other coloured ones that are just pretty

Lol, your daughter is very lucky to have such a lovely Mum, that takes her shopping at Bicester Village

When I've been before it was for Mulberry bag on extra discount weekends etc, so well worth the hassle but even then they do mail order so it's easier to just phone and place an order. What did you get at Burberry.

Hi ladies, I have got one more Pandora bracelet, which is pink leather and is double length. I just started collecting the charms for it, but I find it does not look right with a few charms on. All the charms gather in one place on one loop and it is just wrong. With the silver bracelet was easy to sort it out as have got stoppers. So I am wondering if there is any solution out there, please?

You can still use the Clips Gravitsap, Pandora can supply you with little rubber stoppers that will fit under the clip on a leather bracelet to stop it moving. Mine have always been FOC when in store but you can buy them in EBay etc. I think you're only supposed to have about 5 charms tho. I still find they fall to the bottom, I've given up with charms and just wear them plain, stacked with the clasp at the top.

I'm really liking my blue bracelet now the two openwork charms have arrived. :giggles: the charms are growing although I'd planned minimal, I just feel I need something between the blue mural spacer and blue barrel vine charms.

Any ideas? I'm loving the glitz on this one and feel comfortable adding more.

I'm considering getting the pave heart clasp bracelet and wearing it plain with two clips, no charms.

I have read in several places that this bracelet is stiffer and can wear more like a bangle.

If this is true, then the clasp will serve as my charm and the two matching clips should help the bracelet keep its structure.

Regarding the clips, do you think the new feathered clips would look good?

Or should I try a clip in Pandora Rose?

I love the feathered clips, I think they go with just about everything.

Yes, you can ask the ladies at the Pandora store to give you those small rubber stoppers that you can put under clips. That way you fix them wherever you want them and they prevent the charms which are between them from moving. That's the only way. And never put too many charms on a leather bracelet, even the double ones can not hold more than 5-7 charms/clips.

This combination looks really really gorgeous.

I would definitely stop with the blue and add more white or silver to it.

 

[AngelaPandora]

Thank you again for the wonderful idea about switching my clips to the new bracelet.

There are so many options and I can't decide! [emoji12]

I am attaching a picture of my bracelet with my charms pushed together to show that there's still space on this bracelet:

View attachment 3307037

I'm not sure if I need to fill those two spaces up to stop the "jingling" noise when I move my arm, or f this bracelet should actually be left alone despite the spaces.

On an unrelated topic, has anyone seen he Blooming Dahlia clip in real life? Do you think it looks classy or not, as I don't usually go for enamel and only have one enamel charm.

Thanks! [emoji169]

I love it the way it is. I would go for new dahlia clips with pave heart clasp bracelet.

Thank you iValani

I love the new additions
I would love to wear only middle section with clips for going out/occasion and mix and match muranos, vine charms, twirl clips and new openwork charms for everyday: flower+murano clip vine+galaxy, vine clip murano/ or if you are obsessed with balance keep 2 charms in each sektion: flower+murano clip vine+galaxy clip vine + murano

This is what I use: (Not my listing, This is an item I purchased.)

The white ones are really semi-transparent, I just use these under clips on my leather bracelets, they do show thru other charms. I like the black ones best, they don't show at all on the black leather, and kind of just look like shadows on my tan leather. They are kind of a bear to get on, but I'm happy with them.

I wouldn't have added any more blue, just thought I needed to separate the blue of vine & murano, like the centre section. They are my first openwork charms and I just love them to bits. I'd not tried them before, I think maybe because I felt they were a cheaper option but I don't feel that at all now I've tried them.

I love the last charm ivalani but can't find what it is, also the first one is tempting What are they both called?

Meanwhile back to my pink/purple bracelet, based on home& garden. Pink is my favourite colour and I wear it most days. I think it's complete now, maybe I'll tweak it now and then but I'm really content with the way it is there's still a bit of movement but think I prefer it that way rather than add more charms.

Possibly a safety chain later but think that's all

OK, the first one is actually a clip, from the latest spring collection, it's called Floral daisy lace, the second one is from the same collection - Shimmering droplets (clear) and the last one is from the new Valentine's collection, it's called Petals of love.

The pink bracelet is lovely.

Thank you, Mulberrygal my bracelet has got quite a few golden charms, many of them were given to me on my birthday (was big and nasty round date😐 ha ha) My favorite charm, perhaps, is golden heart with a key. And when I have got it two years ago I remember it was 260 pounds, and recently I was very surprised to find out that it's price has gone down to 150 in the official store, I am feeling ripped off now! I also have got two golden cherry blossom stoppers with pink enamel. One have been bought here for 299, but the second one I have bought in Pandora store in Moscow for ...120! It seems crazy.
In the Bicester village I remember they had about 4-5 trays of discounted beads. The most of them were silver, but they did show me 4 golden charms as well. Unfortunately I can not remember which ones, but the price was maybe 40% less. They also had golden cherry blossom rings. Same kind of discount.
My daughter, yes, it's lucky, lol. 10 year old was getting the taste of fashion with her birthday money. I am glad she was sensible and did not spend it all
Wanted to thank you very much, as I did not even have a clue of these rubber things! Will have to get them, as was beginning to think I shall never be able to complete such a long bracelet😁🎉
I did spend maybe a good hour in burberry eyeing one beautiful Canter bag. But ended up leaving it the store. I just did not have guts to spend that much this time... But i did get a couple of traditional tops. Here is one of them was £157

I think you are right, there got to be something in between those two. If you wanted to be minimal, then maybe you just need to swap some beads and rearrange their position? I would probably add something just plain silver

I actually never thought of putting a theme into bracelet... I usually would go only by how the colours match each other. It is a lovely bracelet, with or without safety chain
