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.
honestly, all this is just a revelation to me, I even did not know these things exist 😳😆 I think I need to buy more clips for my leather bracelet now

I have definitely seen these somewhere, not online but in person, of course no idea where. :hrmm:

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 love both your shirt and your bracelet.

Look for today - teal, with most of my favourite charms.

And together with the teal string bracelet. Is it too much?

Thank you, iVALANI, your bracelets combination looks very chic, congratulations! What is the coin looking charm in the middle? I have never seen it.
I also wonder if it is such a big sin to put non Pandora charm on Pandora bracelet :). I feel like I have committed a crime, lol, when fall in love with one silver and murano glass charm made by local jewellery maker and I keep it on together with my Pandora charms

They are gorgoues, I don't think it's too much at all worn together, both stunning :love:

I also love how you've added the safety chain, I've never seen it worn like this
 
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 would say mine definitely is stiffer. They all seem quite stiff to start with but I think you're quite right, it's more like a bangle.

Please ignore the charms, I was just trying a few things out and I've just tried to push them to one side so you can see it is firmer. I prefer mine worn without charms, but I think a couple of clips would look good, there are so many lovely new ones. I like the bigger ones.

You can also get a heart charm exactly the same as the clasp.............Lol, more options :sweatdrop:

It can't be long now till your promotion, when does it start? Don't forget to add some pictures when you get it.


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.

Looks fabulous, love them all layered and mixed up like this. Do you find they stay in place, or are they constantly moving. I rarely wear my leather bracelet, don't seem to get on with it, I've had it shortened once already but I still find one strand will hang longer than the other and it cross crosses over itself too much :nogood: Whats the knack in getting it right???

I think it is very tasteful both ways. Not too much and well combined if worn together, so unique and special if worn alone.

Thanks everyone. :hugs:

Gravitsap, that's St. Christopher, last year's pre-autumn collection (with travel themed charms) it wasn't available everywhere, so maybe that's why you've never seen it. I got mine in Portugal, it reminds me of that trip and it is a good luck charm so I always wear it.

Re. your question, I would wear other charms with Pandora yeah, why not. If they go well together (colour, theme...), absolutely.

Mulberrygal, that's how I always wear the safety chain because it used to get stuck on the threads at the end of the bracelet and that drove me crazy. And besides, if the bracelet ever unclasps, there is no way that it can slide off from the wrist if worn like this.

I have evanly spaced out clips with pandora rubbers under them and openwork charms with loom bands below them. They stay put nicely and do not move around. I also have 2 muranos and 2 dangly charms between them (and they usually move and stop next to fixed charm or clip, but 2 charms together is OK for me, I have only one moving charm in the space between fixed ones. When they are evanly spaced two strands are more equal, but yeah, they are not exactly the same, but it is definatly better that way than orherwise. I actually like the cross-over that is actually a feature of double/tripple wrap :) I feel that it really is messier hippy look - and that is what I am going for. At work I am so minimalistic with jewelery. 1-3 charms on bracelet, no rings, essence necklace (w-o charms), seldomly I add erarrings. For my free time I love all the different looks - the neat, classy, hip, messy etc

I bought some of these from EBay but you have to be very careful using them. They are difficult to get on like Pj says, you really have to pull them over the threads. I was concerned I was stretching my bracelet. I much prefer the free ones from Pandora under clips as they are split and easy to get on.

I also tried to use them under a heart charm :nogood: it ended up getting stuck on the bracelet and I had a real struggle pulling and twisting it off..........never again for me. I think they're designed really to go under clips or at each side if a charm which I don't like the look off as you can see bits of plastic on your bracelet.


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

I've a couple of themed ones, just charms that are personal to me, of where I've been or memories Eiffel Tower charm, handbag because I'm a handbag nut etc

Most of the girls I know are very sensible and have just one pandora which is themed. I'm obsessive and have to have ones I love the look of too, to match my handbags and nail polish :giggles:

My original silver charm bracelet was just based on my life & passions and took years to collect all the charms. I started it when I was 18 and still wear it now if I'm going out, it has so many memories. It's quite heavy which is why I started collecting Pandora more for everyday use. I have a few Tiffany charms on it and did think of transferring them to a separate bracelet, it seems a shame they get such little use now.

Yes I love the way there are so many different looks to Pandora. :loveeyes:

My new spring pave heart clasp bracelet from different angles with new spring charms!!!

Oh you got them, great choice it looks fabulous. The dahlia clip looks far better than in the pictures I've seen. It looks just perfect stacked with your other bracelet. Will you leave it like this or get more charms, I personally prefer it as it is.

What colour is the Dahlia clip at the top? I thought it was a rose colour but it looks more purple.
 
Thank you, everyone. I'm VERY happy with this purchase!!!!

To the question above, I might just leave this bracelet as is, although I really want the Spring Garden Murano which will be out in June, so I do t know what I'll end up doing.

Also, the vintage letters charm really surprised me because it's very delicate and lace-like in real life!

In regards to the Blooming Dahlia clip, the enamel in the petals sparkles...it's like a mother of pearl sheen with the softest hint of lilac. I noticed the Dahlia clips all looked a bit different in regard to how pink or purple the stone was....I went with a slightly purplish one.

I'm still in the car running errands after my shopping trip, but I tried to get s closer pic of it for you. Remember, this is how it looks on daylight...I can take another when I get home with indoor light!

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

The Burberry top looks fantastic on you, very distinctively Burberry. I can see why you couldn't resist it. I think you should should take the tags off it now though ;)

I love your bracelet, it's such a lovely mix of two tone charms, gold and Murano.............all my favourites. I'm definitely working on a trip to Bicester, it's a must this year but probably will be much later. DH has promised me my gold bracelet if we can pick one up at Gatwick in May. I'm holding my breath and hoping my size will still be in stock. I've got a "personal shopper" phone number and you can get them put by and wrapped 2 weeks before you fly.............so fingers crossed.

The gold padlock actually went into the Xmas sale as I managed to get one :happydance: They were all marked as sale items then, along with a few other gold ones. There are still a few sale charms left on the online store but they are just mixed in with the others and not even marked as reduced which seems weird. I hope that makes you feel a little better! You definitely got a bargain in the Moscow store :p
