Thanks so much everyone. :smile1:
Crystalina, yes, unfortunately they are retired. Pandora has so many cool retired muranos, the current selection in their stores is, for lack of a better word, boring. :hrmm: Apart from a couple of notable exceptions.

Hi Pandora ladies... i bought the charm bracelet in size 18
My wrist measures 15cm (6 inch) thinking the bracelet will eventually stretch. Should I change for a 17cm... cheers

Thinking of putting my enamel adventure on hold to venture into the land of muranos instead. I'm looking into getting these as my first muranos. I'm imagining these on my heart clasp bracelet. I already have matching purse clips with the purple cz's in the middle, and a couple green cz openworks charms (birds of a feather and vintage allure). The charms and clips I already have are all 2-tone, which would go with the 2-tone crown/heart safety chain I'm planning to get for it.

This is the Rapunzel fluorescent murano and the Tinker Bell fluorescent murano.

Dear ladies,
I'm very new to pandora and the more i read this thread the more im interested in getting some old charms

Since I cant get retired charms at the store, I was wondering if you have any recommended authentic pandora charms sellers on ebay?

Also do you know how is it possible for ebay sellers to sell authentic pandora charms at a price lower than retail store?

Please recommend reputable ebay sellers for me!!

Thank you ladies :)

Pandora advise 2-3 cms more than your wrist, so 17 or 18 is correct but it makes a huge difference how many charms you add. I wear a 19 but can only get 5-7 charms on. I have to have a 20 if it's full of charms.

What size is your Essence bracelet? It usual to have them 1cm less than the Moments bracelet.

What did Pandora advise when you purchased? They don't recommend too much slack as if you catch it on something they stretch and the bracelet is ruined & pulled out of shape. If your not going to have that many charms just yet I'd go for the smaller for that reason.

Lovely choice, I'm sure they will look lovely. The sparkle Muranos are very pretty, they really pick up the silver around and shimmer, far more than I was expecting.

Ye originally the SA pulled out the 17cm. She thought mite be too tight. That's scary abt the bracelet wrecking if get caught. I wear it to work in the cafe. Where im making toasted sandwiches - washing dishes so prolly not ideal.

My essence is 17cm. I do wish I got the 18 as max beads I like to wear comfortably on is only 3 of them or two or 1 at most.

Ill see how I go. Can always add another bracelet in future.

Always perving on Instagram for pandora ideas... im hooked!

EBay is a minefield of fakes Pinpin, without any controls :tdown: there obviously are some genuine sellers but they are far outweighed by fakes of different qualities. The answer is sellers can't get them that much cheaper!!

I prefer private sellers that are selling items from their own collection but there aren't many. Definitely avoid anything that doesn't actually say Genuine Pandora, is too cheap and doesn't show a picture of the actual charm. Make sure there are hallmarks, many fakes are marked with ALE etc now but the imprint isn't usually as sharp. Check out the feedback, sadly even the feedback isn't full proof because a lot of buyers don't even realise they've bought a fake.

Pandora offer a free in store clean. I always email sellers first asking how they know it's genuine. I let them know I always take my Pandora items into store for a free clean and their Tumbler has previously stripped or damaged fakes!! That usually actually makes anyone that are selling fakes back off. Sadly I've still returned many items and just don't feel it's worth the hassle anymore.:nogood:
