The PANDORA thread

I am really unhappy with how much my moments bracelet has stretched!

I'm thinking of replacing my stretched out moments bracelet with a bangle instead.

Also, I have a question regarding my new moments bracelet. If I quit wearing moments bracelets with full charms (and instead only wear it half full in a regular basis), do you think it will stretch less than my bracelet full of charms did?

Or are all moments bracelets doomed to significant stretching no matter what???🤔

Hi ladies! I am new to pandora.. well not new but I just got my first bracelet about a month ago. I got a starter bracelet with clips and a charm for free! But that was just good luck and I was going to get one from my husband for my birthday.
Anyhoo, sorry if this has been covered before but I'd like to know, what is your opinion on which way around to have your charms facing? Toward you or away from you??

@iVALANI - I saw the Blooming Dahlia clips today. They are sooo dreamy!

@Crystalina - My only Moments bracelet full of charms that hasn't stretched is the one I barely wear. Not sure if that helps.

@amy_maro - I wear my charms facing me, so I can admire them.

So the Disney muranos I was looking at didn't work out in person. Rapunzel's purple wasn't as vibrant as Tink's green. Instead, I bought the other style of charms I was looking into. Enamels! And the pretty floral padlock you all have. Sadly, Disneyland's store isn't a full-blown Pandora store as I originally thought, so they didn't have the new 2-tone safety chain I wanted.

Edit: I now own all of the Disneyland diamond celebration Pandora charms. I thought the 2015 complemented the final diamond celebration charm I got today nicely. The 2016 charm still looked blehhhhh to me.

Sorry for the multiple posts. I'm going to put the 2 blue enamels on my blue Disney bracelet. I'm also going to remove the pavé Mickey and Minnie clips and put those on my Mickey and Minnie themed Disney bracelet.

I also decided I like how the orchid enamel looks better on my heart clasp bracelet than on my neck. The floral padlock was what I had in mind for that bracelet's centerpiece, but I now like the orchid in the middle.

Ok so I'm really struggling with what to do with my two bracelets.

One is full and the other I just bought during the free bracelet promo. It's new and has just two clips, one charm and a pave clasp.

I don't like wearing the two bracelets together. It's clanky and makes noise. It also looks too busy, even though only one is full.

I thought about moving charms from one bracelet to the other to distribute the charms equally. However, my original bracelet has stretched out a bit and is the perfect size with all the charms on, not to mention I like it just the way it is.

However, I feel bad wearing only one bracelet over the other....I want them both! My new bracelet is just so bare to wear alone.

What should I do? I hate having two and having to pick one over the other!View attachment 3326710View attachment 3326711View attachment 3326712View attachment 3326713

Try to move the other clip closer that its original place using rubber stopper under it. Your other bracelet will not look so empty anymore and you can still wear it with your other one. As the other one is a bit looser, they stack together even better as the other one will stay a bit higher.

I swap and rotate my charm all the time, but I mostly wear one bracelet at the time. I only wear two bracelets if the other one in leather one.

As I have 2 colour schemes, It is mostly easy to choose which one to wear based on the colour of my close. I usually have some blue charms on my one and some pink muranos on my other bracelet and in the hurry I can choose the combo that I already have on the bracelet with just a few charms. The silver and two- tone charms get the rotation. I have only 3 pink glass charms so my pink bracelet is about 5/6 full if I put all my other charms on it.

I can fit my 2 fingers only tightly between my full brakelet so I consider it a one-finger fit. My bracelets have not streched, but I havent had them full for a long time yet.

So now We've :giggles: got my two tone right. I've still gave the dilemma of what to do with the charms I took off. I definitely need your expert advice again to put it together.

I love AngelaPanora's idea of a "love Paris" bracelet, I've also got the Colosseum & Gondola, they were all very special weekends to celebrate milestones.

I've tried them all together in the centre

I would leave only Eiffel dangle and try other teo on your blue bracelet, which has right amount of space for them. They are big dangles so 1 or two on opposite sides would be my preference. You can still go back to this one if you do not like it.

And I love your two-tone with white murano in the middle so shick. With the yellow one - it is more unique combination so keep the picture in your mind for the days when you want your Pandora to stand out more. With blue dress for example. I bet it would look gorgeous.

I love the combinations. The enamel ones look a dark violet/lilac? If so that it is one of my favourite colours - the other one is fucsia like the orchid charm- so I adore your new charms and there is no way on earth that I would not wear them together - as it is my most favoutite combination (I use it in my wardrobe and even my business cards)

But yeah.... Sorry that is your bracelet, not mine
Although I could get the orchid I guess - never caoght my eye in the store though...., I am not going to Disney in near future.

Great suggestions, thank you so much!

Also, do you ever wear your clips like charms. I have five clips now and love them all, so I'm considering putting them throughout the bracelet.

Here are the stock photos of my blue Disney charms. They look more true to color than my camera phone and bad lighting. Sorry about that. I actually wanted the 2016 charm, but that one was the one that looked like a dark violet color, even though it's advertised as a dark "blue." I didn't get that since it didn't match with the other blues. I guess the 2015 charm flows with the others, since Disneyland's anniversary was that year. Actually, the more I look at the new blue enamels I bought, they do look nice surrounding the orchid too.

Not trying to be an enabler, but at least you can still get the orchid dangle outside of Disney, since that one is just a regular Pandora charm. I never noticed or cared for it myself until I saw it on tPF.

I am really unhappy with how much my moments bracelet has stretched!

I'm thinking of replacing my stretched out moments bracelet with a bangle instead.

Also, I have a question regarding my new moments bracelet. If I quit wearing moments bracelets with full charms (and instead only wear it half full in a regular basis), do you think it will stretch less than my bracelet full of charms did?

Or are all moments bracelets doomed to significant stretching no matter what???��

But can you do that, can you replace the bracelet just because of stretching? Even at the store they tell you to expect the bracelet to become looser and to stretch.

Hi ladies! I am new to pandora.. well not new but I just got my first bracelet about a month ago. I got a starter bracelet with clips and a charm for free! But that was just good luck and I was going to get one from my husband for my birthday.
Anyhoo, sorry if this has been covered before but I'd like to know, what is your opinion on which way around to have your charms facing? Toward you or away from you??

I wear them facing away from me usually.

Oh you got the orchid! And the heart locket. I have them both, love them.

Great suggestions, thank you so much!

Also, do you ever wear your clips like charms. I have five clips now and love them all, so I'm considering putting them throughout the bracelet.

Yes, I wear clips like charms all the time.

* Angela, another vote for the orchid charm, it is just so cool and vibrant, it brings the bracelet to life.

I only have 4 clips and love only 3 of them. The fourth is just there - therefore no. The clips I love are the twirl clips - I have them with pink, blue and white stones, therefore my options to put them all on at the same time are limited (I separate my blue and pink charms and never wear them together)

Good to know about that 2016 charm. Thank you!

Doesn't matter if it's small, you can always place it among other smallish charms so it doesn't get lost. Ohm charms are so edgy and unique, I really like them. Pity you can only buy them in like 3 countries in Europe.

I'm planning to go to the Pandora store tomorrow, time to pick up my new clips from the spring collection.

Oh they are lovely, can you post pics on the bracelet when you have them?

Did you get the Cosmic clip. I went to have a look in store and it's so lovely.

Oh how long did it take to stretch? Did you wear it full from the start?

I seem to be between two sizes and my smaller one hasn't stretched, yet the next one up is too big unless full.

I've been trying to stretch mine as I find a 19 too tight with more than a few charms on. I tried filling it to see if it would stretch quicker but it was unbearable, I even left it on overnight for awhile but it's still the same. I had to buy a 20 which is the only way I can wear more charms but anything less than full it's too loose.

I'll post pics of course, I'm going to the store today, can't wait. I haven't got the cosmic clip yet it'll have to wait a bit because I want to have these two spring clips first.

You and I have the exact same problem re. bracelets and I totally know what you mean. Size which I'm supposed to wear (as per Pandora's recommendation) is uncomfortable and my bigger bracelet drops 2 cm below the wrist bone, even when it's full.
