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???🤔

Ah all the more reason why I want to swap 18cm for 17cm. Its new.

I felt that my 19 cm was too big and changed for 18 cm after about a week. Luckily never regretted that decision. My 18 cm still has a tight fit room for 2 fingers when it is full. But I can not fit more than 3 muranos on it.

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.



I wear them facing away from me usually.



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



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.

Hi iValani! Thanks for your reply.

I wouldn't actually replace it. I would just start transferring my charms to my new bracelet from the promo and quit using the old one.

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.

Hi Mulberry gal.

I have had my original bracelet for exactly 10 months. It's the 19 size and used to feel perfect until it was full of charms, which really has only been the last 4 months.

This is why I'm thinking of not filling my new bracelet and just switching out charm combos occasionally to be just half full.

But I'm wondering if that will still make the new bracelet stretch anyway? Hmmmm....

I thought it looked cute until I saw the look on Fauna's face. She looked a bit terrified.



Same with the Alice in Wonderland openworks charm. Alice's face looked too realistic for me. I think I'd prefer it if she looked more cute/cartoon'y.

Thanks! That's what I kind of figured it was going to be. Oh well, it'll give me more money for other charms, I suppose [emoji3]

That seems so unfair, did Pandora recommend that size?

That's not good, you wouldn't have thought it would stretch that quickly. Do you wear it every day? I'd be really interested to know what it measures now. It seem 1/2 to 1cm makes an enormous amount of difference.

It's definitely put me off being in a hurry to stretch mine. :graucho: I really like the look of a bracelet partly full, so I think your plan of switching them is a good idea. My full bracelet is two tone, I definitely won't be happy if that ends up too big :nogood:

So it has stretched one whole cm. Pandora recommended the size, of course, so I went with their suggestion (especially since it was my first bracelet).

A girl at my work had a similar experience, except Pandora suggested one too small. She can only fill it half way because it leaves marks in her skin and hurts.

As suggested up thread, they really do need half sizes!!!!!

Doesn't matter if it's small, you can always place it among other smallish charms so it doesn't get lost. :smile1: Ohm charms are so edgy and unique, I really like them. Pity you can only buy them in like 3 countries in Europe. :blah:

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