The PANDORA thread

[iVALANI]

Here they are together...

Crystalina I'm not happy with it. I went to the store with the full bracelet and didn't feel like removing the charms to try it on so I tried it on when I came home, it just doesn't look well with my other charms, not even with the field of daisies murano (the one I was hoping would look great with it). I loved it on you and on most of the promo pics but on my hand, I'm not loving it on my hand.
The second thing is it opens very easily, like a small child could open it without any problem. Does yours open easily too? With all my other clips I need to put in an effort to open them.
I don't know what to do... I definitely need to go to the store again because of this opening issue. And by then I guess I'll decide what to do with it, whether to keep it or whether to just exchange it for something else, I have lots of stuff on my wish list anyway.
Should I settle for a charm I'm not 100% happy with when someone else would love it more than me, know what I mean.

@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.

I love your new charms LL they look really fabulous, good to know your bracelet hadn't stretched. I won't be wearing my two-tone one daily so hopefully it will be okay. It's also Pre-loved so maybe it won't stretch further, or maybe they judge keep getting bigger!

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!!!!!

Really annoying for you and a cm is an awful lot to stretch in just a few months. I only asked if they had recommended that size as wondered if you could take it back and complain.

Several different SAs recommended a 19 for me, it's very comfy without any charms but five is the limit I've bought a 20 to wear with my full set, it moves freely up and down and feels comfortable. I can only fit one finger not two underneath but it's very comfortable and I don't think I'd want it looser.

Hi iValani!

I'm so sorry to hear that you aren't happy with it. That's no fun!

My Blooming Dahlia is quite difficult to open, so it's very tight and I need to push with s good among of force to pop it open.

If you can exchange it for a tighter one, then maybe you'd like the look of it next to s different Murano. I noticed when I was picking mine, that some looked s bit more rosey/pink and others were more lilac. Maybe you'd like it more if you had it closer to pink or purple Murano.

Another thing.... I've reorganized my bracelet and have the blooming dahlia next to my rose gold charms and it really makes it pop....just a thought!

Let me know what you decide to do! [emoji171]

Im going this arvo to replace the 18cm to 17cm. Will try if better size. I hopefully will be good and not purchase a new charm - bead. Until mothers day..

I went today. The SA put on the 17cm. Yep it felt tighter not as comfy as hopes for so Im keeping the 18cm. I did though change the clips from the Pandora ball one...

Will do, for sure. Thanks for your reply.
Rose gold is not available in my country, so can't really do that comparison. Anyway, since your dahlia is difficult to open then something is definitely not right with mine. I'll let you know what I decided when I go to the store again in a couple of days.

Caz, I think you made the right choice by keeping the 18 cm bracelet.

Oh what a shame but I'd say if you don't feel they fit in with your other charms you'd probably be better off taking them back. I think it makes so much difference what you put them with, it's a lot of money to pay out if you're not 100% happy. Why not change them for something else if you've got plenty on your wish list? If you feel different in the future you can always buy them again

Really curious, whereabouts are you. I had no idea the rose gold wasn't available everywhere. I recently found out the rose will wear off in time, I'm definitely not going to wear mine so often now.

I know the pandora promo event was a few weeks ago, but I'm going to post a picture of my new bracelet that I bought (with charms). Most of the charms on this bracelet were bought during promo or yesterday (the new ones) - yes, I went a little Pandora crazy this month lol.


Here is a picture of some charms that I like and bought but don't fit in with this bracelet. Thinking of starting a Disney bracelet soon. Does anyone have any cute Disney bracelets to show? Preferably with the Disney princess dresses!


What do you all think of my bracelet? I am concerned about the middle pink pearl dangle. I don't like that it's a different color than the other pearls. I would love to hear your opinions! Thanks! [emoji4]

I think your bracelet is gorgeous but pink is my favourite colour. It looks really well balanced and I love the Pink Muranos and faceted charms and I don't think there is too much pink

I didn't notice the difference in the pink colour of the pearl until you mentioned it. It's funny but I have the same charm and struggle to add it to any of my bracelets. I know just what you mean about the shade,I find it goes best on my rose gold bracelet but I haven't got anything to balance it with, so it's not getting used.

I think you can get away with it on yours as it's well balanced and you have several similar style charms. I'm sure when worn it would look fine.

Does anyone the answer to this question:

Does the size of the bracelet include the clasp?

You're completely right.
I live in Belgrade, Serbia.

I would just leave out two of the pendants (of your choice), I think 5 is a lot... when there are too many pendants they don't have a chance to stand out. Other than that it's perfect and I love it.

Does the size of the bracelet include the clasp?

Good question, I've wondered about the same thing myself but don't have a clue.

 

[Crystalina]

Ok everyone, I called the Pandora store earlier because I wanted to know if the clasp is bc luster in the overall measurement of the bracelet. They told me that IT IS!!!!

That means my 19 cm bracelet has stretched out to 20 indeed and is getting too big for me.

I'm going to try putting only 12 charms in this one instead of 16 and see if that helps.

You know, it's got me thinking if that's part of the marketing behind the free bracelet promo. They know bracelets have stretched too much, so if buy a lot of charms, they throw the bracelet in!

 

[Crystalina]

@iValani.... So cool that's you live in Belgrade. I've head it's an amazing place!!!![emoji169]
