Caz, I love the way you threaded the essence charm on the necklace!
Is that bead purple? It's gorgeous! [emoji171] Which trait/value does it represent?
Yes, I would agree about all of this regarding the Blooming Dahlia clip.
On a side note, I also bought the new cherry blossom clip that debuted in the spring collection. It's also much more difficult to open than the clips I purchased last year and doesn't open very wide.
Maybe Pandora is working on making the clips more sturdy and secure, as my plain Pandora rose clips open all the way and are somewhat "loose."
Yes it definitely includes the clasp & right to the other end. I've found the easiest way to measure is butt it up against a ruler. Lol I kept receiving the wrong size when purchasing "preLoved" from EBay recently so I'm well practised
ullhair: I had to take loads of pics to get it sorted out. What did Pandora say about it stretching a whole cm? It does seem way too much, has anyone else's stretched this much?
The problem with wearing less charms is it will be looser still. I guess you could just sell it as a 20 cm and buy a smaller one.

It is, thanks so much.
Oh that's great Caz!
I really like it like this. Love the clips too.
Thanks for the reply.
So I measured my bracelets, oxy (which I hardly ever wear and when I do it is always 1/2 full) hasn't stretched at all, while the regular silver bracelet has stretched 1 cm exactly. After one year of constant wearing. So there you have it... all of them will stretch eventually. The problem is, if you're between sizes like I am, you can not wear the smaller one full and wait for it to stretch because it is too tight that way. So you end up buying the bigger size too if you want to have a full bracelet but when it inevitably stretches you're left with two bracelets that are not really right for you - one too small to be worn full and the other one too big.
Although I have to say, the way it is now, my full bracelet feels OK, it could be a bit smaller but if it doesn't stretch anymore, the way it is now is OK. I like when the bracelets are not tight around the wrist and when they move around freely.
I just really really hope it won't stretch more than it already has.
Maybe I could ask at the Pandora store if there is a limit to stretching although I don't think they'd be able to tell me that.

Yes, thank you, I love it to that point that I wear it to my office when I do not have important meetings. Before that I always preferred only 1-3 charms with my business attire.
I do remember reading that the bracelets actually loosen and strech in about a year and reach the final lenghth at that point. Both of my bracelets are exactly the same lenght when I compare them - I had one for about 4 and the other for 1 month.
I have two almost full Pandoras. Sometimes I divide them on several leather bracelets or just wear them on my two silver ones. One of my silver ones stretched quite a lot and Pandora replaced it for me. But this was at a time when quite a few stores around where I live sold Pandora and they had just opened a store of their own so maybe they were being really good about customer service. I hated that it stretched. They are meant to have the charms on them so this should not happen.
What is your favourite charm, Ladies?
For long time I loved my pavee mystic flover the most. It gets most of the rotation between all my 3 bracelets. And the second favourite is pink little facionated bead.
I must add that I like all my charms, despite that my swan is always upside down and my angelfish looks dead most of the time (depending on the angle it's tummy is upside and the tail contributes to tgat totally dead look
)
My favourite murano is the pink cherry blossoms - it could be a seasonal thing for me though.

All you lovely ladies have beautiful Pandora jewellery!
I currently only have the Hearts of Pandora ring which my boyfriend got me as a lovely surprise present as he saw me eyeing the ring in the Pandora store.
Over time I will buy some more rings and one day get my very own Pandora bracelet and charms.

This is a fun question, Angela!
I think my favorite charms are Divine Angel and the Majestic Swan!!! I look at them all the time. My angel is usually backwards so I have to rotate her, but I love her!
I've been totally addicted to checking for updates on this thread lately, but not posting much because I've been so busy!
@AngelaPandora, I think my favourite charms would be the peacock with teal and green cz's, or maybe the Purrfect Together charm with the two little cats (representing my two little fur babies 😻
! And funny enough, those are the two that always flip upside down on me too! I love the angel fish charm that you mentioned was one of your favourites too, although I don't own it.
I was curious what the average number of charms most of you wear on any one bracelet at a time is? Mine is nearly full now, with only room for 2, maaaybe 3, more charms on it and I'm debating at which fullness I like it the best.

Hi KTRM,
I used to consider 16 charms on a 19 cm bracelet full, but now I'm going for only 12-13 to see if it prevents so much stretching.
