The PANDORA thread

[iVALANI]

My almost complete set, the bracelet is in need of a good clean but I can't find time to visit any Pandora's store

You have some very pretty discontinued charms there, lovely bracelet.

So I took my new safety chain to my closest store just to see what I could do, especially since it's only been less than a week since I bought it. The sales associate who helped me was so sweet and allowed me to exchange it hassle-free. My new one is definitely not as banged up as the original one I got from my weekend trip.

I was so swayed by her kindness that I gave into the current promo here in the US. Spend $100 and get a free leather bracelet. I chose the new honeysuckle pink leather. So here are my new (again) purchases.

I am definitely on a Pandora ban for awhile!! :shame:

Leslie it's great that they agreed to exchange the safety chain! That was very nice of them.
You bought some lovely charms, I saw the pink bracelet in person, it's too pink for me... I was hoping it would be more coral than pink because it was not really possible to tell from the promo pics.

I went to my local Pandora today "just to have a look" at the summer collection but of course, how can I resist the free bracelet promo... So this is what I got. Two soon to be retired Essence charms - Virgo (my sign) and Aries (hubby), the charm in the middle is from before. Then the sweet cherries from the summer collection, they are GORGEOUS and finally, the small angel. Since Pandora is retiring plain silver charms at an alarming speed, my plan is to get as many of those as possible before they are all replaced by paves. The bracelet I decided on was the bangle, this is my first one. The choice was between plain silver Moments bracelet, bangle or double grey leather bracelet.

Ohhh, I would love a more coral-colored pink. Coral is one of my favorite colors. The original pink leather is too light for me. If I had not gotten the new honeysuckle color, I would have chosen the seafoam teal leather.

Great haul! Let me know how you like the bangle. I still need to get an Essence bracelet. The plain silver angel, I love it and it's so dear to me! That was one of my very first charms I chose during my first Pandora purchase. Such a shame Pandora is on a pavé hype. I hope it's just a temporary trend (albeit a long one, it seems) for them.

So I finally decided to custom make this for my dog Harlow! 💖💖💖💖🐶🐾😍

Yeah, in the first promo pics that were released that bracelet looked coral pink, so I was really hoping. Maybe some other time...I like the bangle so far, I love that shape and type of bracelet. It's pretty light and I intend to keep it that way, I won't wear more than 2 or 3 charms on it. As for the pave hype, if they continue, I always have Trollbeads, no cz there whatsoever.

And the angel... omg, when I saw its two tiny feet, that's just too cute, I love it.

That's really cute. You do know you're not supposed to have this many charms on a leather bracelet due to potential stretching?

Thank you! Yes my sales said the same thing. I actually got 6 of the double diva clips & the longest silver necklace chain, but I'm waiting for it to arive that way I can sync the silver chain with the black leather together. And with the 6 clips & silver necklace chain it will be more secure when my German Shepherd wears it. 🐶💖💖💖💖

Guys, where can i find the Pandora warranty terms for Europe? They told me in store i have 2 years warranty, i have a receipt from purchase. 2 stones fell off my charm. I bought it a year and half ago. The store is not near to me, so do i even bother going there?

I found the info for clasp, loosen clips ets, but are missing stones covered by warranty?

So glad they were able to do that for you! And isn't that Honeysuckle colour gorgeous!

 

[ildera5]

I hope they are covered. It says there the warranty does not cover damages caused by normal wear and tear but stones falling out is NOT normal wear and tear.

Wow, what a great haul!
Such a pity that the Disney charms are not available in Europe... The first thing I would tick off from my wish list would be all the pretty princess muranos.

LovelyLeslie, thank you, i found that online but it doesn't say anything about the stones falling off. It doesn't seem to be much information online.

iVALANI, i heard about that normal wear stuff... I really hope they can fix it. Otherwise i'll have to take my charm to some other silver store, and that's always a risk.

 

[iVALANI]

Maxt, why don't you try asking them directly on the Pandora FB page? I know they have people who check it regularly and they reply to questions.

I took the charm to store today, they took it and told me they will call in a week or so, they need to check if the warranty covers repairment. They were really nice, so i hope for the best. Thanks iVALANI for trying to help

 

[iVALANI]

You're welcome. Let us know how it went, I hope they will agree to exchange it.

I hope they are able to help! I hope you are able to have a pleasant experience with your store and needing something fixed/replaced like I recently did. Crosses fingers and good luck.

I was going to suggest their Facebook page or email them as well, but I figured either answer, they too would tell you to bring it to your local store. I don't think stones falling off counts as "wear and tear" either.
