Very pretty! :smile: Do you plan on adding more charms or leaving it as it is?
Thank you Mulberrygal! It's a shame that they don't do more promos in UK... I like that safety chain too. Please share a picture of your how you wear your bracelet at the moment when you can! I remember seeing you in earlier Pandora threads and they were beautiful! :yes:

I'm really pleased with my purple bracelet now, I feel it's more or less complete. I love all the charms and the look of it from every angle, which is a first for me. I never seem to be able to get them quite right. :nuts:
I bought the royal Purple facets & purple shimmering droplets charms at the airport last month and have just ordered 2 royal purple eternity spacers in the sale............Oh dear, seem to have got the bug again I'll post a pic when they arrive.

Long time lurker here!
I took advantage of the promo and this is what I got. I'm so in love with it. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Welcome StphVal! Your bracelet is very pretty, all new and shiny! I like the opalescent pink geometric facets bead. Are you planning on getting clips? If so, do you know which ones? And what's next on your wishlist? ;)

Thank you iValani and Emibela. Actually I will add more rounded pink faceted beads (replacing all of the mystic flowers) and perhaps only one more rounded silver. It is actually my fifth bracelet. I have one oxy with two-tone and silver charms and pink muranos (or white if I want to replace), one silver/blue and two leather bracelets. I do not want to have another which looks similar to all others. To be honest the last one is my favourite of all and the only one I wear to work (as it is elegant and simple). So thank you for the input again and sry for not listening to it this time :smile:

How is your design going? Did you add the new beads you wanted? Curious to see your updated bracelet. And if you have a minute, please share pictures of your collection and your other bracelets! :smile:

I love that around holidays there is always someone, who starts new bracelet - sometimes even first one. It is so exciting to follow your bracelets as they evolve.

My Pandora present this time was a pair of earrings

Hello! :smile: I've been lurking on this thread for a week or so and looking through the Pandora website and Mora Pandora blog, and I have a couple of questions:

I really like the leather Pandora bracelets, but I'd like to know if they fit non-Pandora charms, like those by Brighton?

Also, I see that Pandora has quite a bit of non-bracelet jewelry with CZ. I like some of the designs (especially the upcomung 2017 Valentine's nevklace and earrings gift set) but I'm worried that the CZ may look, well...fake? :hrmm: How does Pandora CZ compare (in appearance, when worn) to diamonds? I can't afford diamonds right now, and I don't want anything super-blingy, but I don't want anything that screams "costume jewelry!"

I have very little experiance with jewelry, so I'm sorry for my awkwardness! :-s Thanks!

Hi, Joseybird! Welcome to the Pandora thread!

Brighton charms tend to have large holes and do fit on Pandora bracelets, including the leather ones. At least mine do!

Although I don't have any Pandora CZ earrings--except for a pair of pearl drop earrings which have very tiny CZs as an accent--I've been impressed with Pandora non-bracelet jewelry overall, especially the earrings. The quality is very good. One warning though: there are tons of knock-offs around, on etsy, ebay, pinterest, etc. and many are very poor quality. I would suggest sticking to buying at an authorized Pandora merchant or Pandora store.

And Poshmark!
I bought a fake there. It was a discontinued item and she swore it was authentic. I should've known better because she has sold hundred's of Pandora jewelry.

Thank you! :)

I'm a lot more picky about regular jewelry than about charms. I've been looking through the Brighton charms, which are really cute and cheap but which are made with much cheaper materials. I was thinking about buying a Pandora leather bracelet and one or two dangly charms, probably from Brighton but I LOVE the new Pandora book charm so maybe that! I work in a fairly formal environment and look rather young for my age, so I suspect that more charms would look a bit too "casual" for me for work.

One day I would love a gold Tiffany charm bracelet with a single diamond charm on it, but that won't be for ages. In the meantime, a Pandora bracelet seems nice :)
