The PANDORA thread

[Emibella]

Thanks Emibella, yes I tried that arrangement. It's either dangle in the middle with the 2 either side or just the 3 between the clips. If I go with only the 3 it means I have the red murano & dangle spare so I think I will wear them all. Lol if I sell a couple I may regret it later

I'm now struggling with my black charms.
I need to add clips somewhere and which type and what order do you think they would look good on. I'm just not feeling the love with these

Would it be for a snake chain bracelet or a bangle?

Silver snake chain bracelet. I only have one bangle which we seem to have sorted

Yea even ones that I got last year the silver hasw rubbed right off and I'm not and everyday wearer... Have you brought yours to pandora? because I did to have it cleaned and they said its "normal"

No I just use a jewelry cleaning cloth but it's still not like it was when I bought it. Mine are not worn often.

I always take mine into Pandora for the free clean and none of mine have tarnished. They use a "tumbler" and always come up beautifully shiny. I usually take it in when they're not busy and they mostly have it done by the time I've popped into a few other shops.

Here are the clips that I would see on your bracelet. They are all current except for the Star one that's been retired but still available on Perlen.

I would choose two of the same kind and put them before the black murano beads. I like both dangles. Black heart gives it a chic monochromatic look and the orchid brings a nice pop of colour.

As for the design itself, I prefer the first one. Hope this helps

Ooh lots of ideas many thanks. I had been thinking about the black floral clips. I do have them in white but the white is very "off" white and they don't look good with the whites I have so are definitely on the "to go" pile.

I've added them to the bracelet just to give me some idea..................I don't find five charms are working in the middle for me, not keen on the way the two outside fall and the middle looks squashed.

Also tried spacing them out a bit more which I much prefer and adding a couple of spacers but I don't like the sparkle of the spacers next to the black heart How can a few little beads drive one so nuts All input very welcome, sorry the photos are very poor the light is very bad.

I love the idea of the daisy meadow clips, I hadn't thought of them and think white would look really good. Interestingly I tried them on in store last week (even tho I'm not buying more charms ) the SA suggested them to go with my rose bracelet and they were the whitest of the charms to go with white murano and looked really pretty. I liked the idea of the white primrose but the white was quite different.

Yeah, finding the perfect arrangement can drive us a little crazy at times... But I guess it's also what makes the process fun and creative. The white daisy clips seem perfect for your bracelet!

I like the design in the first pic you posted, even though you mentioned that you prefer having your charms more spaced out. I would also think of adding a pop of colour somehow... Black, white and fuschia go very well together. Good luck and keep us posted!

What about adding some pearl to your bracelet? These are two charms that I have and really love...

I also found a couple of pictures that could inspire you...

I hadn't worn my Pandora bracelets in about 10 months. I just looked in my jewelry box and I have 6 Pandora bracelets I thought I had 5. I definitely need to wear them more often. I've forgotten about my Pandora & Tiffany jewelry. Thanks to you guys I'm inspired to wear them again

Glad we could inspire you! Hope they are not too tarnished... And share your collection with us, we really enjoy seeing pictures here from other Pandora lovers!

I rearranged my bracelets.
This is what I wear at the moment.
Unfortunately the Fairy Fish is poking me all the time.
Therefore I wear him at the moment on a bracelet which is more or less empty.

They are all beautiful LizO! Do you mostly wear them alone or stacked?

If I had to choose one, I would say that the one on the bottom right would be my favourite.

You have two safety chains on that one, I've never seen that before! I see you have the Divine Angel, which is one of the favourite charms that I have. I also like the heart pavé clips. I was eyeing those for a future bracelet.

On the other one on the bottom left, I really like the star clip.

Great designs and collection, keep it up! Thank you for sharing!

I have a question about smoooth silver chain bracelet.Can you use silicone clips on it?I know there are some silicone based clips already but I don't have those.Silicone clips were made for bangles.So it's probably okay to use on smooth silver bracelet.Is there any chances of damage to smooth bracelet.Can anyone answer this please?

 

[Emibella]

I guess you mean the threadless bracelet? You can put silicone lined clips on them. Pandora actually released a few for that. It serves the same purpose as the clips you put on the threads, i.e. to stop the charms from moving around. Except you can put them anywhere you want. Similar to the Essence bracelet. I'm guessing you could also use regular clips with the "C" shaped silicone inserts too, but maybe someone else here can confirm that. Hope this answers your question.

As an example, Pandora sells a set with a charm and two silicone lined clips:

Thanks for your answer.I think I will buy silicone based clips eventually.So I was wondering if it is okay to use those silicone inserts with regular clips on threadless bracelet for now.Maybe someone else can help me too.
