The PANDORA thread

@iVALANI @Maxt I've come to realize I've been more of a collector/hoarder lately more than one who regularly wears their Pandora pieces. With the holidays now over, I've reassessed my Pandora collection and come to realize I now own 16 Pandora bracelets. Most of them are indeed 50% full or more, including three full 2-tone bracelets. Now that I think about it, my paranoia comes more from how I've come to realize how much was invested into my collection from gifts and myself. :shocked::smile:

Nice to see the thread is still very active and with new faces/names!
This is why I try to avoid bracelets promo, so I don't need to start a new bracelet again. :-) Good luck with your collection, and you can make necklace out of two bracelet, or exchange some for Trollbeads. I start liking their bracelets more.
 
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. :p

I brought mine in for a cleaning and it looked the same... When I get home Im going to take a pictute. But from what my co-worker was telling me is I need to get a polishing cloth to clean it so next time im in the mall I'm going to pick one up :)

This is gorgeous, why does everyone else's bracelet always look so great :facepalm:

Eeek, perhaps you should starting wearing them lots, that way they will give you pleasure and you won't feel so bothered about the cost

I estimate I've spent over $4000 on mine and I've started my 5th, I can't imagine 16 :amazed:. Pandora can be an expensive obsession.

I've bought so many charms that I really loved without having in mind where they'd go :hrmm: I've just been trying to sort them out, sell the ones that don't have a place and arrange the others into something I want to wear :panic: ?..................I'm trying so hard to put together the ones I have but it seems to require buying more to get the right result
 
:biggrin: Can't wait to see how you decided to arrange your charms!

Pretty sure regular clips with rubber inserts are fine on a threadless bracelet (see my previous post on the subject). Also, I've been toying with the idea of getting a threadless bracelet. How do you like yours Mulberrygal? Would you share a picture? :smile:

I love the simplicity of this pale green faceted charm with just a couple of small clips worn on the smooth bracelet. The colour is perfect for stacking with any Tiffany bracelets.

I also like it with the 4 red charms & orchid as you can place the clips wherever to give the charms more room. The picture doesn't do it justice as the Muranos are a darker red and the hearts barely look red but it shows how adaptable it is. I also prefer the round clasp to the barrel one, I'm tempted to get another :wtf:

I have the exact same problem. But I don't want to sell my charms, they were all bought because I liked them or needed them at that moment... and yet some of them barely ever leave the jewelry box.

I wear those charms on my leather bracelet 1 up to 3 at a time. I can still enjoy them without the stress of endless redesining.

I have tried to buy only those charms that I love AND I can combine with others - but the taste changes - I started to hate cupcake at one point and I had to give it away.

Emibella - for me it is more about designing rather than collecting and like iVALANI, I redesign my bracelets all the time. Well sometimes I do it every day. I do take pictures if I really like the combination so I can reperform.

My collection is not to big - I think that my charms would fill up about 3 full bracelets. It is hard to get a decent picture with all of them together
