And a very nice collection it is Imaan. :yes:

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 guess I'm trying too hard, I even felt a little overwhelmed with them all which is ridiculous :confused1: you are right, I bought them because I liked them, I'm going to stop all this selling nonsense

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

Ooh they are all beautiful :love: but I especially love the pink. Looking at other peoples ideas is definitely inspirational. I would have really thought I was pushing it with 4 Muranos, let alone adding 2 petite facets, yet it looks fantastic. I have one pale pink Murano and some white so I'm off on one now.......................trouble is I'm sure I'll need those 2 pinky petite facets, they really finish it off. Also absolutely stunning on the oxidised bracelet, I've only ever tried purple and blue on mine.


I think it would be great if we could have a Pandora thread with "pictures only" like they do on the Handbag forum.

Ooh I've just found it :yahoo:https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/what-does-your-pandora-creation-look-like.458364/ I know what I'm going to be doing this evening :heart:

How many charms would you put on a 19 bracelet?
I've been moving mine around and tried 16 which I thought looked great until I tried it on. Other than being too tight, I just didn't like the look of it. I've tried moving them to a 20 but it seems to roll up and down my wrist rather than sort of move freely about..........it's really annoying because I'm quite pleased with my creation :girlsigh:

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:

Thank you Mulberrygal for posting these pictures! I also really like the pale green faceted charm. I would like in the future to design a blue/grewn themed bracelet and I would certainly include that charm in the design.

I also really like you red bracelet. So simple yet so elegant! :smile:

Ladies, you have posted some amazing bracelets! They are really inspiring!

But now, I need your help: I'm stuck with my design...

I finally got the cerise murano and the ribbons of love charm from the new Valentine day collection. I like them both, although I must say the cerise murano is not as vibrant IRL than in the stock pictures... Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out the best way to showcase my new charms as well as find the best overall design for my bracelet. It's been driving me a little nuts. :whut: I'm sure some of you can understand...

So here are two designs I've come up with and I would like your Pandora experts opinion/suggestions. I also took a picture of my other charms. Maybe some of you will see a way to change and/or integrate them in my current bracelet. Thank you all in advance for your input!

It's funny because I was trying to figure out the same thing yesterday with my 21 cm bracelet. My wrist is between 17 and 18 cm and I like my bracelet to be a bit loose. I have a 20 cm bracelet but when it's full and has murano beads, I find it a tad too tight.

It obviously depends on the size/shape of your charms and the number of spacers and dangles you have, as those tend to take up less space.

So on my 21 cm bracelet, I find I can fit comfortably 22 charms, including 5 muranos, 4 spacers and 2 dangles.

Maybe you could add a couple of spacers to your 20 cm bracelet to keep the charms from moving as much. Maybe you could show us and everyone here could help you. Although, in the end, it's really your comfort that matters. :smile:

Omg Leslie, 16! That's great! Never let the thought of the money invested in them be a cause of anxiety or paranoia, that money was well spent on something that makes you happy.
My collection at the moment includes 2 moments bracelets (one regular and one oxy), 1 bangle, 1 essence bracelet, 1 leather bracelet and 1 cord bracelet. That's it.
I definitely need one more bangle and one more essence, those are my priorities. We always have a free bracelet promo here in May so I'll probably wait for that promo before I get a new bracelet. However, I doubt that I'll ever get to the point where I'll arrange everything on one bracelet and just leave it like that. New charms keep being released and I feel I could never be 100% happy with any combination I create, I would always need to rearrange or move something. That's why I feel that having only one or two bracelets is enough for me since I keep changing the combinations and rearranging charms every day.

Anyway, this is what I'm wearing today. Pic quality is poor, I took it with my phone.

Beautiful bracelet iVALANI! I like how you always integrate colourful murano beads in your designs! They make them so unique. Very inspiring... :smile:

Last thing I wanted to mention is the new Sparkling Heart bracelet. It is lovely IRL! The clasp is round and very delicate.

I almost got it, but since it's not LE, I will try to wait until the free bracelet promo in March. We'll see if I can hold off until then... :biggrin:
