The PANDORA thread

[Missydora]

Love your bangle Missnydora, looks great. Horrified by the Rose peeling off your other one,I've never seen that before.. I have the rose gold bracelet, no problems so far but I rarely wear it.

I also get very disappointed with our poor promotions in the UK. We did get a free Essence bracelet promo last year but can't remember when it was, other than that it's like you say, free travel plastic jewellery box

Thanks. Well the peeling rose gold put me off, so I didn't want the same replacement. Is shame as I did like it.
I would be more interested if pandora do a promo something like spend £125 and pick a free charm up to £55. I will be there in a flash . I got enough free bangles now.

Guys, don't judge me but I went back to the store today. I found that my Spring/green themed bracelet wasn't perfect and it was driving me nuts. I'm sure Pandora lovers here can relate... So I got two more of the light green faceted charms and the butterfly one. I feel it's more balanced and cohesive this way. And I got to choose another free bracelet. Yay! What do you think?
One thing is for sure: I'm officially on a Pandora ban for a while since I went waaay overboard.
Has anyone else taken advantage of the free bracelet promo if it was available to you? If so, please share.

Oh my goodness you have just as many beads as I remember if not more
I like the turquoise bracelet the best.
I totally understand your mentality of having to finish something that doesn't look finished in my mind. It's really annoying. But exciting to think that it will get sorted. And I get a relief when it completed . This is why I'm so afraid to start anything too new like a sparkly one or different colour. If I begin a theme, that's it.. my mind is completely focused on completion and research like mad on how to make it look how I want it to. . It's also bad If there's a certain repeated pattern on a charm or same spacer or glass I just want multiples of them?? Where as charms like animals and objects, one is fine. I'm liking the essence bangle. I think that will be the next purchase. Suprisingly nobody bought me any charms for mothers day today (in uk) because everyone thinks I now have too much

Thank you for your lovely words @Mulberrygal! May we see your newest creation? I'm very curious since when I started building my new bracelet, it was supposed to be dark blue and stars... As you can see, I diverted from my initial plan but it's still on my mind...

Oh that's interesting Emibella as I've done just that, dark blue & stars. Mine started off with some lighter blue but I split it as I preferred the dark blue on it's own. It reminds me of my Dad everytime I look at it as he loved the night sky and used to point out all the stars to me.
I'm on holiday at the moment so I'll add a picture when I get home. It's lovely to have time to browse through the forums.
I always admire everyone's bracelets on here with the mixtures of colour but when it comes to my own I do usually stick to one colour. With so many combinations possible it takes awhile to discover what you really like yourself

They have £20 off a £120 spend online from Thurs 29th. I think it's only for a few days and they still have charms left in the Spring Sale that can be used towards it....................I was very naughty in the sale. I think I could do with a free bracelet to spread my charms out I was considering the Poetic Blooms but wondered if it might be too pretty.

It's so funny, I'm the same when it comes to doubling certain charms to create a pattern. As for the more uniquely shaped one, I'm ok to have only one.

You're bracelets are always beautiful and I like your pink and gold theme.

I like the Essence bangle, it stacks well with the others. Although I'm new to bangles, always had soft snake chain ones. Not sure how to design my Moments bangle. Got some c shaped rubber inserts for clips so I'll try and play around with it. The only thing that bothers me is the only have 3 sizes. The medium is a little stiff with charms on it and the large feels a little too big... Pandora should make bangles in the regular sizing imo.

And you should definitely get yourself a charm for mother's day!

Can't wait to see your dark blue bracelet! You're lucky to be on holidays, enjoy!! Did you go somewhere sunny?

Yes enjoying lots of sunshine in Teneriffe, lovely weather and a really relaxing break. I still want to add a couple of cosmic clips to my dark blue. I've rearranged it everytime I've bought another charm and I think I liked it best before it was full I may buy the star bangle and transfer a few over

Thanks Emibella, I've already been very naughty and bought a few

Oh! Dark blue is my new theme also I have a dark blue leather bracelet to compliment it and a gorgeous midnight murano charm.

I also noticed that oxy bracelet gives it the deeper colour and as Ivalany already knew - I cannot take my new bangle off - I wear it with sky theamed clips.

Oh that looks lovely with the dark blue leather bracelet. Yes I've the oxidised bracelt and it definitely makes them stand out. I also have an oxy one for my purple themed and it looks great with a purple too.
I haven't got the midnight murao, they showed it to me in store. It's lovely but I already have 2 midnight stardust & the night sky star Murano so thought another would be too much.
I've filled mine up now, I couldn't help myself there were so many gorgeous ones I liked! The problem is I don't like the look of it as much as when it was half full, you can't see the oxidised effect anymore I always get carried away and when I get home I plan to split them onto 2 bracelets.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Argento have got 70% Pandora sale currently but it's very limited charms mainly the older one's and jewellery nothing I want though.

Yeah I know what you mean it's weird the bangles don't come in 18cm or 20cm.
I have to buy my own charms these days. Kids and hubby think I have too many charms, hubby says I only use 50% of what I have the rest never see daylight . When i use to be at home a lot, procrastination was a good excuse to get my beads out play and re arrange. I loved it.

Here is what I got with the most recent Pandora bracelet promo.

Starting a "things I love" bracelet. I also got another bracelet that's got the sterling heart clasp, but it's empty for now.

Yes it's always worth checking the online stores. Swag have had their Pandora items reduced since Christmas. I noticed yesterday they had the Field of Daisies murano for £5 but all gone now. They're such a fabulous charm that goes with gold or two-tone so well. Swag also do cashback with Quidco so it's definitely a good one to buy from.
