Pandora's new collections are making it easy for me not to want any, anymore. I miss their older solid silver charms and two tone charms that had actual meaning. Two tones with a bunch of hearts, or two two button style charms are not enough for me. Too many flowers collections. Same with the pave'd everything. I even miss old school charms with different lovely colored gems on them and not just cubic zirconia everywhere. There's so much competition with other charm brands nowadays, and Pandora keeps catering towards the styles that their long-time customers aren't a fan of.A surprisingly early sneak peek at the Pandora Pre-Autumn 2017 collection has been posted on MoraPandora:

Although I'm always curious to see what's coming in future collections, nothing here is of any particular interest to me, except maybe for the muranos. Good thing for my wallet I guess...
What do you guys think?

Thank you. Iam really flattered
by your post. I did do a double take when I saw your gorgeous creation before I read anything because I thought, wow this is really up my street 
something I would have put together too. This lady has same taste as me. You know I just love that bejewelled look you have created on your bracelet. I can stare at it all day and just be content and happy. 
I was put off from buying rose gold when they 1st came out because of the fear the plating would chip or wear off. But when the bangle was gifted to me. I thought it was a great a chance to give it a go . I really like it but hadn't got any rose gold charms. Judging by the fact no one on here I believe has had the rose plating chip off like mine. I think I must have got a defective one.Gahhh! What happened to yours is my biggest fear turned true if I ever got a Pandora Rose bracelet and charms for myself. Pandora Rose is the only style of bracelet/bangle I don't have yet. I know in general rose gold has a tendency to fade over time. I hope what happened to yours was a once in a blue moon incident for Pandora Rose. I'd be concerned enough not to get another as my replacement either. Sorry to hear what happened with yours. It is a shame, the Pandora Rose collection is so beautiful!
I love looking back through some of the old pictures and came across this question. I just wondered what you decided Pandoortje?
I have a gold bracelet and nearly filled it but the gold bracelet had no wow factor because you couldn't see it
I've now taken several of the gold charms off and added them to a two tone bracelet with a couple of Field of Daisies Muranos & a bit of sparkle. I am absolutely thrilled to bits with it, the silver of the bracelet really sets off the gold charms and my gold bracelet is now visible and they stack well together 
This is a stunning creation AP. I love the way you have added different types of charms and they all look fabulous together. I have some of these charms
I may just have to do a bit of borrowing of ideas from you and Missydora.I must stop looking on here, I just think I'm finished and over Pandora and something else grabs me
I am fairly new to Pandora and agree 100% I wanted "memories" not gaudy cz encrusted hearts and flowers.
As promised a picture of my dark blue night sky bracelet.
I haven't sorted out the order at all at the moment, I just haven't had time to fiddle around with the charms and hopefully will try today. They will also be on my Oxy bracelet.
I'd love some advice on the Cosmic clips. I've just purchased two to replace the swirl clips (one swirl clip & one Cosmic showing at mo ) When I initially tried them on in store I had the star in the middle and not many other charms. I thought they looked absolutely stunning but now I'm not so smitten by them. I know a lot of you aren't keen on too much cz but I really like it so I don't mind overload. I've also just purchased another galaxy spacer.
They were all online purchases so I'm thinking of returning but I'd love to hear opinions or ideas?

I love your bracelet Mulberrygal! Like the monochrome design. It looks understated and chic at the same time. I would swap the Swirl clip for a second Cosmic clip, add a second Galaxy spacer and another charm at the right end to balance everything out. I like a symmetrical look, but that's just me. Good job!!

I'm not sure about symmetrical so no idea why I keep buying two of the ones I like 
I think you're right though and will probably go back to the original with your suggestions. I'm also still not convinced I'm a full bracelet girl, Lol my first pick is always the half full ones.What do you think of it with the Cosmic clip in purple? Does it look totally wrong with the blue or can I get away with one. I so love the Cosmic in purple
..........in these pictures I've taken the blue bauble off but I miss it, one of my favourites. I also think there's not enough blue in the middle, that will have to change. Oh why is it so difficult and drive me so nuts

I've been asked a couple of times about my two tone with the signature clasp. This is probably my favourite bracelet, I really love the clasp and it looks great with the yellow gold safety chain and the gold charm in the centre. I've added silicon spacers to the centre charm and the two gold end charms so they stay put but the rest move around.
I've just purchased the gold clips and they are so very pretty. I managed to pick them up in the sale and the bracelet for me is finished, I'll keep it like this. Looks great stacked with gold or silver and the Essence bracelet

Received an email today letting me know there will be a sale on Perlen tomorrow. Thought I'd share with you guy...

How long does it take for Perlen to deliver, in your experience. They have one of the charms I've been searching a long time for.
On the topic of the TT clasp bracelet, I've finally out a way to use my Christ heart dangle and Snow White charm. I live in Northern California and it generally takes 7-10 days for me. Usually 7 days average. I purchase from them quite a bit, and I almost always just go with the free shipping option. I actually did purchase something from their sale last week, still free shipping. They shipped it out on Friday my time, and I got it yesterday/Wednesday. That's the fastest that's happened for me so far. Lol

Beautiful! I like both Cosmic clips but prefer them to be the same. But that's just me.
I think your full bracelet looks stunning!As for adding blue, I like the blie swirl charm you had on there in your previous pic. Also, maybe you could add some little facet charms? Keep us posted on the evolution of your design!

This is so pretty! As you know, I have the same bracelet minus the gold charms...
I like the way you styled it. And those new clips are to die for!!View attachment 3659438 On the topic of the TT clasp bracelet, I've finally out a way to use my Christ heart dangle and Snow White charm.
So pretty! I love them! And they happen to be two of my favourite clasps...
