Has anyone used the Blooming Dahlia clip or clips with a Rose gold bracelet. Or are they a good match?

If so can you post pictures please

I've had the Rose gold bracelet with a couple of charms sitting in my jewellery drawer for many months. I don't quite feel the love and really would like to find a combo I'd wear.............otherwise I'm still thinking I must sell off charms that aren't to my taste anymore. I saw the design below and quite liked it, other than the strawberries and I'm not a fan of the Pandora clips so thought maybe with a bit of shuffling and possible the Dahlia clips it might be for me. I just adore those Honeysuckle pink shimmering droplets charms :heart: :heart:

Any Input would be much appreciated, what have you added to your Rose gold bracelet?? I also think pink is a lovely match with it.

Oh my! It is lovely
I suggest to try your light-blue maritime charms with rose gold and rose the clips on this picture. Saw one in the store and found rose+light blue combo so lovely.

I have most of the charms from your light-blie and love the blingibstarfish - I decided to have one - it stands out better this way, although I also like to repeat the same charms for pattern. I would keep it that eay and wait for new maritime charms :)

I like the idea but I really want to find a place for my "orphaned" pink/red charms that have no place to go :amazed:

I'm also not one for changing my bracelet around, for me once I'm totally happy with my bracelet that's the way it tends to stay. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to keep swapping them from one bracelet to another :panic:

Oh wow, that Pandora Rose and pink combo you found looks so gorgeous @Mulberrygal! I'm not even a pink kind of girl. Ahh. Fighting the need/temptation to start one. So far I'm resisting because as @BurgundyRose said, it's plated, and I just saw your comment saying it dulled already. Boo.

The rose charms have definitely dulled, I was surprised as I've probably only worn them a couple of times and they've been stored since. Do silver charms not dull the same though? I'm sure they must do as eventually they'll tarnish.

I'm going to give the Rose a polish today to see how they come up. I also plan to take them into Pandora for their free clean next time I'm over that way. I wonder if they put them in their Tumbler if they are only plated.

Regular, plain silver definitely dulls and tarnishes as well, but it's easier to clean up and re-shine with silver polishing cloths. I was reading how Pandora Rose is cleaned differently. Makes sense. I found the following maintenance guidelines from Pandora's Website:

These innovative products deserve special care. Maintain the beautiful shine and unique finish by polishing PANDORA Rose™ products with a chemical free soft cloth. Dampen the cloth in lukewarm water, adding a small amount of mild soap, and rub gently on jewelry. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.

If jewelry is particularly dirty, soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Use of silver polishing liquids, silver dips, ultrasonic cleaning and a tumbler should be avoided.

PANDORA polishing cloths with cleaning compound are not recommended for PANDORA Rose™ jewelry. Do not expose the jewelry to harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and remove jewelry prior to bathing or swimming.

Please note that the warm pink-hued color may intensify with age due to tarnishing, adding to the jewelry’s beautiful, vintage appeal. It is normal for the finishing to wear off over time. PANDORA’s warranty does not cover this wear and tear.

Oh thank you so much Xoelle, I'm so glad I read this first before polishing!
I cleaned my Rose charms up with a little soap & water and they are much improved. They had totally lost there lustre, the dangle heart & horseshoe (which are real rose gold) and the heart were the worst. I've added pictures below which aren't brilliant but I think you can see the difference

I didn't know the rose turns darker either. I purchased some used clips some time ago and was horrified when they arrived and were really dark. I sent them back, didn't like them like that at all. I definitely won't be buying anymore, the thought of them going dark has totally put me off.

I've tried some different combinations but very uninspired by them. I'd hoped I could maybe use the red hearts in place of the strawberries in the picture I posted but I'm not liking them at all. I don't like the rose clips either, I prefer the heart clips but have other combos that look much better with them. I guess I'd really need to commit to the shimmering droplet charms to be sure.
I seem to be getting nowhere and I'm just nit going to wear it as it is.
Any ideas anyone, what would you do???

I've solved the problem of my red Muranos & Hearts :p I've got the opportunity to buy some "retired" Xmas charms. I considered started an Xmas themed bracelet the year before last so beginning with a few charms I was going to buy at that time seems a good starting point.

Lol, it's well out of season but I feel quite excited. It's so much easier with a theme and there are loads of gorgeous Xmas charms to choose from. I've googled and found loads of pictures and have formed a basis of a plan. I can also use my Cosmic Clips & my silver star...............I'm planning on no repeats this time, other than the four I already have.

I plan to swap between white & red Muranos and create a winter snow and a Christmas theme.

Can you post a picture of your bracelet AngelaPandora. I don't remember seeing one.

I couldn't resist buying the Sea turtle whilst at the airport last week. He's a lovely addition, plenty of bling. I considered getting the older version but I do love a bit of sparkle. I also feel I'm missing some colour and would like to add a touch of green somehow. It's my only bracelet without Muranos, I'm not sure I'll keep it that way. I may try the Ocean Mosaic which has green and just a touch of blue.

I agree about waiting for the new maritime charms. There are lots of tropical holiday ones for summer 17 which are lovely but I mainly wanted to keep mine to more of a local beach theme as I live by the sea. I really like the tropical starfish/seashell & the tropical ocean life charm that hopefully will be out soon. I'm definitely leaving room for those two although my beach isn't at all tropical:giggle: I think they'll still fit within my local theme............although maybe I'll touch on the Tropical holiday, who knows. That's the beauty of Pandora we can always change, maybe I'll just adjust it when I'm off on holiday, adding sunglasses, cocktails, who knows

Ocean Mosaic, has anyone got one

and my new little fella, Sea Turtle

Yes it's got blue, green and clear CZ, it's very pretty! I got the peacock charm from Pandora at Bicester Village.

Oh I went there recently and got a few redundant charms & a couple of great bargains. It's a big of a long haul for me from the SE but I always try to make a detour whenever remotely near!

Will you add any more charms to your bracelet or keep it like this?

It takes me 2 hours to get to Bicester village but I love going there! Might go again this weekend for the private sale which starts on the 27th.
Not sure if I'll add more charms, depends what the summer collection looks like!

Yes I've got the disc

Yes I've got the discount for this weekend too but won't be going. It's a 4 hour drive for me so I've only ever been 3 times. It's quite out of the way which is a shame but probably for the best :lol:
I've heard it gets horrendously busy when the discount is on! I usually get there at the crack of dawn to take advantage of the quiet, even then Pandora has a queue. It seems the most popular shop, I guess because it's the only one in UK.
