Beautiful bracelets Kiuty77, especially love the use of the Purple seaglass muranos. Did you buy all that at once?
Xoelle, that box looks great, do you mind my asking where you can buy it? Most of my charms are on bracelets for now but I already have some loose ones that I just throw in a box. I heard they're going to start selling the Pandora jewellery boxes in Australia this year so I'll have to save up for that.
Mulberrygal - the Love Cartier bracelet is so beautiful, what a treasured memory from your parents.

Here's another one of my bracelets, this is my Mythical Forest & Fairy one. (I love the unicorn!) It's missing the Pixie Two-tone which I've already ordered and the Frog Prince which I would like to add at some point. Since the bracelet is only 17cm I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit in anymore charms. I guess it's an advantage to have the smaller bracelet since it costs less to add charms but it limits you on designs. I'd also like to change the safety chain but not sure which one. Any ideas?

Cheers ladies. Happy Sunday!

I love the green accents on your bracelet! Goes really well with your theme
I have a bit of a fairy theme going on mine also and I've been eyeing the frog prince charm too

I've never felt my open ended bangle could fall off, you have to bend it to get it on. It's quite stiff and a little difficult to get on and feels totally secure. I don't think a safety chain would work with it.

I purchased the medium and the large as I just couldn't decide which was right for me. The large feels totally secure too. I wanted the pave one and I was really surprised I liked the one with the Pandora ends too. I felt the Pave looked too much with other glitzy charms & the Pandora ends were understated.

I've only worn mine with the open side upwards with a couple of charms and it doesn't move around at all. These are some pics I took when they first arrived whilst I was trying them out. They stack beautifully with other bracelets when worn this way but I'm eager now to try with some charms in the middle if that's where they'll stay :tup:

I'm really fancying those open-ended bangles, I like the way you can just put a couple of charms near the ends and it's not too full-on - as you say, understated. I also have a feeling they would look great stacked up with my snake chain bracelet I think I see one of these in my future

Thank you for your assistance Mulberrygal! Much appreciated. :)

Love your mystical forest-themed bracelet! Green is my favorite color.

I think they are perfect for stacking. I don't like a too heavy look and I'd say you can put them with any other bracelet and find a common theme by adding a couple of charms.

I'm looking forward to trying them out with some charms to the centre tho when I get home.

Love your fairytale themed bracelet!
I got all but 4 of the charms and the bracelets in one visit. My hubby was mad lol.

They're great, what a haul, did you buy all of them at once :wtf:

Can you add a pic of the open ended bangle when worn. Do you wear the ends under the wrist and the charms on top and does it move about! I've only tried mine with one charm and spacer at each end and worn with the open end upwards. I'd be interested to see what it looks like the other way and does it stay put?

I am not wearing my pink set today but just to give you an idea what they look like stacked. I love my bagle because I can change the charms quickly to pair with either of my bracelets. I do wear with the open side facing down.

Hello! I have a question about the fit of the open bangle. If you've purchased one, what size did you get and what size do you wear in the regular or bangle bracelet? I bought the pave bracelet in size 1 but wear a size 19 in the bangle. I am feeling like the size 1 is a little too small but size 2 is a little too loose.
 
Hi All,

I used to passionately follow this thread a couple of years ago when my Pandora obsession was at its peak, but I amassed so much and got disillusioned with the new collections, and so didn't purchase anything new for almost a year. Tracking down retired charms in new condition is still a hobby of sorts, as I am so sad many of them got discontinued before I got a chance to get them.
Anyhow, it's been great seeing everyone's creations and here is a bracelet I put together v quickly and really enjoy at the moment. I think all are retired now - crazy! All the two tones are meant for a 'green' bracelet I am collecting for, but being put to good use in the meantime. Pictures not great as taken in bad lighting but you get the jyst. I love the weight of it; the bracelet feels really solid and I miss the weighty silver charms Pandora used to do as opposed to all the bejewelled ones.

I only have the open bangle. It is the size L. The size M is a little too snug for my liking. I prefer a little bit looser fit for a better stacking look.

I really want the pave version. I wear a 19cm snake chain and felt size 2 in the open bangle would be a good fit for wearing a few small charms. The SA even advised on size 3 if planning to wear with muranos or quite a few charms. Do post pics please.

I do love this, what a fab bracelet! I've been planning a green bracelet for over a year and now many of the charms I want are retired, including the olive green murano. Will definitely have to do something about it before they become too hard to track down. Love the emerald green ones too.
