See, I dove in full force. I'm OCD too, initially I only meant to get a couple but by the time I finished I had spent nearly $2000!!! It adds up fast. But now aside for a bear, a pacifier, a stroller and maybe one more I don't think I'll be buying too many more charms. Three bracelets are plenty for me.

I know what you mean. It easy to spend a fortune at the pandora store it easily racks up. I dare add up how much I've spent on them over the years. But probably can get 3 LV bags. :biggrin:

Update: Took the bracelet back to the store where I had it cleaned on Thursday. The manager was not in but apparently made a note in his records that the clip station was already loose when he took it in. Anyway the SA would try to send the bracelet back to HQ on Monday, however she warned that ordinarily they would just replace the bracelet for a new one if within the warranty period (1 year). She's not confident that HQ would even repair but she was a nice SA and promised to do her best. Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile I took out an oxi bracelet which was in my closet for 5 years. Hubby asked me why I didn't wear it when I asked for his help to clasp it on this morning. The lobster clasp is a hassle and I didn't like oxi before. The galaxy openwork rose charm is new.

So it may not be repairable? Means you end up with bracelet with no clip station is still usable have to use those silicon inserts. But on the plus side if do that. You can put the clips anywhere you want.
You know your oxy bracelet with the pink facet murano is gorgeous combo. Along with the shiny smooth silver charms. I think a mix of the more oxy charms that have a lot of texture contrasting with shiny smooth silver charms looks so good. You should wear this bracelet more often it's so chic!

Would love to see your collection but the link to the pic is broken. I do like to try and be symmetrical when possible but not necessarily with the same charm but similar ones. Both of these charms have special meaning: the apple because I'm a teacher and also because it reminds me of the Big Apple, one of my favourite cities. And the teapot because I love tea: chai, black, white, herbal, etc. I have 20 different kinds of tea in my pantry right now. Time for a cuppa.

Sorry for the broken link of my collection, this one's good:

Has anyone bought anything at Ruelala recently? Are they reputable? I was going to order something on there but I googled the site and there are lots of negative comments regarding pandora charms on there being fakes. Does anyone know if it's true?

Wow you got some bargains!! Safety chain for a tenner cheaper than silver spacers!!. The gold spacer is beautiful pity not got a pair. But part of fun is finding the other one:biggrin:. Was there queues at the pandora outlet? Thanks for the heads up on the radiant splendor charm. :smile: the two tone ring charm I love that one I have same one. It's simple but so versatile. I use it a lot. At least you found some goodies. Happy playing with new charms :smile:

There was a queque when I got there but no more than 10 minutes or so, which is how long I usually wait in a regular Pandora store, but later in the afternoon the queque stretched outside.

Definitely not fakes! I just had delivery of five retired charms from Rue La La and I'm thrilled with my purchase as they are hard to find and the prices were great. I can hardly wait for the next pandora boutique sale.

@donnys_pal254 you are very lucky, open bangle fits you great!
I tried it in the store, the fit is not so good.
Love the purple fizzle muranos, they go with everything!

@xoelle what a collection! I love how you styled Carusel charm!

@dinamit thanks for the info about Ruelala site! I would like to see how you combined new charms :smile:
Love how you combined silver, gold, white and black charms on Essence bracelet.
I'm in love with your green-forest-unicorn bracelet. We got the same rope ring :smile:

@AngelaPandora lovely stack! Congrats on new Essence beads!

@Missydora what a collection! I envy a bit on those gorgeus discontinued charms!
Thank you for formula tips for combining charms, i might rearrange mine.
Your two tone bracelet has queen bee, frog, flower and old purse charm (i mention charms that are on my wishlist).

I am in between Essence sizes :sad: So i put my leo essence charm on thin necklace. I don't think i will buy Essence bracelet.
I'm Leo, and my birthday's comming :biggrin:

@princess.shelby white orchid is such a versatile charm, lovely everyday bracelet!

@nanogirl21 bow ring fits good, i think you made the best choice! I wear size 58 in Pandora, i too have "chubby" fingers, statement ("wide") rings fit me better than thin ones, but there are some exceptions.

@Mulberrygal so sory to hear about essence clasp malfunction :sad: Glad to hear everything end up well. I think there is safety chain for essence bracelet, it might help.
Both your and @rose10 bracelets are gorgeus.

@rose10 i liked your two tone bracelet before you splitting the charms.

@haruki2008 i like your bracelet. It has a story to tell, one only you know.
When i first started, i tried to put charms randomly, there was a story told with charms, but i couldn't wear the bracelet because it wasn't symmetrical. I didn't like how it looked on me. So i made several stories and continue to add charms to complement my story.

I hope i didn't mix my answers, sorry for long post.

Wow your collection is huge!!. I love the old charm's especially the two tones from like 10 years ago. There's something very elegant about them. The designs were very cohesive as a collection and tended to go well together a lot easier to create a balanced bracelet as the charms were all of similar sizes too. When I look back at the old Pandora catalogues the bracelets look so different to now. I found from since 2-3 years ago it's been a lot harder to incorporate the new designs to older charms and they're bigger in size to especially alot of the older two tones being slightly smaller and daintier.
Since Pandora gone to a new direction and complete redesign of most of the old charms. I have been able to find a few in each new collection I can use. Yet
I do love the bling a glitzy pave charms when I see ladies bracelets with them it's so glam. But my skin tone don't suit it. So not bought any. Might just get some pave spacers to add a bit of bling.
