They are authentic and tax free, but they charge a flat rate $9.95 shipping charge everynthorty days. So if all you buy are a couple charms you pay a whopping shipping charge. If you buy other things during that time it lessens it but it often keeps me from buying.

The clasp on my Essence bracelet became loose, it fell off a couple of times! It was really tight and hard to fasten initially. I managed to find the receipt which was dated just over a year ago. When I contacted the store they said the warranty period was 2 years
They replaced it with a new one, no questions asked. I even got a new receipt which covered it for another 2 years
I think your Oxy bracelet looks lovely. The Oxy is one of my favourites and I have four. It really makes the silver & pave charms stand out and I love it with pink, blue, purple.
It's due for delivery today
I'll wear the bangle layered Dinamit and probably not wear any charms on it. I only wear one charm on my Essence bracelets. I tried a few combinations but didn't like the look with more. I've got a safety chain but have never worn it as I just really hate the look..........
3 round blobs in a row. I was disappointed with the choice of bracelet even though we actually had the choice of about six this time. I picked the pave heart but would really have liked another open ended bangle. I so wish they would just let you pick what you want and pay the difference.
I'm going to try and change it but don't think they'll go for it

Ooh you're very lucky. I've not heard anyone say that before. I really don't know why they all can't let you choose if you make up the difference
I'm in the UK and this is the first time I can remember having such a good choice on the free bracelets promo. Last year and the year before we only had the choice of Essence bracelets. I think it's whatever isn't selling well.
I ordered online this time as the website offers cashback.........at least I got a little off. I got the pave heart bracelet and I'm going to take it into my local store and see if they will change for the open bangle.
@Mulberrygal, I'm glad they replaced a new bracelet for you. My bracelet is way out of the warranty period. I called the nice SA yesterday and she told me that HQ has not given news on whether they could repair my bracelet, but she's following up and told me not to worry.
I got my oxy bracelet as a freebie years ago when I purchased charms at that store. Because this bracelet came with a lobster clasp instead of the normal snap clasp, I found it a hassle. Also at that time the SA recommended that I start a gold collection on the oxy, because gold contrasts well with oxy. But I never got around to it because I was collecting charms over time for my silver bracelet. I guess it's time to enjoy the oxy more!

Yes I noticed your bracelt was out of the warranty period but strange how they are quoting you 1 year warranty and it's 2 years in the UK
I think your Oxy bracelet looked very pretty and I'd definitely wear it more if it were me. I'm not keen on the Oxy with gold, I've one with a gold clasp and I've stuck mostly to silver & two tone silver/gold charms. I love seeing the bright silver against the greyish effect. They really stand out but the gold is so small on the two tones, in most cases you wouldn't know it's there!
Yes it's a shame they don't standardise the warranty offering in all countries. If my bracelet had been within the 2 years I would definitely have pressed them for it.
I will take your and missydora's comments to put bright shiny silver charms on the oxy. What do you think about rose gold charms on oxy?
I think the pink & purple look lovely on your Oxy. I'm not so keen on the Rose gold but that's just personal preference. If you like them then do it
I love the pave charms which I know lots of Pandora fans don't like. I'll try to add a pic with some on my Oxy bracelet
Some new additions to the green bracelet post birthday. My best friend gifted me the peridot birthstone filigree heart since this is both mine and my daughter's birthstone.
Sister in law very generously gave me the gold family forever locket dangle with the beautiful tree. It's so substantial; it really needed another large dangle to balance it - I think the unicorn does a pretty decent job.
Another charm that I'm particularly in love with is the cathedral ceiling cross in the middle. Very rare and discountinued, I have searched for it for over a year. Used they go for about £150-200. I couldn't believe when I saw it listed on German Amazon at the original price and new condition. It was down as a style number without a pic and I chanced ordering it not actually expecting it to be the correct bead arriving. I was well amazed when it did!
Anyway, rubbish photo but just a quick snap. I'll try to take some better ones alongside the other new additions when I find a moment.

GorgeousWhat time is it? Time to stop buying more Pandora Essence.
I can't help it, I love to mix and match my Essence beads. Thank you for letting me share!
I think the warranty is standardised; one year for silver, two years for two tone and gold pieces.
Any luck with changing the bracelet? I got gifted the rose clasp bangle as part of the promo andwould love to change it as I'm not into Pandora rose. The bangle came with other bits given to me for my birthday so no receipt. I hope I can change it.Ooh you're very lucky. I've not heard anyone say that before.
