Yes you're so right. I wish the two tone bracelet or full gold one would go on a half price sale. I would be really tempted!

Just thought I would share my two tone bracelet. I've reordered all my charms and love this one so much! Stil have my eyes on the two tone love clip that I am hoping will go on sale! I refuse to buy charms at full price when I see them a few months later at 50% off!

It's lovely, I really like it the way you've arranged them. I actually prefer the signature clasp two-tone to my gold clasp one, it's very pretty. I wear mine with only a few charms and love the gold ones on silver, they really stand out.

I'm exactly the same when buying the charms, they all get reduced and I won't pay full price. They're all so overpriced for what they are but I do love them and have been hooked for some time .................and your definitely right, it's a real shame they don't reduce that gold one by 50% . I succumbed in the end and was lucky enough to order one at the airport and got a sensible saving but I wish it had been more

Yours is so beautiful! How do you keep the charms from sliding down all around the bracelet? Thats a great idea about getting the gold one at the airport. That's probably the only way to get a saving. I wonder if anywhere else do plain gold bangles that have a similar clean look to them. I just want one on its own with no charms.

Thank you! I am very excited .
Ha, she might not be into jewellery at all! I adore jewellery and it is definitely what I like to spend my money on the most. My mother, however, who happened to have the most stunning collection of fine jewellery wasn't into it all. Most items were gifted to her and she just didn't care for them.



Thank you NLVOEWITHLV, I wish you the same. Is it our first you are expecting? I have to admit that I'm enjoying being off work too much and right now the thought of going back doesn't appeal at all...We'll serif this will change after a year at home with three kids .

This is not my first but it is my last, I'm done! Wow three is a lot, you probably will want to go back just to get out the house. I'm already a little stir crazy without a job.

So beautiful and lots of intricately detailed charms to feast my eyes on. Bet it's a nice relief to finish a bracelet
I've yet to look at Autumn releases yet. I normally like the Autumn ones more the the summer collections. Hope they have some nice ones.

Thanks . I too tend to like the Autumn releases more. Having had a look at the previews, there's currently one charm I like from this Autumn's collection and I like the look of the mesh bracelet but not sure what it's like IRL. It will be a while before I can go to a Pandora store yet.

Gorgeous, loads of lovely unusual charms. How long did it take to put together, I love your Avitar, have you just changed it?

I'm going to call a halt to my collection now and I sort of daren't look We are downsizing everything at the moment to move to a far smaller property. It's very exciting but space will be very limited and no room for a bigger jewellery drawer

How is your ankle holding up and do you have any exciting news for us? Wising you lots of happiness with your new bundle of joy..........a baby girl will be wonderful to even up the balance in your favour. I had boys so I know what it's like.........no pandora/handbags or girlie talk..........all sport, cars, more cars,

Totally agree, the gold is crazy prices, then they end up half price in the sale, which is more realistically priced.

Thanks Mulberrygal. I'm ashamed to admit that the bracelet took only about a month to complete, if that, as I had about 7 or 8 of the charms already and got gifted 3 for my birthday. The rest I purchased in a matter of weeks including the long coveted two tone bracelet which I love.

The avatar pic has been recently changed after years. It shows five of my bracelets but it's impossible to see them in detail, so I might change it when I have the time.

I halted collecting for about year and a half when I literally didn't buy anything, but gone completely crazy recently. I blame being on mat leave and too much time on my hands .

The ankle is all shades of bruised, thanks for asking. I had the baby only three days after the injury and was worried about how I will birth her, but luckily I was able to rest some weight on the leg by then. I am absolutely in love with my daughter, she is a week old today.

I can totally relate to cars and more cars, it's such a manly household our one. Today my eldest was making some paper models and telling me all about the different types of swords these characters use, which I knew nothing about, and I just had a brainwave that one day someone will be telling me about unicorns or something she made and it was a really nice thought . I look forward to sharing a lifetime of girliness with her (I bet she is going to be a real tomboy now!)

This is not my first but it is my last, I'm done! Wow three is a lot, you probably will want to go back just to get out the house. I'm already a little stir crazy without a job.

How are things coming along for you? I really enjoying being at home, I don't miss work at all so far but perhaps it's early days yet. Maybe after a year I will be ready to go back. Enjoy the freedom!

A few more pictures of the green bracelet showing more or less all the charms. Can you tell I'm really enjoying it at the moment?

We're flooded in, I'm just hoping I don't go into labor I'm like 38 weeks, due 09/11. I'm having pains and pressure but not contractions yet.

yay congratulations on your new arrival!!. I wondered whether you had had her or not or she was being stubborn and not want to be born yet . Both my girls were born 3 weeks late and weighed around 5lb 10ozs. But still ended up with stitches and needing forceps .
Your bracelet Is very memorising I can stare at the details of each charm for ages . Hope you and baby are doing well

Omg! I only read what was posted to me, I didn't see that she had her baby!!! Congrats! I hope I'm next, I'm getting kinda miserable!!!

Yeah this brings back memories the last 2 weeks is so tiring and generally feeling fed up, couldn't walk up the stairs with the ankle swelling and could never get enough sleep. You've not long to go, nearly there now

Can anyone tell me if the enamel bangles are oval or circular?

I believe they are oval.

Not long now. I had the pains and the pressure too for quite some weeks beforehand. You will be holding your girl before you know it!

Thanks Missydora . Wow your girls were three weeks late? My firstborn was 10 days overdue and I could barely walk by the end. Some babies just don't want to come out.
I am absolutely in love with my daughter but sadly she sustained an injury during the birth which causes me worry, though she is feeding well and thriving which is reassuring.

Omg! I only read what was posted to me, I didn't see that she had her baby!!! Congrats! I hope I'm next, I'm getting kinda miserable!!!

Many thanks NLVOE. You so are next; please keep us posted with your news and of course kill your time waiting on the Pandora thread . The Autumn Winter release is due this week in the UK, so that should keep us occupied.

So my white and gold bracelet has become a spotty and gold bracelet. I got these spotty murano beauts over the past few weeks from various European online jewellers.

I wanted some of these retired muranos for the longest time and wish I could collect the other colours too, but they are so rare and expensive now.

I was lucky I found these for the RRP and new. I wish there was more variety to muranos these days, they used to be so interesting and not just the shimmery variety.

Excuse the badly lit bathroom pics!

 

[dinamit]

Mulberrygal, have your open bangles warped at all? I got one but it was on display so it was bent, probably through being tried on a lot. It really bothered me so I went back to the store today to swap it and they pulled another couple from the drawer, all bent in varying degrees. I got the best one but wonder if they all deteriorate after a while and look kind of flimsy...I hope not.

They also let me swap one of the snake chain bracelets I got in the promo for something else and pay the difference, which was great. Maybe you should persevere with your store regarding the swap you want. You might just get the right person on the day.

These are beautiful combos!
