I am curious to know how everyone creates their bracelet. My hubby is buying me a bracelet and the 2 beads for our 10 year anniversary. He is choosing them. We are on a tight budget and plan on buiying one every once in a while for special occasions. Anyone just create a bracelet?

Pandora is nice, because you really can add beads at any time. I usually make one bracelet per year. Promotion time is good, it helps to keep the cost down. Check rue la la sales too.

Thanks for the compliments ladies, thanks for letting me Share. Here's my latest bracelet, all silver but I love it as much as the one with gold.




So cute!!






Lovely, I really like the new collection.








What an awesome promo!!









I really like these colours, beautifull.








We are on a tight budget too and that's why I earn extra money by buying and selling pre -used Pandora bracelets and charms. I buy a full bracelet and sell the charms seperately, that way the sell more expensive than a full bracelet does and it gives me my charm - budget. This is my collection and I did it all by myself. I don't mind getting it for myself, this way I never get charms that I don't like and if my heart ever gets broken I can still enjoy my collection

Yay!! My hubby was able to take me today. I am so excited. Since it is my first bracelet from Pandora, I had to get a bracelet. I was only able to get 1 charm and the free charm. I picked the teddy with the blue ribbon because of my baby boy. I think it was the biggest change in my life and our relationship. The mickey heart for my hubby and me. We love disney. I have some concerns and I hope you guys can help me out.

1. Is my bracelet too big? The SA chose it and said it was a good size. I am concered that if I get the safety chain it be too big and still fall off, or too small and I can't fit charms.

2. They SA asked me if I wanted to walk out wearing it. I did. When I got home I noticed I didn't get a bag or box. I don't really mind, unless the box is necessary for storing.

3. My Mickey and Minnie charm was placed in the middle. An hour later it was screwed on the end by the clasp. Is it normal for them to be just moving around past the dividers? The bear has not done it. Just want to make sure nothing is wrong with my charm or bracelet.

4. Do I need the other kind of charms. The ones that clip in the dividers and the one with the chain?

Thank you!!

Congrats on your first bracelet and welcome to the addiction! :p

1. I think the size looks good if you plan to fill this bracelet up. I plan to get a size larger than I originally bought if I get more bracelets, I have 1 chain the size larger and it is much better when full, the smaller size is okay full but a little on the tight side for me, and I thought that size was big when I first bought it!

2. Packaging is personal choice, but I don't use any of my packaging/boxes and don't bother with it anymore as I find it wasteful, I'm fine with tissue, a jewelry pouch, whatever.

3. Charms will move on bracelets that aren't full. I would get a set of 2 clips, especially if you won't fill your bracelet right way as it will keep the charms in the section you want them. Even when full, I think they recommend using clips but I often cheat and place openwork charms over the clip stations as it gives a little more flexibility and causes less rigidity in a very full bracelet.

4. See above about clips. Safety chain is a personal choice, I don't use it and I've never had a bracelet unexpectedly open.

Hope that helps, have fun with your new bracelet! :D

So I went back and got some more charms. I got minnie and mickey clips and a minnie Cupcake. I told the SA how I was sad that I forgot I wanted the heart bracelet. She was very and said she would switch it for me. She also suggested that I get a smaller bracelet since it will stretch. Now I have only 1 question, My bracelet seems stiff. Like I have to use a bit of force to connect it. That's even when I am not wearing it. Is that normal?
