Maybe if I wear a watch with the 19 that would work! The Pandora box I have is not two tiered, it's the one with the spaces at the back to hold your unused charms (it's a metal hanger), with lots of spaces for earrings and rings too
 
Thanks iVALANI!



My pleasure :smile1:. Did you get them? I also had the same idea when I saw the new fascinating irdescence muranos - they are stunning. In that case I would transfer to of the midnight muranos to my necklace, which is currently empty and crying for attention.



All the beads I buy are from my little fund, unless it's my birthday or Christmas, and then my hubby knows where to go or adds to my fund as in all honesty, I am not easy to shop for :thinkin:

Your collection has grown significantly since last year :D you have so many goldies now??? They go so well with the muranoes you have, well chosen. It's very classic and elegant looking black and gold.
I'm still thinking about whether to get the midnight muranoes as I have never tried dark blue, not sure if it suits my skin tone. Going to see if the fascinating iridescence looks OK on my wrist first. I think the midnight muranoes look better with silver and sparkly charms than all the two tones I have so will mean me getting quite a few beads to complete the bracelet. It's going to take ages and I'm wondering if I got the patience :D and forgoing all the other beads I want to get. I tend to buy new beads that I know will go with what I've already got you see.
 
I've never seen that murano in person, it's gorgeous. I hope you'll be able to find it.
But anyway, that white murano seems a bit out of place, I think a regular black one would blend so well, especially since it would be placed between the two gold charms.

This is my new murano. Instead of starting with my holiday bracelet I go and buy this green murano, no idea what I'll pair it with but I love it. :smile1:

That's a lovely looking muranoe I've never seen this version in green seen alot of pink ones, but that green is such a nice soft shade.
 
A question to the many ladies on this forum who have more than one Pandora bracelet; how do you choose which one to wear on any given day? Do you pick to complement your outfit? Do you have a favourite? If so, how often do you wear the others? And how and where do you store your Pandora so that it's easily accessible in the morning rush?

Would love to hear everyone's Pandora habits so please share :smile1:.

Luckily my bracelets go with majority of what I wear they are wardrobe friendly:D. I tend to wear the same arrangement for 5 days before I change it. Break up the monotony. Or start stacking. So far my favourite is my Blush crystals bracelet really enjoying them as they are colour changing from different angles and lighting, to the point its quite distracting but in a good way. :laugh: I still store my bracelet in the Pandora bracelet box along with all the loose beads. I'm really bad I sleep with mine on :laugh: but I don't go to the bath shower with it on though.
 
One bracelet is bigger than the other as I wanted to try a 19 cm bracelet (18 cm stretched is prefect on me). I am not sure what to do about it I feel like I made the wrong decision there going a bigger size. The 19 hasn't fully stretched yet and it already hands quite low!!! [emoji33].

Very nice looking stack! I think bottom photo, bracelet does look like is hanging a bit low. If its hanging too low to the point it's bugging you are able to still exchange it? If you put muranoes on, it will hang less low though. I bet your between sizes 18.5cm would be perfect for you:smile1: I'm between sizes too I need a 16.5cm ideally, hence why I have to wear mine very full. Otherwise it hangs too low not on a bangle but on the bracelet when it's slack loosened up. When I first started out with pandora I had a 18cm bracelet far too big for me, I had to put 5 muranoes, wear it full before it felt right size for my wrist, but it weighed a ton :laugh:

Yeah i think I need to add muranos or exchange back to an 18 to be honest haha

I saw a friend of mine wear hers quite low down and it looks so lovely on her but she did have muranos! I'm not a huge fan of muranos on the bracelets, I prefer them on the bangles (I don't know why)
 
Some size comparison pics ... I've never done this before so apologies if the pics aren't very good. The first pic shows my 7 year old bracelet vs my 2 month old. I love to wear the old one more it's more comfy around my wrist and it has stretched quite a bit .

The second is my 19 cm bracelet vs 19 cm bangle. I think the bangle with a few charms is my perfect fit or the 18 cm stretched with the bracelet not completely full.

Thanks for letting me share!

I have many bracelets and beads (many not Pandora as I collect other brands too and mix) and I don't keep any combos together long term. I might have up to 5 bracelets made up at a given time, sometimes just 1 or 2 made up, I usually wear 1-2 bracelets or bangles at a time. I might wear a combo just once and then break it up due to wanting to use a bead on it for something else, or keep it together a week or 2. I do tire of combos really quickly, but I never tire of individual beads. Sometimes I make up bracelets at night while watching TV or something, or I do make them up in the mornings too, I have gotten pretty quick at doing it. I keep everything in 3 boxes so it's easy to grab and find-one for empty bracelets and murano groups in small plastic bags, one for all my metal beads, and one for muranos that has charms rods (I now have too many muranos to fit in this box so that's why some are with the bracelets now).
 
It is...I regret not buying them before they were retired as they really vary and I could have chosen good matches. Now I take whatever I can get, and these two are quite different; one has purpley shades and the other doesn't.

The white murano didnt't seem out of place before I added the other two muranos as it was the only one, and the white front was the focal point of the bracelet, but now it's there for the interim only.

I love your new murano, so fresh and dare I say romantic. I also bought beads on a whim just because I liked them without them really fitting in with my plans, but they always found a home :smile1:

I actually planed to start a green bracelet but somehow the midnight sparkly one happened instead...:wacko:

P.S. I just thought that your new murano might look lovely with pandora rose. Is that what you had in mind?

I would love to get my hands on some of the rose gold charms but I will have to wait until I go abroad or purchase them online as we don't have them here.
I got the green murano at that jewelry store I told you about.

I have the exact same problem. I am waiting for my oxy (18) to stretch and my regular siver bracelet (19) sits quite low on my wrist, even when it's full. I hope it won't stretch too much. :hrmm: Because that would mean I'd be able to slide it off my wrist and that would NOT be good.

That's a lovely looking muranoe I've never seen this version in green seen alot of pink ones, but that green is such a nice soft shade.

Thanks Missydora. I don't think I've ever seen it before, it's discontinued.

Lovely pics! :smile1:

Regarding dinamit's question, I either wear the full bracelet on its own or the oxy with maximum 7-8 charms, or I wear them both half-filled with charms, as I am doing today, see pics below. I also never tried wearing them on both wrists or with a watch.

So in first pic both are 18cm? The bracelet on the left has really stretched a bit!. Is it 19cm now?. I bet its annoying on one hand having to wait till the 18cn stretch a bit for it to feel comfy and the worrying whether the 19cm will stretch too much. 19cm bangle ideal, but I know a lot of people don't like the feel of it full as the shapes too rigid doesn't mold the wrist. I'm kind of like the opposite i like the roundness structure when full. It's whatever your comfortable with that matters:smile1: I love your pink and gold creation photo 1 bracelet on the left goes so well with the very glam clasp.

Wow! It looks so edgy stacked with how you've done it.
 
This is how I wore mine today. Illustrates how low it hangs down my hand. It's about as far as I like it to go.

Missydora, for me, this is the perfect positioning of the bracelet.
Even when completely full, my 19 definitely hangs lower than that. And it still hasn't stretched. :-s
But there is no way for me to have an 18 completely full without the charms making imprints on my wrist and the bracelet feeling uncomfortably tight, which I hate. I am definitely something in between, 18.5 would be perfect I guess, if they had that.
