The PANDORA thread

[dinamit]

I choose the bracelet which suits the occasion/outfit normally. I wear two full bracelets (one on each wrist) and a bangle (on my left wrist) on a daily basis and I love it! I try to enjoy all my pandora bracelets equally.

I have a silver and purple themed one which is my daily one, I wear that most since it does go with a lot of my office wear. Then on my other hand I wear either my pinky gold theme, my red Christmas theme, or green leather (daisy meadow themed) or my black leather (travel themed).

My pinky gold and red Christmas ones both have Christmas charms through it too, I can't resist buying festive charms! They are my favourite

I use a freebie pandora jewellery box to store all my Pandora

Luckily my bracelets go with majority of what I wear they are wardrobe friendly. 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. 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 but I don't go to the bath shower with it on though.

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).

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. Because that would mean I'd be able to slide it off my wrist and that would NOT be good.



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



Lovely pics!

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.

Well we certainly all have very different Pandora habits . I was asking because when I am working (I'm currently on maternity leave), I tend to get stuck in a rut and reach for the two-tone oxy with the black muranos the most, as it's more elegant and matches everything. I tend to wear the gold and white bracelet more during the summer months when I have a tan as it pops on my skintone, and the other bracelets I wear occasionally. I have 9 in total now (including the leathers and the essence) and because of the morning rush I don't swap them as much as I would like to. I am intrigued by the lady who manages to swap beads in the morning - respect!

Now that I am off work, I wear my silver sentimental bracelet with the dangles a lot more, as it's more casual and fits in with my current lifestyle. I don't know if it's the hormones playing havoc, but I am starting to like hearts and more cutsey feminine charms that are pretty (eg the heart with the pink CZ bow) which I would have NEVER gone for previously. Go figure

I got the goldies with black detail (x2) during the winter sales in 2014 and had one of the gold chsins gifted to me for Christmas whilst I got the other half price. The rest are from 2013. It all adds up. Like you, I wait for the opportunity to get them; I bought a couple at good prices at the Heathrow Duty Free believe it or not!

I completely forgot to look in Pandora store at Heathrow argh lost opportunity gone then was there twice this year aswell

New subtle stack to accomodate my new T&Co silver cuff... The crown charm was actually one of my first two charms that I bought at Pandora over a year ago, but it got lost on Christmas when I took it off to put on one of the charms I got as a gift that day. So I finally replaced it last week and used some of those rubber clip holders Pandora gives out to hold these charms in place on triple leather bracelet. I think I might buy another triple just to wear by itself so that I don't have to keep assembling and un-assembing them.

My other bracelets as of now... the themes are My Favorite Animals and a Few Of My Favorite Things, haha. The dog, Moneybag, and Elephant are new. I'm gonna wear a bracelet on my left hand with my Apple Watch when I finally get my replacement one back from the AppleCare/The Genius Bar.



I bought a Rose bracelet with rose clips and a rose heart with CZs too but I'm returning it, as much as I like it. I rarely wear rose gold and its just too expensive to have taking up room in my jewelry box. I'm deciding on one more charm to help weigh down my Favorite Things bracelet though!

Your stack is beautiful!

 

[dinamit]

Both clip looks very pretty!!!
Maybe one of this charms is good to add on the right?

And definitely if I see the gold spacers will let you know

Thanks Dynasty. I love the first bead.mat some point I will start a green bracelet with two-tone charms mostly so it might well be worth purchasing.

Your turning girly I think I have more charms with hearts then any others . I never used to think i would like pave but now daughter bought me one. I quite like it, does add touches of sparkle. Change is good as they say

This is in dark day light

This is in semi bright daylight

This is with lights on in the room. I would also second if you ladies buy these blush crystals to look at them in person. Dynasty I think my 1st photo looks a bit like yours.

Your pictures are amazing. Do you use a phone or a camera?

I use a Samsung note 4 phone. It's a bit big for my little hands but great for my eye sight.

Indeed it is. The problem is there is now a much wider pool of Pandora charms I lust after

Beats iphone for picture quality, that's for sure.

Thank You!! I was unsure of the clips on it and had a silly notion that my two tone bracelet needed to have all two tone charms on it...but its not really about that i realized, its what makes you happy and charms that hold special memories/meaning irrespective of what materials they are made from.

That is so true!!!
I'm really new with Pandora, my first bracelet I've been working now only have two different charms which is Golden Radiance represent my mom and Royal Crown represent my dad.
So many stories in my life, it's been up and down but no matter what and how it is this two person always there for me with love and patience.
I know that is how parents is should be but for me my parents have a gold heart that will never can be replace ❤️

So I found this pot whilst clearing the cupboards, my kids bought me it a few years ago. I'm going to put it into good use. It's going to be my gold clasp bracelet fund. It's one of those pots that has to be smashed to get the money out so stops me from being naughty dip into it. It say's it can hold up to £1k in £2 coins. Well if I can get that far I can buy a all gold bracelet, yippee!!. I've only started today so got a way to go??. If I get a gold clasp now I would have to be good not buy charms for ages. Thats too much of compromise. I figure this would be a good idea

So this is my blush crystal on a dull gloomy UK weather. It's kind of a berry colour.

GORGEOUS!!! [emoji175][emoji175][emoji175]
