Thanks for the compliments ladies! I have definitely decided now that I can't live with the 19 cm. good for now but definitely too big on me when it stretches!

When there is a bangle promotion in Australia I think I'll be looking to buy some discontinued charms (mainly muranos :)) I need some colour on my bracelet I think!

Any ladies with the Pandora bangle and have it full with charms? I would like to know if it's comfortable to wear. And I heard that if you want to have a full bangle, you should go one size up (because it doesn't stretch like the bracelets). Please let me know! Xx

My bangle is half full and is getting a bit tight - I imagine if I was to fill it completely, I would need to buy a bigger bangle.

My rose and silver bangle is half full. Still comfortable enough to wear, but the charms don't move around as much anymore, which is an indication that it's a bit tighter.

The thing that I loved about Trollbeads are all the semi-precious stone beads that really complement the glass. What I disliked about the brand are the exorbitant prices for two tone charms, and dont even get me started on the price of gold (although admittedly it is 18c) :faint:. I also found it hard to source the beads, not many places are stocking Trollbeads in London and those that do had quite limited stock where as the range is huge. And lastly...it is much harder to recognise authentic beads bought online and from dealers.

I really like the pink agate stone set they do, was really tempted to get them last year they were about £130 for 6 but have to buy online as there's not many shops that stock it. Didnt want to take the risk. Yeah the gold charms are truly bank breaking! They look really nice with the pink agate too :D not worth my marriage for though :D

I wear bangle fairly full, because I have small wrist 13cm because 17cm bangle is the smallest they do, I can get away with it full and it not being uncomfortable but more the case it being a bit heavy sometimes. This is a old picture I uploaded on here last year, but it shows nearly full bangle with and without muranoes to compare.

Wow you really have a small wrist, I thought mine was small (14 cm). I hope a full 17cm bangle will fit me :) I can't exchange anymore. And I love the design of your bangle....very romantic

I love the look of your bangle. I'm not a silver person at all, but I want to try Pandora. The gold starter bracelet is a redic price though...so I was def thinking about the silver starter with gold charms mixed with silver, like yours, instead. Gold is so expensive these days!

I also never liked silver before started my charm brace. However I'm in love now! And I even wear my gold watch with my bracelets and it looks great together! Gold can be "in your face" and I think the two tone charms/bracelet is a great way to wear gold without being too offensive. :) you'll love pandora and be addicted in no time! Xx

Thanks! I have been wearing gold since I was a baby, plus it matches my complexion very well. It doesn't hurt to do something different though. I can't wait :p

Thank you. :smile1:Yeah my small wrist is a pain, I have to have links taken off for watches. Extra holes put for leather straps. Can't get Pandora leather bracelets their too big. I think if you fill with just charms or with a couple of muranoes you will be fine. 18cm is definatley too big for me I need to have it full and put 6 muranoes on a bangle that size to make it feel right.

Thank you rose:smile1: there's 1 two tone charm on the two bracelet that's not pandora its a chamilla my hubby bought me my first two tone 6 years ago but didn't know at the time whether I had a chamilla or a Pandora bracelet but luckily it still fit. I prefer Pandora older 2 tones they don't design and make them like them anymore, its a shame.

I have a child sized wrist, it's exactly 5" around or a little lass than 13 cm. it's sooo hard to find anything for me. I'm hoping the smallest sized bangle has a better fit than the regular bracelet in the smallest size...that fit me well at first but now it's stretched out to where it's too loose for my liking. I'm hoping it will fit better as I fill it up! I can't wait to get my new bangle next week with the Black Friday promotion! :)

The two tone look is also my favorite look...I would love to mix some solid God charms or spacers in but we'll see. The gold is pretty expensive!
