Hey everybody! :) I joined the forum just for this awesome thread! I LOVE your creations, so cute and inspiring!

Here is my Pandora baby! I would appreciate your critiques on it. What do you guys think of my choices and how I could improve it? Feel free to give me tips as I would appreciate them! :)

Hi,
Great choice on the two tone bracelet. I like how is well balanced. It looks fabulous. I think as you move with bracelet two and three you will be playing and mixing newer beads with already owned ones; at least that's what happened to me ;)
 
Thank you so much! :) I had a lot of fun putting my beads in order. Its awesome when it dawns on you what you can add to achieve a better balance. In the case of my first bracelet, which I've named "love and luck", adding the white mother of pearl hearts bead totally complimented the black one, though in the beginning the white one didn't do too much for me and I always overlooked it in the store.

I plan to do a little bit more swapping on this bracelet. I think I will swap out the horseshoe for the gold crown with pink sapphire dangle and change the clips for the two tone hearts and pink sapphire ones, I've got the new beads on order.

What I'm questioning, and would appreciate you guys' advice on, is whether my bracelet would look better if I added another pink heart murano and lotus murano at the top on either side of the safety chain? I really can't decide if this would look better and, if so, whether I should lose the silver buddha and doggie OR the yin yang and purple enamel? Hmmmm... What do you guys think?

My second bracelet is going to be another two tone called "Feast your eyes on this" :D Its going to be sweet food themed including the Pandora cupcake, the gold strawberry, the wedding cake. Plus some non Pandora beads including the Penn state sterling silver ice cream and these gorgeous custom made pink lampwork cupcakes I have sourced from a bead artist in the UK. Plus some yet to be selected additional pink themed charms from Pandora.

My third is going to be a troll bracelet for something a little different! I have a lot of stuff on order so am very excited to get designing it!
 
I don't have a bracelet yet but have been thinking about getting one for a very long time...I am thinking of getting the silver bracelet with this charm in the centre http://www.pandora.net/en-US/jewellery/collections/moments/790225, two of these spacers on either side: http://www.pandora.net/en-US/jewellery/collections/moments/790303, and then two of these: http://www.pandora.net/en-US/jewellery/collections/moments/790394 Would I need a safety chain if the bracelet isn't yet full??
I want to carefully plan it out and I only want charms that have meaning and I love that anchor charm!

This is just my two cents. Feel free to take it or leave it:smile1:.

I think your bracelet would look more balanced with two more pink muranos. You wouldn't necessarily have to repeat the ones that you already have. The pink mystic murano with gold would be fantastic! The yin yang, the purple enamel and the silver buddha look great together and I could see designing a beautiful black and purple bracelet around those three beads.

Your bracelet, as it is now, tells the story of you and your tastes. It is perfect! But if the goal is to achieve a balanced, cohesive, and themed bracelet, then I would recommend a couple of repeat beads. If you look at Pandora's sample bracelets, they always have a couple of repeats. There isn't always a distinct pattern, but there is some bit of continuity.

I have gone both ways...heck, I have gone all the ways: eclectic, many colors, no color, pattern, calculated...If there is a way to organize beads on a bracelet, I have tried it. On one bracelet I even justified the purchase of the pineapple so that the happy bird would have a snack! The more time I spend looking at my bracelets and the more times I play with bracelet builders on-line, the more ideas I get! The best part about Pandora is that there are no rules!
 
Yep, I think I'm loving my new order too. The ball bead are also really nicely balanced now. I appreciate your help and tips! I have a serious problem with being anal about such things. Have you noticed that it looks so different actually on your wrist when compared to off? You notice different elements when its on. I can't wait to post pics of my new creations. Just a few more days and I should have all my beads! Yeehaaw!
