Charm Bracelet

[buzz5985]

I have both a Pandora bracelet and a Chamelia bracelet. The Chamelia is a Disney oriented charm bracelet. But what I like about the Chamelia better than the Pandora is the locks you buy. On pandora the locks clip on a certain section of the bracelet. The chamelia lock has a silicon band that allows you to place it anywhere on the bracelet. Here is a picture of my Chamelia. The round charm says "Dreams Do Come True". The other bead is Cindy's coach. The beads on the end are the locks that you can easily move to where you want. I have added on - Lucky and Nemo - but no picture yet.

I have done the same thing - my Charmilia bracelet is disney orientated - I bought the same Mickey swirl head dangly, the Tink dangly and the dreams really do come true bead, and I plan to fill it up slowly - trying to find out if they sell them at Disneyland Paris (I know they have them in my local shopping centre but it's not the same!!)

Pandora has just come out with their new collection which includes a Cinderella 'style' carriage - my OH got it for me and it's gorgeous!

Oooh, I like that swirly Mickey charm. I wonder if they have that one at the parks? That might be my next charm! TFS!

I found the selection of beads in WDW to be dismal at best. With a terrible presentation. If I hadn't been familiar with the beads, I don't think I would have started buying them.

Pandora bracelets and charms are not cheap. DD19 and DSD19 each received on last Christmas and have been blessed to receive some charms as gifts.

DD13 likes the Pandora type bracelet too! However, she's a bit careless so I had no intention of going the Pandora route! She got a Troll beads bracelet and a few charms for her birthday - way cheaper than the Pandora charms.

However, all charms are not created equal. The Pandora charms will last longer because, unlike the Troll beads and other imitators, they are made of sterling silver or gold. DD19 hardly takes her bracelet off, and will shower in it, and the charms have remained intact. DD13 doesn't dare do that with her bracelet.

Edited to add:

DD's charms are not actually Troll beads, though the bracelet is. Not sure what brand they are but they fit the Pandora's bracelet as well. some of the charms are showing signs of tarnish already.
