Pandora Bracelet Thread

[Pinky166]

What a sweetie...

How are you? Any new additions to your bracelet yet or are you holding out for next Monday?

 

[Kirsteen]

I think it was more to ease the guilt of going away with the lads for a week whilst I was sat at home.

sounds like my DH

I am so excited about giving my friend her Circle of Friends bead tomorrow!! We're going to go into town too and have a peek at the Pandora beads as she is looking for some clips I am going to have to tie my hands behind my back as I've promised I'm not getting another bead until I lose 7lbs! I've lost 2.5 lbs so far but DH is on route from the pizza shop I will have to do lots of to make up for it

You have to 'screw' them on... If that makes sense?

Bob xoxoxox

Doh!! That makes perfect sense now I look at it properly ,thankyou!! I can confirm they do fit! Not sure though if I got the right size bracelet. How loose should it be at the beginning with no charms on? I measured and added 3 cm as it said on the website but I wonder if it will be too tight - or at least not loose - when it's filled with charms.

Hi Everyone. I love all of your bracelets.

Infact, I love them so much that I'm thinking of treating myself to one on my Disneymoon in a few weeks. Does anyone know of anywhere in Florida that you can get Pandora or Chamilia bracelets and charms? Also do you know if the charms are cheaper there than they are in the UK?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'll post my pics when i get back.

Hi, here is my updated bracelet 2 - hedgehog charm from Mam and Dad for birthday and chosen after seeing hedgehog on golf course. Little pink pearl one from my sister in law for my birthday.

This is version 1.1 of my bracelet 1, with more green added. The green glass charm was off my sister in law for my birthday.

 

[dolphingirl47]

I just thought I'd share what hubby gave me when he got back from Turkey.

Here is my updated pic, think I may just about be done on this bracelet now, maybe have room for one of two spacers but thats about it. Perfect timing as it's my birthday on Tuesday and i'm hoping for bracelet number 2.

I love the charms and the bracelet is gorgeous. Lets hope that you get a new bracelet for your birthday. What colour scheme are you planning for this?

Both bracelets are wonderful. I have the hedgehog on my first bracelet and love it.

I have posted my sister's bracelet to her on Friday. Now I can't wait for her her to receive it and to see what she thinks about it.

Your sister will love it and her bank balance will take a battering.

Thanks hun. I already have some orange charms for my next bracelet, not sure what else I want to get yet - I love so many of them but can't have them all.

When will your sister receive her bracelet?

 

[wicket2005]

Thanks Claire. My bro has just sent me a birthday voucher for Amazon and I thought I would do another search to see if they sold Pandora and yay they do; or rather a dealer does through them. It looks a legit company based in Scotland and has its own site so looks genuine. So I will be choosing another charm through them me thinks.

 

[jjk]

all your bracelets are looking lovely.

Mine has broken the safety chain snapped and it fell onto concrete and the clasp has broken so The Jewller I bought it from has sent it back to Pandora for repair its going to take six weeks

 

[wicket2005]

Aww, that's a shame.

 

[CustardTart]

All the bracelets are looking gorgeous, ladies!!!

When I get more than ten consecutive minutes without a problem rearing it's ugly unwanted head, I'll update the pic list!!!

Would you please excuse me whilst I have an off-topic vent - youngest DS and I are off to Spain (Cancelada, near Marbella) on July 7th and DH is joining us for the final two weeks on July 18th. DS and I are booked to fly into Malaga and at the end of our hols, as we were intending spend a few days in Seville and take in the Springsteen concert, we decided to fly back from there with Clickair. Brilliant plan! Or so I thought...

A month or so ago, when monitoring the pricing/availability of Springsteen tickets, I discovered the Seville and Benalmadena dates had been switched which wasn't going to work for us at all! "Oh well," I thought, "We'll still head up to Seville but won't bother with the concert..."

Anyway, today I decided to get all the paperwork printed. Logged into the Seville/Gatwick booking to discover it leaves a day earlier and flies into Heathrow - which is no good to me at all!!! If I'd known this from the start, I would've booked return BA flights at substantially less than they are now!!! (I really want a foot stamping smilie to insert here...) So I've been chasing my tail all day, trying to resolve this multitude of issues - what a beepin' waste of a day...

RANT OVER!!! Back to the bracelets...

Looking forward to seeing your new bracelet, Claire!!!

I'm hoping mine will be ready for the 'big reveal' next week. I have managed to get hold of the final two Kanji symbols so have the complete set now plus I'm looking forward to seeing what Richard has bought...

DH has bought a charm via Amazon and it was perfect...

Yikes!!! That's bad news!!! Fingers crossed it gets fixed asap...

 

[Kirsteen]

Did your friend like her charm??? I bet she loved it.

She couldn't make it down in the end! I am so looking forward to meeting up with her and birthday girl number two now - the excitement mounts!

Karen - I hate days like that - hope you've got it all sorted out now

DH bought me a Pandora Bracelet this weekend and two charms, a treasure chest and an initial P. He also ordered me a birth stone bead. Just had a phone call and it is in the shop now,cant wait to get it. I have been looking at the beads in the charm book and on the internet and have marked crosses next to the charms I would like.

Sounds great - I love that treasure chest charm... Can't wait to see pics...

...I have been looking at the beads in the charm book and on the internet and have marked crosses next to the charms I would like....

Now that's a good idea! I have a wishlist on the Pandora website as well as a list of things I am "watching" on eBay to make sure DH gets the message - not 100% sure he does tho'...

Your sister will love it and her bank balance will take a battering.

Or that of her big sister. I am still busily plotting away what charms she might like.

When will your sister receive her bracelet?

I am not sure. Packages to Germany take 4 to 7 days. As I sent it on Friday, she should have it by the end of the week the latest. I have the day off and she emails me at work as I never seem to get the emails that she sends me to my own address. So there might be an email waiting for me when I get to work tomorrow.

all your bracelets are looking lovely.

Mine has broken the safety chain snapped and it fell onto concrete and the clasp has broken so The Jewller I bought it from has sent it back to Pandora for repair its going to take six weeks

I sorry to hear that your bracelet broke. I hope that they can fix it. This must have been some kind of manufacturing fault. As your bracelet only had a couple of charms on it there is really no other explanation why it should have snapped the safety chain.

She couldn't make it down in the end! I am so looking forward to meeting up with her and birthday girl number two now - the excitement mounts!

Karen - I hate days like that - hope you've got it all sorted out now

What a shame that you did not manage to meet up with your friend.

Welcome to the club. I hope that you enjoy your bracelet as much as I enjoy mine.
