Ahh claire it looks lovely

Thanks ladies.

Lovely update Claire. My hubbie's fav animal is the rhino.

I like them too, I fed one a few years back.

I got this one as Lee calls Bailey a Rhino - she most definately charges around like one! I am still waiting for my charm to arrive to represent my other dog....hopefully it will come tomorrow.

My favourite animals (other than my doggies) are elephants but I don't like the elephant charm.

Looking forward to seeing your new charm when it comes.

Well, I finally succumbed today and bought one for DD for her 16th Birthday next month - she tried it on so I know she likes it. No charms as yet though - the bracelet was expensive enough

 

[Pinky166]

Thanks Jackie....I hadn't seen one, I'll add it to my list.



Well done Joh. I am sure your dd will have great fun collecting charms.

What a lovely mum

There are loads of charms that fit pandora that is less expensive option to fill the bracelet as well as Disney ones

Glad your on Bob as I have a question.....with your glass charm if you look at it sideways on do you still see all colour glass or is it clear? Does that make sense?

It actually depends on the technique used in making the bead. If it's just one with coloured glass and say dots or lines on it you will see the colour from the side as well.

But there are techniques where the base colour is put down followed by a thick layer of clear, using the clear to distort the base (if you look a the ones Ive posted there the ones with triangles of stripes) if you look at those sideways you can see the coloured core with a clear layer over them.

There's also one on the bracelet with a pink coloured core, clear overlay and pink dots on top of that which you can see very cleary from the side.

Having said all that not all overlays are clear, some beads could have white cores with a coloured overlay or even coloured cores with coloured overlay giving extra depth of colour...

Too much information right But I do love beadmaking!!

I got some cheap disney ones on ebay whilst waiting to fill up with the better ones.

Thanks for the info JJPenguin.

Just to make you all aware - I won a pink glass dotty charm on ebay for £22 (the seller has a charm shop with 100% feedback) it arrived yesterday & is NOT real, hence my question yesterday Bob.

I just knew it didn't look right so I ordered the same charm from Me Me Me yesterday afternoon who I have bought a few of my charms from, it came this morning & the difference is clearly visable. The fake is smaller, the word Pandora is not as clear, the 925 ALE hallmarks are unreadable, the glass has a bubble in it....the list goes on. Anyway I have now got to figure out what to do, Ebay seems to direct me to contact the seller but surely they should know & stop them from selling fakes!

Anyway be careful ladies!!!

I hope you've left negative feedback! Good luck sorting it out I hope you get a refund - that's terrible as there are loads of people looking on ebay for Pandora bargains!
