For a change - lovely dog photos ladies.

Hope you manage to keep Bailey still but I fear it will be impossible as they just have a coiled up spring inside them that keeps going off.

LOL!!!! You are so right Bev....Day 1 & she is driving me crazy! In fact they both are as her big brother keeps bouncing around trying to get her to play with him. I am going to be pulling my hair out by the end of the week.

Well, I went to the jewelry store with my birthday money and was so overwhelmed with the choices. After going through tons of charms, I ended up with a dangle one with a cute daisy-like flower with a "diamond" stone in the center. I am loving my bracelet. My friend left for Disney today and hopefully will locate a charm for me that I saw online. I fell in love with so many charms, I am making a wish list today. I am going to go back next week and get the safety chain charm for it. I can see this is going to be an expensive bracelet when all is said and done, and I would hate to lose it.

I bet it is going to be one long wish list. There are so many to choose from. I have the little daisy charm you mention, it is pretty.

Claire - I hope Bailey is feeling better today. It is funny how you know they are feeling unwell. Our Ben's head seems to go all round and droopy, then he just comes and sits by us wanting to be stroked and receive sympathy - or is this just the case with male dogs.

Wow!!! I didn't realise there were so many options out there!!!


Awww bless him!!! At least he tried...

No, stay here and educate us about Trollbeads...

Thank you for the kind invite and all the birthday wishes!

My understanding is, that the lady in the jewellers told DH that the Pandora beads would fit a Trollbead bracelet but not the other way around? As he knew that I particularly like the Murano glass beads, he said there were more to choose from in "my kind of colourways" with the Trollbeads so he opted for that. Thats not to say it wasn't all sales pitch or they just happened to have more Trollbeads on display, but thats his story anyway.

The bracelet certainly has a more oxidised look as does the clasp (which you have to buy separately and cost more than the bracelet) but I guess when the bracelet is filled, you will only see the clasp and not the actual chain part IYKWIM. I do really like the clasp he chose, a flower, with a dichroic glass center. It really reflects the colours that I like in the glass beads. Good job DH

So now the real fun begins!
First of all I need a couple of lock type beads to stop my glass ones moving to the bottom all the time...until I get more to fill the bracelet. I guess this doesn't happen with the Pandora bracelet as you seem to have 3 sections to keep beads in place?
I see that some of you buy from the auction site. Could anyone make me a recommendation ?

oooo trollbeads
i dont have any clips on mine simply because im a dozey blonde and
didnt even realise but my bracelet seems ok without them doesnt really bother me to be honest! im going to be naughty and nip out today to get the pink flowers glass murano charm then after that i MUUUUST buy a saftey chain ! to anybody who has one...do they feel weird on your arm or get annoying and do they clip into the little ridged bits at the end of the bracelet or do they go after that like where a charm would go ? i must be careful not to fill it up too much if thats the case! hope all of he doggies are fine and well this morning my two felt the need to wake me up at 6am because there was a squirrel in the garden haha little monsters

I just thought I'd give you all a laugh.

I 've just said to DH that my bracelet now needs some silver charms and spacer beads to "enhance" the Murano ones and he has suggested he go in the cupboard and look for the old Monopoly set we kept....that would give me a dog....a boot... a battleship....a racing car...

MEN!!!

Hi Ladies,

My Mum and Fiance have been consipiring to get me a Pandora bracelet for my birthday.

I've been looking online at John Greed - is this the best online sotre for them before Jack orders?

Also, is a safety chain essential? How often do they unclip by themselves?

Are the spacer beads essential?

 

[beckypenguin]

your bracelets really full now pinky!
i went to the shop yesterday they didnt have the pink murano daisy charm in i was a bit worried anyways cause on the net it looks more of a peachy color than pink hmm, anyways heres my circle of love charm

I usually look at John Greed, mememeaccessories and Ernest Jones and work out which is cheapest. If buying from Ernest Jones I get them to deliver free to my local store, though this company takes the longest if charms delivered this way.

Spacers are not essential.

Safety chain may or may not be essential, depends on whether the clasp wears with time. Mine has not ever come undone but my hubbie bought the safety chain when he bought the bracelet. I like the reassurance that should it become undone I would still have it on my hand as the bracelet becomes increasingly more and more expensive as you add your charms on to it I would hate to lose it.

If you order through Quidco for Ernest Jones you will eventually get money back on the charm, think they give about 14% back.

Looking good Claire, hope Bailey is okay.

Yay!!! A new member!

The silver bracelet seems to be £55 everywhere. Most silver charms are £20 but others with gems/gold etc are more. I always try to avoid paying postage fee's on all of them as some websites do free postage. Also if you use Quidco then Ernest Jones give 14% (I think, can't remember the % off top of my head).

Mine has never come unclipped (yet!) however I feel safer with the security chain as when you add up how much it would cost to replace it you will be surprised....several hundred ££££'s!
