Oh Sandie, I wish I hadn't just googled that

 

I have been thinking about getting my god-daughter a charm bracelet and building it up over the years. This is FAR superior. However, I have already spent a small fortune on her for Christmas, and she's not even 3 yet Maybe save it for her birthday

 

Can't advise on where is best, as I hadn't heard of them until 5 minutes ago

[chick wiggle]

Sorry Space Chick They are lovely tho arnt they? Just dont know the best place to get one from.

nice idea for your goddaughter too.

We've got a newly opened Pandora Shop in Sheffield. Fab.

[chick wiggle]

Oh Egluntyne, im jealous!

Address please?

I feel a shopping trip to sheffield coming on

[Egluntyne]

It is in Orchard Square....near the Town Hall.

[chick wiggle]

Thank you Egluntyne...... guess where we're going Saturday

[Egluntyne]

Erm......

Both my mum and I have Pandora bracelets (well, my mum now has a necklace as well as she has too many charms to fit on her bracelet ) I think it's lovely, really nice quality, and I only have "genuine" Pandora beads on mine. My mum did buy some cheaper ones from eBay but you really can tell the difference. I think the prices tend to be standard in all stockists, you can occasionally get a sale item but normally it's the same price everywhere. My mum bought a lot of genuine charms from eBay from a seller in the Netherlands, which were just pver half our price, which she's been really pleased with - and the seller has really good feedback. I'll see if I can find the details if you want them!

 

It's a lovely present idea, the only problem I've had is that I just want to keep buying charms to fill it up!! But I'm trying to take it steady, asking for charms for Christmas/Birthdays, and it's nice to be able to look at each charm and remember it's relevance.

 

I'm hoping for the chicken charm for Christmas......

I was toying with either a pandora or a troll bracelet some time ago and went for the troll bracelet I love mine, it's filling up nicely I have to admit.

[chick wiggle]

Thanks everyone. Rachick I would love that address if you can find it, thanks.

Cookie, I'm jealous I want mine now *stamps foot*.

I got one as my wedding present from OH. He had remembered I really liked them and got one from a high street, but proper, jewellers. There is a Pandora catalogue which has set prices for everything. I'd say if you can get a copy of that, and then compare with online sellers, you'll be able to see what's duff and not real. Have a look at their website too.

 

I actually prefer trollbeads, so hope some of them will fit! He thought they were the same thing, but it was so sweet anyways.

I have a pandora bracelet and I order from here

They are offering 25 per cent off when you spend over £100 at the moment. You have to enter the code STORYWHEELS.

 

Hubby has just bought me a troll bracelet for Christmas with chicken beads.

 

I'm planning to have glass bead, chicken bead, glass bead, chicken bead, etc.

 

[Lesley]

I went for a Trollbead sized bracelet as both Pandora and Trollbeads fit - it you have a Pandora then you need the Pandora beads.

 

I bought most of mine from Orkney Bracelets (Ebay shop)

 

There is a thread from last year called Charm Bracelets I think......

[chick wiggle]

Thats a great help thanks lesley and janty. Only thing now is choosing which beads

Oh decisions decisions

I've got an old style silver charm bracelet made out of hubby's Grandad's old watch chain. MIL gave it to me and I had it altered. It's nearly full now....people bought me lots of charms for my 40th to do with me....a chicken, a liver bird, a saxophone, a heart, etc.

 

I don't care if they are fashionable or not....I love it.

 

[Seagazer]

Hubby has given me a Swag brochure to look through and told me to circle anything I like the look of and I might get it for Christmas - I'm so excited

 

I think I will probably go for a Pandora bracelet. I really love the idea of family being able to get me charms or beads for birthdays etc.

I had one when small. Lots of the charms had interactivity - an openable tiny new testament, wheels which span on a pram. They do have a proper amount of charm for a charm bracelet!

The Pandora shop at Bluewater was HEAVING yesterday - at 11am it was by far the busiest shop I passed.

[Cooks]

theres a great Troll Bead shop in Cambridge if anyone has troll beads. They have a 10% off day on the 6th of December if you have been sent one of their invitations

*waves invitation in the air*

[chick wiggle]

Bluewater? Cambridge? Grrrrr, i cant get there **sulks**

But, thanks to Egluntyne, I now know theres a shop in Sheffield. Couldnt go this weekend as just had to go to see 'New Moon' But definately next weekend as Oh needs a huge great big shove in the right direction re chrissy presssies

[Cooks]

aww Chick if you ever do get to Cambridge give me a shout and I will come say helloooooo.

 

Good luck with your bracelet, it's great fun I got a few beads on ebay too

[chick wiggle]

Cookie I have been to Cambridge a couple of times with work, but unfortunately not very often If i ever get sent there again i will shout LOUD and CLEAR and we can meet for lunch Thats if you can get to whatever ind. est. I would be on

[Guest]

Just tell OH its the shop thats PACKED with blokes buying Christmas pressies.

 

Just a note for anyone who knows somone travelling - BA have pandora bracelets on both long haul and short haul flights £95 and come with some charms. I was going to ask Mum to get me one on her flight home from NYC but I prefer the one on short hauls - it has charms I like better so I'm going to drop very heavy hints between now and our flight on 20th December. I love my fake bracelet but I'd love a real one even more!
