Space Chick Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachick Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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...... http://www.beadazzle.co.uk/?gclid=CIydl72BmZ4CFZQA4wodcERCmg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks everyone. Rachick I would love that address if you can find it, thanks. Cookie, I'm jealous I want mine now *stamps foot*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have a pandora bracelet and I order from here http://www.unforgettablemoments.co.uk/ 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Guest Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
