Ungrateful cow time :/ my mum bought me a Pandora charm bracelet 2 years back with one charm and my following birthday bought another charm.she hasnt bought any since. The thing is the charms dont really have anything to do with me!one is a pair of spoons for example.
I dont wear it because l/o tries to eat all jewellery and its gold which I dont wear either and umm I actually dont like charm bracelets!
Its just I would much rather some clothes vouchers as I don't get to spend on myself much.
Wibu to sell it?!

I would sell it. It's pointless having something that you can't wear.
I would feel the same way if was your mum who had given it to you.
A couple of years ago my son sold a gold bracelet that I had bought for him. He asked for my permission and I said yes, because the money he got was more useful to him.

I think you should keep it. Yes, she might buy more charms. Seems like a waste of money but it's not really the point. Just put it away and forget about it.

A real Pandora bracelet made of gold sells for £950 new! There aren't that many gold charms and they are between £180 and £500 each. If you are going to sell it, make sure it is genuine and if it try to get a decent price for it.

I'd keep it and pass it down the family.

Would it really be bad form and easy to actually clear it with your mum before you sell it?

There is so little use having something valuable that you don't wear and your mum must also notice that you don't wear it ... Get something you can use and enjoy.

Yeah it is real,she's v geneeous with gifts but never gets what I ask for in the first place. The only reason I haven't sold it already is pure guilt, we dont see each other much for alot of reasons (she can be a bit funny sometimes) and I doubt she would notice anyway.
