Pandora Appreciation Thread - no snippy snidey comments please

32 replies

stylenotfashion · 22/03/2011 16:07

There's another thread (Fab or Chav) for debating the ups and downs of Pandora.

This thread is for Pandora lovers to chat about charms/clips/chains etc.

I have only just started my bracelet and have a giraffe (to remember Kenyan engagement), a Princess & the Pea (fave fairytale) and a ring of hearts.

What do you have/covet...let's ooh & aah together :)

I don't think you can dictate what type of response you get to a thread.
MN is an online forum, not a brainwashing cult.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 22/03/2011 16:12

DarkSkies - indeed Grin

stylenotfashion · 22/03/2011 16:15

Christ don't get all humpy.

Brainwashing cult - bit far methinks.

It's a genuine request - if you want to be bitchy go to the other thread, I wanted a place where people could talk about charms without being blasted.

Guess that worked well Hmm

Well I like them, and it means I'm getting birthday and Christmas presents I like at last. :)
My favourites are my Converse one, and a ladybird. I haven't seen a princess & the pea one, but I know there's a lot of new ones I haven't looked at for a while.

TattyDevine · 22/03/2011 17:45

I dont think its unreasonable for the OP to politely request her thread be for appreciation. Of course people can come and pour scorn anyway, but considering there is another thread for haters of it, it would be pretty churlish and petty, in my opinion.

MillsAndDoom · 22/03/2011 18:08

I like Pandora too

I obviously live in a backwater where Pandora isn't common as I only know of one another person with one and mine is often admired.

My faves are the murano beads - my aim is to have enough to co-ordinate with my clothes

stylenotfashion · 22/03/2011 18:12

Thank you Tatty that was my feeling too. I love my Pandora and I want to goss about them and the other thread is so Angry.

Mills I'm the same - I don't know anyone who has one and they're so pretty. How big are the Murano's? Are the pics online accurate or should I buy from a store do you think?

OP posts:
DarkSkies · 22/03/2011 18:12

No-one is pouring scorn or being bitchy- I was just pointing out that one cannot dictate the kind of responses you will accept.

Millsanddoom- I. Agree - Murano glass is lovely.

stylenotfashion · 22/03/2011 18:13

bilblio I LOVE the ladybird! Haven't seen the Converse one.
I'm going to find a link for the Princess & the Pea as so cute :)

LaurieFairyCake · 22/03/2011 18:13

My bracelet is 'full' however it doesn't look that nice - I think it might need spacers to make it look better - its the silver one.

I bought the tan leather double one last summer and I preferred that as when I filled it up you could still see the leather. But it's more summery than the silver one. Soon time to go back and transfer the charms over.

I like my cupcake one best Smile

stylenotfashion · 22/03/2011 18:17

princess and the pea It's so cute - it's a teeny bed with mattresses and a gold crown & gold pea. Sighs :)

laurie how many charms can you get on a full bracelet?

OP posts:
TattyDevine · 22/03/2011 18:24

No Darkskies I agree nobody has, but if she hadn't stipulated that she hoped her thread would be for likers not haters, I guarantee some old scrooge would come and piss on her cornflakes with a comment. Happens every time!

The leather one sounds nice.

scurryfunge · 22/03/2011 18:31

got this last week

...for my birthday from DH. I have never had jewellery like this before and love it.

stylenotfashion · 22/03/2011 18:40

See scurry that's what gets me about Pandora too - it makes me smile everytime I look at it. I feel all fuzzy when I think about the reasons behind the choices.

Your DH is amazing.

Ohhhh love the Princess and the pea charm.

Grin Great thread!

scurryfunge · 22/03/2011 18:50

I have bought a leather one in the past for my friend and a glass bead for MIL's bracelet. There is always such a great reaction to them. (and I like browsing at the different beads).

Converse Bead
Their description makes me laugh "Give to the Pandora woman in your life who loves to work out." :o Hardly! But I do like my converse.

This is a dangerous thread, I've started browsing again. It's a good job I can't afford to buy any for myself... I'll just drop hints to family instead :o

phooey · 22/03/2011 20:12

My name's phooey and I'm a Pandora lover Grin

My single champagne leather has 5 beads, my fave is the queen bee. I think it'll look lovely in the summer.

Gertiegoolash · 22/03/2011 20:26

another Pandora lover here! My bracelet is nearly full, my fave beads are my boy and girl to represent my DC and my silver heart cos they chose it for me as my Crimbo pressie :)

stylenotfashion · 23/03/2011 07:55

phooey I was hoping you'd comment, this was inspired by your previous thread which got flamed.

Grin Grin yay for personal style and choice! Grin Grin

Tell me - what others do you have (I cover the Queen Bee big stylee)....

oohh I love this thread :)

I love the Murano charms. mine is 3/4 full at the moment with a mix of silver and pink. Each charm means something to me which I love!

stylenotfashion · 23/03/2011 13:49

highfives Sirzy

Are the Murano's bigger than a normal charm?

I'm also wondering about getting a safety chain...I'm a bit clumsy and can see me catching the bracelet on some'at and them getting lost...eek!

stylenotfashion Smile

I didn't mins the previous thread, ask for an opinion on MN and you get it, I was interested in people's perceptions of it (although they won't change mine!)

I have a single champagne leather, witha swirly bead with red cz's, queen bee, aquamarine dangle, musical notes dangle, white mother of pearl hearts, a hearts spacer and the daisy safety chain.

It looks so lovely with this amount on, but there are so many beads I want that I'll have to get a silver one at some point so I can feed my addiction! You're only meant to have 6-8 beads on a leather. I do love the look of the leather though so might get a double grey leather next.

DH is sooo unimpressed with my addiction - we earn quite a lot between us but have debts to pay off whilst ttc so we can afford for me to SAH, and at this rate I'll be WOH to pay for my Pandora addiction! I haven't got that much I know, but I only started at Xmas Blush
