Pandora Bracelet - Which bead to reflect your children?

**briggsy's girl** · February 27th, 2011, 04:33 PM

They do seem to be fairly limited in what you can get, but it's not the sort of thing where you will need to fill it up - I already have 11 charms on my necklace and it does feel pretty heavy already. I don't think I will get too many more.

i can't imagine how heavy a full necklace would be! I have 14 beads on my bracelet and that is getting heavy enough

I think DH might start objecting too if I got too many more LOL.

Mmm... reminds me... the charm you gave me, BG, is a very different silver colour... I'm contemplating getting another one so I can take advantage of the lovelinks charms.

Was thinking earlier that an Easter egg could be more appropriate than a rose for our wedding... we got married on Easter Saturday and tend to see that as our anniversary more than the actual date. But it's still just not DH. Can't find the rings on the pillow one.

I have all of our first initials in beads. The silver ones with the gold letters. Then just recently i got a ladybird, turtle & giraffe to also represent my children. The animals themselves don't represent anything relating to my children but i chose them individualy to represent my children. I got my bracelet for my 30th birthday and a few of my girlfriends and family members chose beads that represent our friendships also. It's definately a very symbolic bracelet for me. It's totally full now can not fit another bead on it.

i can corrupt/encourage you to buy lovelinks ones - there are a few that are really nice.

oh, and yes, it's a different-ish silver, but if you get another similar one, it will work (i was too broked to buy you two!)

BW, the wedding ring one isn't in the catalogue - I had to google for it and found it online.

**Ozziehoffy** · February 27th, 2011, 09:04 PM

When I fill this one I'm going to get one of the leather ones cos they're sexy

I have on mine... hearts which Andy bought when he bought the bracelet for me for our Anniversary last year. A friends one with a butterfly which dangles that comes as a 2 piece one and gave one to my friend and one for me, a sleigh from the boys for Christmas last year, my birthstone and then 2 others I just liked lol... one is instead of an eternity ring cos I don't have enough room on my finger!

I also have 2 fixed beads and I recommend you get them to separate your beads if you don't already Jayne cos of the weight they can stretch the one area if they keep in the same spot if you know what I mean? I'm going to get the safety chain too. I actually had my bracelet break at the end of last year!! They sent it off and Pandora replaced it

lol I didn't even answer your question bahahaha... I actually don't have one to reflect the boys... I have a necklace Andy bought me for my birthday just after Oskar was born which is 2 hearts so I've always had that for them. Elijah... hmmm do they sell nuggets... that is his nickname after all!! lol

DH bought me mine when I was pregnant with DS. He got a few charms for him and for us and a baby carriage for DS. When I was pregnant with DD, he bought me a baby bootie charm.

**RainbowBrite** · February 27th, 2011, 10:23 PM

I think this would be beautiful gift for my DD's 16th birthday in 3 weeks.
She can slowly build on it.
Thank you for the ideas

Rainbow - I think it's a lovely gift idea. I buy my girls a little pendant/charm (not Pandora) every year for their birthday & I put it away. They dont' even know they exist. I try & buy a charm reflective of the year that has been. When they turn 16 I am going to get them a beautiful bracelet & have all the charms soldered on. I reckon a Pandora for a 16th birthday is a really wonderful idea. Silver charms can be relatively cheap & they are great gifts for her friends to give, etc...

OZZIEHOFFY _ Your kids have the most beautiful lips - you should get a 'kissing lips' style one to reflect your handsome little guys!

I think I have decided on a princess crown with the pink stone for Claudia. My sister reckons the thong with the CZ in it to resemble thongs at the beach as Jess is mad on going to the beach. I can't decide between that or the strawberry for Jess.

Thanks guys, I love to hear what charms you all have. Once I have my babies reflected then I'm getting busy on filling it up with 'pretty' beads.

Oh & yes, I definitely need some spacers Cass! Thanks for reminding me!

my husband bought me a pandora bracelet for my 30th and to represent our family, he bought 'the tree of life' charm, it is one of the expensive ones though, not sure how much you want to spend?

**butterfly_warrior** · February 28th, 2011, 07:43 PM

BG, I meant a whole new bracelet! I'm thinking I'll go with one of the leather lovelinks ones... Just not loving the way the pandora chain pinches and pulls at my hair. Will be ok once it has a few more charms.

My mothers group (4 others) bought me the pram charm for my birthday to resemble them and DD. I love it!

OOoOoOh I love the lips idea... Oskar has divine lips, Elijah's aren't as divine, but still a lot like his brother.

Re: Jess... I think go with your initial gut and that was the strawberry.. it jumped out at you and screamed JESS!

Spacers... I got the one with flowers on it and one with like squiggly looking things on it lol. Only one of my beads is a "pretty" mean nothing one but I have others lined up ready to buy haha.

**Hollybolly** · February 28th, 2011, 10:02 PM

I've got the initials of 'L' and 'C' to represent my boys - the silver ones with the gold letters. I've got a universal bracelet too - and have a mix of pandora & a few other brands on there. DH bought me an engagement ring charm for our anniversary (not a Pandora but I don't know which brand?), and he bought me a solid heart for my birthday. I've got stacks of spacers... I'm not so keen on the animaly ones... so all of my other ones are more just beads that I like

I am going to get a 'D' for DH as well... when I get some spare cash
