    Do you wear your pandora bracelet all the time?

    Well i was impatient so we exchanged christmas presents early, and i got a pandora bracelet

    I was wondering if people wear them all the time or just for special occasions?

    I used to "save" my jewellry for special times, and it was hardly worn, most of it was stolen in a burglary a few years ago. Slowly i have been getting new peices again and a couple replaced via insurance. When replacing a ring and pendant the lady told me not to savour it that its meant to be worn and enjoyed - so i wear my pretty expensive peices every day, even in the shower, i want to do the same with the pandora bracelet but also want to minimise wear and tear... so probably take it off for cleaning etc, what do you think?

    I wear mine all the time and only take it of to put a new charm on . Ive had it since feb and love it, my only word of advice...dont buy cheap nasty charms from ebay....they are poor quality and mine went bronze on me ..

    Same as me! I got given mine for my birthday last year in November and intitially only wore it for special occasions for the first 3-4 months, then I thought that I was being silly and now wear it every day. About the only time I may not wear it is on the odd occasion where I am getting really dressed up and all of my other accessories are gold and I think it doesnt quite match.

    Enjoy your bracelet and wear it!

    Ok I'll take it off just for you

    I bought the oxidised one (the black one) but my acid skin has taken most of that away one and it looks almost like a silver one

    Gilette had an advertisement up on facebook that if you bought $100 worth of charms you got a free $30 charm. they also offer free postage too

    hmm me thinks me might have to get a chirstmas tree one now

    I got the christmas tree one too, for my birthday just gone and I love it! That and the angel is my other fave (I bought that one myself as a "pick me up" after I had an arguement with DH and now everytime I look at it it makes me smile!!!)

    I am taking the opportunity to tidy mine up and reorganise them before I take a photo.

    ETA Silly question but how do I post link to the photo gallery?

    Victoria got one for her birthday this year and only wears it for special occasions, but that may also be because she go a silver band (the gold Pandora bands are so expensive) and her plan is to eventually populate it with lots of gold. But even the gold charms are quite pricey, so she hasn't had any new ones yet.

    Thanks Maz! so tell me about the symbolism of yours? Have you seen any cloth nappy charms?

    Ang, you just bring the gallery up in another window and copy and paste the link to your particular photo in to your post.

    My bracelet is silver, the christmas tree is 2 tone. I am hoping to collect some gold and 2tone charms and gold spacers, once its full you can't really see the inner bracelet anyway.

    I also love the murano glass beads but don't know if i should go with a colour theme....

    I was hoping to go a colour theme too but it was hard when people started to buy me some and I didnt know they were buying them otherwise I would have told them and I dont like to return/exchange presents.

    I only wear mine sometimes as up untl last week I only had 3 charms. I have a tea cup cause I am very social and love having a cuppa with friends, an angel my children gave me for mother's day to remember my mum who died in 2002 and a house which DH pulled out of hiding while I was on the phone to the bank when they rang to say our home loan had been approved! Last week my class gave me a little boy and girl charms for christmas to remember them by- I cried!

    oh its nice seeing others!!!

    I wear mine all the time and the pandora ones come with a warranty so as it "stretches" if it gets too loose you send it back to them and they tighten it again....

    My boss (aka dad heehee) bought me one as my goodbye maternity leave present! but i dont like any of the charms he put on it heehee only the pram one....i want to eventually get mostly gold or two tone with gold and silver charms with the odd splash of green here and there....But i was cheeky and after i got it a made a 'mock' announcement to family that now they didn't have to think of pressies but to only get gold or two tone charms no colours please

    And if you put other brand charms on you pandora (ie lovelinks, chamilia, imitiation) it voids the warranty so just be careful of that.

    I bought me bracelt for $50 at showcase and the charms start at $11 for a spacer and $30 for a charm.

    My first charm was the pram...symbolising my birthday as it was a pressy from my mum and dad. I manages to find a sun smiling to symbolise Mateauz as I always said he was my sunshine when in utero, a close friend gave me the one with the chinesse symbol of friendship on it, I have a ladybird cause I love them, 2 little boys for my eldest 2 boys, a J for jed, a little girl, a ball with green butterflies that I bought when I was rock bottom with Mateauz' stuff, a clock cause I never have enough time, and a few others just to fill in the gaps

    Id love an owl cause I assosiate them with my mum...not cause she's wise just cause she use to wear these god aweful glasses that were HUGE and made her look like an owl.

    i found a sewing machine charm once...but it wasnt pandora and it went red one me I would DIE if I could get a cloth nappy one!!!! hmmm I think I might email them and see if I can get a special
