No problem lady! ^_^
Glad I could be of help!
This is like a continuation from my last question cause I like ran out of letters lol xD So yeah, do you think it would be worthwhile for me just to keep my Carousel bracelet just the way it is and then start a Pandora bracelet rather than risk buying pandora charms for it that might not fit or get stuck?
FuckYeahPandoraBeads:
Okay - wow! Well, answering this question required me to do a bit of research. So to answer your question, first I need to know a little bit more about it - there are two companies to my knowledge called Carousel who make pandora style bracelets:
1: http://carouselbeads.com/
2: http://www.karineandco.com/charms-beads.html
Which of these two do you have? :) Both of the bracelets they make are completely compatible with any Pandora or Chamilia charms. One of the companies makes a more ethnic/trollbead style bracelet and the other makes one identical to that of pandora. But to answer your question the snake chain on Pandora bracelet is 4mm :) Pandora stores do not have a “Policy” that means they cannot put charms on unofficial bracelets, however they do have warranty that is voided if you have a pandora bracelet and you put unofficial charms on it and it ends up broken. So don’t be mislead! However, the charms WILL fit. :)
Sorry for the long reply, however I hope I’ve helped answer your query! :D
I go away for a week and you guys fill my inbox and double what I had left in there! Tee-hee! Thanks!! ^_^

This is a post for all you chocolate lovers out there!! ^_^ So some of you may be familiar with Rolos! I personally love them, they’re such a nice treat…and I’m not into chocolate at all. So the lovely people at Rolo thought they would make a charm that goes with their advertising campaign. You know the slogan “My Last Rolo”, they’ve made a Rolo for your charm bracelet! - How cute is that?! It comes in solid silver, yellow gold and rose gold! Ranging from £40 to £50. Those that are gold are plated silver, but providing you take good care of them, the gold will last a lifetime :)
Mmm….Rolos… <3
I’m back! :-) So this Cupcake charm has another story. Cupcakes & daisies are my FAVORITE things. First, my boyfriend asked me to prom by bringing me daisies and these:
Then, this past Wednesday, he came to my house with daisies & cupcakes. As we were about to go inside, he reached into his car & pulled out a little Pandora box. He said “do you want these cupcakes or this cupcake?” I obviously wanted both :-) Now I have my little cupcake charm to remind me of our “sweet and simple” relationship :-)
FuckYeahPandoraBeads:
I think that is probably one of the sweetest (pun definitely intended) submissions I’ve ever received! Awwww!!! Seriously, he sounds so lovely!! Cupcakes and a cupcake charm? Too cute for words! He’s a keeper! ^_^ And what a lovely addition to your bracelet! :) I love that all of your charms are completely different to one another! Thank you so much for your submission lady, it brightened my day! ^_^ Don’t forget to update me when you get your next one! <3
If you decide to buy a double wrap leather bracelet, you just buy your wrist length x2, plus enough to put two fingers underneath both strands for charms :)
You can have a safety chain if you like, but mostly they’re just aesthetic unless you have a completely full bracelet that needs a bit of support.

Today is a really important day in the British callender! :) It’s the 1st royal wedding anniversary of Prince William and Dutchess Kate! N’awww!!! So I thought I’d do a royal wedding themed post! :)
Chamilia did a replica of Kate’s engagement ring - so pretty huh? It’s absolutely stunning in real life and the stock photos do it little or no justice! Pandora then did a heart charm engraved with their initials (Kate/Catherine, choose your preference!) and then it has a little blue stone on the reverse, meant to represent her engagement ring. This is a fantastic idea and if you were getting married yourself, you could get the heart charm from pandora (either the plain one or the one with the stone on one side) and have it engraved yourself. Either with the date of your engagement/wedding or yours and your partners initials! :D So cute huh? Most reputable jewellers will offer this service for you :)
Hope you guys have had a good day! :)

Here’s a few examples from the Amore & Baci Hello Kitty collection, aren’t they wonderful? :) They range from £20 to £80.
Don’t forget to pop me a submission if you are lucky enough to pick up one! ^_^
FuckYeahPandoraBeads:
Loads of people have been asking me where I got my HelloKitty bead! Well, it comes from a company called Amore and Baci. The nice thing about these charms is that they aren’t threaded like Pandora charms, so they’re very free moving and they fit on all brands of bracelets :)
There’s a range of 207 charms in the collection, and I will do another post showing you a few examples from the collection. :)
You can find the entire collection here at this website - http://www.birchjewellers.co.uk/amore-baci/hello-kitty.html

I have recently finished my second bracelet which has a family theme. I was first going with the Captivating murano’s (in black, purple and teal) but the other night I ended up buying the teal murano’s, which I thought would be a great look for the Spring/Summer! Here are the meanings of my charms:
Chimp Family: Reminds me of me and my Mom since we call each other monkey for some odd reason.
Teddy bear: My favorite stuffed animal when I was a kid was a huge bear that I named Barkley. I dragged him everywhere I went.
Elephant: My grandfather use to call me Peanut when I was a kid.
Cow: Cows are my favorite animal.
White flower enamel: My Mom and Aunt have this charm on their bracelets. My Mom has the pink and my Aunt has the blue.
Strawberry: When I was a kid, I use to go strawberry picking with my family.
Faith, Hope & Charity: I always liked this charm. That and I recently started seeing someone in the Navy and thought it was rather fitting.
Seeing Stars: I love stars. It reminds me of living in NH and having such a beautiful night sky.
Stella Star pendant: same as above.
Feather: for the people who have passed away in my life.
Car: This charm is to symbolize my grandfather. He LOVED cars and anything to do with them!
Perfect Posies: This is to symbolize my grandmother. She loved flowers and gardening.
Majestic Butterfly: This is to symbolize my Mom. She loves butterflies. Most of the charms on her Pandora are mostly butterflies.
Ghost: Halloween is pretty much my favorite holiday so I had to have Sir Ghost on my bracelet!
The other bracelet pictured has been posted before, but I have since changed it. I added the wood beads and yellow flower murano’s to pop out the gold on the two tone charms. I recently added the frog (my frog prince), eyelet lace (since I’m a graphic designer for a lingerie company), as well as the Trinity spacers in champagne. Hope you like my bracelets! <3

Now THAT is a collection! Wow-wee!! They are the kind of thing you see in the window at the store. Those green oval lights are absolutely stunning! I’d never considered them before but they look amazing on your bracelet, and so does that blue and green swirl murano! Absolutely gorgeous!! :D I also love those wooden beads! You’ve such a beautiful collection!! Thank you again for your submission, I always adore posts like this! :D
