This will be my last post for 2015 so I decided to make it about my first encounter (and my first love!) with European style modular charm bracelets: Pandora. This also happens to be a slightly larger haul than my last post about my Trollbeads charms and so I decided against filming it since it was only three items. With these gifts I am now only one charm away from completing this bracelet (I think).
For Christmas I received the Night Sky, Follow the Stars, and the Laurel Leaves ring:
The charms have been on my wish list since they came out and I’m SO happy to finally own them. I especially like these charms a lot as in my opinion, they don’t seem like the traditional girly, cutesy Pandora charms. They are a dark blue and the star theme can be edgy or spiritual depending on how you look at them. It’s another facet I wish Pandora would explore more.
As I’ve mentioned I love stars, these will of course go on my star bracelet which I had to change from two tone and black to two tone, black and blue. I love adding beads to unfinished bracelet projects, and this bracelet is pretty much completed, just missing the Wishing Star for it to be done. I was thinking of maybe adding the Starshine spacers, but I may not since they will go on the ends, and since they are not threaded I might lose them. Unfortunately I don’t have room for a safety chain so for the most part adding the Wishing Star might be it. I’m also rethinking the placement of the fascinating aventurescent, not sure I like where they are right now. Here is the bracelet with my new charms added:
I’m also totally in love with the Laurel Leaves ring, I already own the Laurel Wreath and thought wearing them both at the same time was a good look. It might seem redundant, but I like how the leaves look like they are flowing across my fingers. I can also wear the Laurel Leaves as a thumb ring so there are options for me which I love having.
That’s it for this part of my Christmas gift haul, I hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as I am! I’m pretty sure the next upcoming posts will be video heavy so stay tuned for that. I also would like to thank all of you readers who have commented both here and on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, this was my first year blogging about my favorite pastime and I appreciate everyone’s comments and support. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope that next year will be filled with blessings and happiness! See you next year! 😘
Happy new year! Looking forward to your blog posts 🙂
Happy New Years!!!! Thanks, I’m looking forward to posting! Have a safe New Year’s Eve!
Love your star bracelet 🙂 My Pandora bracelet has languished over the last three years. I didn’t like many of the beads that Pandora was coming out with, so I switched my focus more to Trollbeads and other brands. But, maybe I need to take another look to see if there’s anything interesting that I missed! Mine is mostly a family/two-tone bracelet but I could see some stars fitting in.
And the two leaves rings look great together 🙂
I can understand that, I feel that lately Pandora hasn’t been terribly creative with some of their designs. It took a few years for me to complete this bracelet, if it weren’t for their fall collection from a couple of years ago this bracelet would still be incomplete. I hope you find some nice beads!
