Pandora offer two kinds of safety chain: ones that screw on, and ones that clip on. However, many people opt for screw-on safety chains. Consequently, there are advantages to both kinds of safety chains. Different regions offer a different selection of safety chain lengths. Check with your local retailers for available safety chain lengths. Spacers are much smaller than traditional charms. Spacers are also useful for pulling together the design of your bracelet — adding a couple of spacers for example, either side of a murano can lend extra symmetry and prettiness to a design.
Spacers can be threaded or unthreaded — the very small, older spacers tend to be unthreaded. Thanks dearie!! I just realised there are two types of safety chains!! So informative my dear!! Oh no! Glad this post was useful though — even it was a bit too late! It would make sense for the safety chain to be a clip on one end and a screw end or slide on the swivel end to just slide over the threads. It would cover the threads and still be secure by the clasp.
The other end being a clip would hide those screws and the charms would still be secure. How can I make them get past the threaded part? Do you have other charms? Will they thread on to the bracelet?
It wound up being faulty threads on the bracelet! Now just have to wait for my charm to come back! My safety chain twists when I put both sides on the bracelet, is that right?
I have put it on the way you describe above and it is also the same one as you have pictured above. Hi Jen, how full is your bracelet? When your bracelet is quite empty, the safety chain tends to twist no matter which way around you put it on.
I just purchased my first Pandora bracelet. I have the lobster clasp one. Would you recommend I eventually purchase a safety chain for it? Hi Robin! Have you got any ideas on a stuck charm? Hi Ffion, sorry for the delay in reply, I missed your comment! My charms stuck on my braclet. This was a wonderful and enlightening tutorial on Pandora bracelets, especially the minute but crucial details and caution about charms and the one about safety chains was an eyeopener.
Thanks so much Meiko! Glad that it was useful. I bought a new pandora bracelet and charms in Europe while traveling. Am I doing something wrong? I love the oxidised bracelets but much prefer the lobster claps — I have definitely seen mention of these, but people are saying they have been retired. Do you know when they were retired? Hi Liv, glad to hear it was useful! What size safety chain would you recommend? What size are your bracelets? Mine is an 18cm bracelet.. I want to get one but i dont know how many of each i should get.
Hi Loany, it depends on what size bracelet you have. Generally you have two clips for each bracelet one on each separating thread but the amount of clasps and spacers etc is kind of up to you as you fill it.
Can you make it into a store to have a play around with charms and combinations to see what you might like? A clip might be advisable to put on the end, just to stop any charms twisting off in the case of the bracelet accidentally coming open. It could be that? Do you have any pics of the bracelet and charm, that might be easiest? Sorry to hear that you are having problems! Do the regular spacers fit on the essence bracelets? I like the smaller charms and I was given the essence bracelet.
I really like the spacers. I want to add spacers if I can to my essence bracelet. If you just google some pictures of each, you should be able to work it out. What do you mean Holly? Would this be ok? Do I need clips or anything else at this point? Hi Sue!
Yes, that sounds lovely. You may want to add them in the future if your daughter finds the charms sliding around annoying — you can get them to stay in place by putting rubber inserts in them Pandora offer these. I think I would only keep maybe 3 or so charms at a time on mine.
Clips are available in a variety of styles and finishes. We recommend every Pandora bracelet that has a 'notch' have at least two clips, one for each. Spacers are smaller, thin charms that can be used to fill in the gaps between two different sized charms, but are completely optional. Spacers are not threaded and will slide freely along your bracelet. Spacers are available in a number of different styles and finishes.
Congratulations on completing your first Pandora bracelet! There are a number of new and exciting ways to display your beads.
There are a few big differences between the silver Pandora Bangle and the classic bracelet. The bangle is a stiff bracelet with no 'notches'; where the classic bracelet is a flexable bracelet with fixed 'notches' for the clips.
Although there are no 'notches' on the Bangle you can still use clips on the them to keep your charms in place. In order to do so you must first put a rubber stopper under the clips to keep them in place, otherwise the clips will just slide around like normal charms.
You can use the same clips theat you would use on a classic bracelet; the only difference is that you need the silicon stoppers under the clips to keep them from sliding back and forth like a normal charm.
Ask for the special silicon stoppers whenever you are planning to use your clips on a leather bracelet or bangle. There are also special clips with silicone core designed to automatically lock into place. What Makes Pandora Special? There a few things that separate Pandora from some of the other 'charm bracelets' you might have seen:. Pandora Jewelry is quite special and must be properly handled and cleaned.
You may clean your Pandora with a dry silver polishing cloth, or bring your bracelet into a Pandora store for a thorough cleaning in a specially designed tumblers. Silver polish will remove the oxidation treatment from some of the charms and chains.
Pandora is oxidized jewelry, and is meant to fade to an antique look as it is worn. Be very careful not to expose your Pandora to harsh chemicals or environments. Both provide the same protection but my preference is for the ones that you thread on because the other type cannot be clipped onto the actual threads of the bracelet; you have to clip them on to the main chain itself which takes up precious charm real estate!
Why do that when you can have the safety chain threaded onto the ends AND two extra charms on your bracelet? Pandora offers a variety of dangling charms; there are ones with gemstones, two-tone ones with silver threader and gold dangle, ones with pearls, ones with cameos, etc. They make a great tinkling sound and are just so pretty! Of course you can also not have any dangles if you like a stream-lined look. Murano charms are Italian made glass beads that come in a variety of colors and designs.
Pandora is constantly coming up with new ones and retiring old ones. I ended up having to get a bigger bracelet because all the Muranos I put on my first bracelet made it almost too tight to put on.
I much much much prefer the barrel clasp because you can actually put it on by yourself and with one hand! This is almost impossible to do with a lobster clasp bracelet. The barrel clasp bracelets come in sterling silver, oxidized silver dark grey color , two-tone with gold barrel clasp and sterling silver bracelet, and a 14K gold bracelet.
Gently open the clasp. If your bracelet has a barrel clasp, insert your fingernail in the groove and gently twist to pop it open, or use the handy PANDORA clasp opener. Then gently screw on your charm over the threading. Once it is over the thread, it will loosely slide into the non-threaded area. To move your charm farther along your bracelet, repeat Step 2 at each threaded area.
