Received a Pandora Bracelet for Xmas .......Now a Question. ...

maryb83 — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 02:47:24 GMT

Ok, I know I'm late to the pandora party But I received one for Christmas with some charms in memory of my beloved dog whom I had to put to sleep (far too early ) right before Christmas this year. My question is this....do you ladies that own a Pandora Bracelet take it off to sleep and shower or do you leave it on all the time? I currently have only 4 charms on mine so its not all that heavy . Stupid question i know just looking for some thoughts and opinions. Thank you all you lovely ladies Mary

I don't own one but both my sisters do and they take it off, but they don't wear it every day either.

I have two and only wear them occasionally when I go somewhere, and they come off when I get home,

i dont own one but both of my daughters own several. one daughter always takes her off in the evening. the other daughter keeps hers on in the shower, during the day, while she is sleeping and only takes it off to switch out bracelets.

Thank you, I'm more in the camp of "take it off at night" I normally dont wear bracelets as they tend to bother me, however this one has significent meaning and I'd like to get in the habit of daily wear with it

I don't have the bracelet. But, I have the necklace and I have a bunch of charms that I interchange, and have some earrings to match. When I'm not wearing them, I keep them in an anti-tarnish box as they tarnish horribly.

A friend of mine has a bracelet and she sits in front of the TV with a silver polishing cloth, cleaning her Pandora.

I take mine off, but I don't wear it every day. Do you have a guitar pick? It makes it much easier to take the bracelet off if you use one.

I have not had a problem using my thumbnail to open the clasp but thats a good suggestion. Thanks so much

i had one that i wore every day since my children gave it to me last xmas. it was getting a little crowded (i like more 'movement') and so i asked for another one so i can split up the charms and not have it be so crowded. so now i have two ... and to answer your question: i wear them daily and i take them off every evening.

oh, and i never polish them. every once in a while i swing by the pandora store for a cleaning ... but otherwise no. i don't polish them. they look fine imo.

and i dont have a guitar pick, but what i use is part of an old credit card that i had to slice up. it works perfectly!

my daughters just get theirs cleaned at the pandora stores......they do it for free and it is so easy......just drop off and then stop back to pick them up in around half an hour or so.

they have the pandora charm opener to open theirs.

I own two. I hated having to open and close two every time.I just connected both and wrap the bracelet double and the close only one clasp.It looks cool and is way easier. I never take them apart . ...it's just one long charm bracelet.

Congrats on your new bracelet. I take mine off to sleep. I never wear it to shower since silver doesn't act the same as gold. I do wear gold jewelry to shower since it doesn't tarnish and stays the same. I say this because I decided to wear some Pandora rings 24/7. Unfortunately they tarnished badly. I shouldn't have showered with them. I can wear silver rings during the day and wash my hands without any issues. Just can't do the forever like I can with gold.

Hi, I have one that is full of charms after two years. I don't wear it every day. At some point I may buy another bracelet and split up the charms.

Thank you it has such meaning as the charms on it now are dog related and I'm memory of my beloved boomer. I have lost a dog prior to him but for some reason this dog passing has just shattered me.....hence the bracelet in his honor. I only wear sterling silver as gold looks terrible with my skin tone....I am familiar with the tarnishing that occurs no matter how carefully you treat it.

I totally understand the feeling you have to the dog charms. I have three bracelets each one has a dog charm. Very meaningful to me too. Enjoy your bracelet with your lovely charms.

I own a ton of Pandora. It can become rather addicting! I am always wearing a bracelet or two. I do not take them off. Yes, it is recommended to take them off to shower and sleep, but, I have decided to wear and enjoy them since they're not outrageously expensive. I get them cleaned at the store yearly. I do strongly recommend that you do not use any silver jewelry cleaner on them. I did once and it damaged the finish. Enjoy your new bracelet. It's fun to look down at your wrist during the day and cherish a fond memory.

I had a "heart" dog, too. Your bracelet sounds very special.

How do they clean the bracelets in the Pandora store?

I have one Pandora (regular) bracelet loaded up with charms which I wear all fall and winter and 3 Pandora bangle bracelets (each bracelet has 1 sea creature charm) which I wear all spring and summer at our shore house. I never take them off.

For Christmas, my son gave me the earring wires and barrels. I LOVE Pandora.
