With Pandora and the other brands offering a plethora of , the combinations are endless! The great appeal of charm bracelets is that they allow you to design and create unique pieces of jewelry that express your style and celebrate your memories. However, sometimes it’s overwhelming to start and in this how to video, I offer my own take on bracelet design including some helpful tips.

As I mentioned in the Spring 2014 Collection Debuts post, today is also the launch of the Pandora Essence Collection new bracelet cords for spring. Again, these items arrived without much fanfare or announcement, indeed they haven’t even been uploaded at most store or the main Pandora websites. These fabric cords are being introduced in grey and black, as single and double wraps.

Unexpectedly, I was able to have a look at these when I went to check out the spring collection yesterday. They are more durable than I thought from the pictures and they felt like dense cords, maybe nylon, wrapped in fabric. I was expecting that these would be flimsy and similar to the fabric strings has released before, but they are definitely sturdier. I’m not sure if I’m completely sold on the idea, but they stack really well with the silver Essence bracelet and I’ll definitely consider them further.

It’s Christmas Eve and I’m happy to be taking it easy today while preparing for the most magical time of the year. There’s always so much to do, especially around the holidays, and I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce my Christmas bracelets! I started with a combined winter/Christmas theme last year but with all the new Christmas charms released for this year, I had more than enough to make a dedicated bracelet. In fact, there were so many, I had to experiment for a couple weeks on different combinations before settling on these two .

Happy Halloween, everyone! This ghoulish holiday is finally here and I’m so excited for it as I’ve been focusing on scary charms for the entire month. While Trick or Treating is mainly celebrated in the US, it’s quickly catching on in other countries so there’s quite a few options when it comes to celebrating with jewelry. I’ve mainly discussed Ohm Beads Dark Shadows Collection, Trollbeads Skeleton Spirit and Ghost Fighters .
