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.

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?

I prefer simpler looks and I like the lobster clasp bracelet most. I also do not see myself ever having any muranos in my future collection. Do I still need clips? Also, I would likely not wear my bracelet every day.

Any insight and expertise is greatly appreciated! Hi Nicole! Even if you are using the lobster clasp bracelet, clips are advisable. One of the things they protect against is charms getting stuck on the clip stations and breaking the bracelet. However, as you are only going to be wearing three charms or so at a time, I suspect that you will be okay without them. If you do notice any stretching or kinks developing in the bracelet as you wear it, I would think again about clips.

They are very unobtrusive and will help to keep your charms in place without having to use clips. Hope that helps Nicole!

The stoppers are a great idea! I will try that and keep a close eye. I love pandora. I want to ask you one. They very publically lost their contract a couple of years ago, but seem to get the odd few pieces from each new collection in still.

Thank you. Thanks for answers. We obtain looking for Retired Charms. Retired Charms bar can not I get? Aloha spacer I want to save these too Do you know that the phrase from? Let me know.
