Charm bracelet question..

12 years ago

Ok, my daughter has a Pandora charm bracelet that was her best friend's who passed a few months ago from ovarian cancer. I would like to buy here a charm and wonder what you all would recommend. I am going to post a pic of a Mother/Daughter one, but a question with that one is do I give her both? I don't have a bracelet so help me out here please. Thanks!

I don't know a thing about Pandoras, but when you said you were going to get a charm I was thinking it would relate more to the bracelet's original owner, and your daughter's friendship with her. Just a thought.

I agree with alisande. My thoughts exactly.

EBay....search for vintage sterling charms.... Charm bracelets are classics....always in style....but became an expensive accessory when silver and gold prices went through the roof. Linda C

Jewelry making is very fun but I do think it is a pretty expensive hobby. If you use sterling silver and crystals or other semi or precious stones it can add up, handcrafted lampwork beads are beautiful but can get costly also. If you purchase the sterling silver letter beads they are about $1.00 each. If you buy good crystals they add up also. If you try it (jewelry making) just beware that it is very addicting = )

i personally wouldn't wear mine... but, it's got my full 1st name and middle name as well as my full birthdate engraved on the front... i also think that even though it was special to my grandmom, it's less so for me---even if it didn't have my birhdate, i don't think i'd be inclined to wear my name around my neck. if i had and wore a charm bracelet with lots of other charms, i would add that one to it- but i don't. i will make mine up into an ornament too!!

With a split charm like that the traditional use is for you to keep one and your daughter the other. Since you don't have a Pandora perhaps you could wear your charm on a chain or another bracelet.

Here's another charm that might solve your problem and you might like it better - it's one charm with 2 separate hanging hearts - one has Mother and the other has Daughter. Maybe it's just me but the split charm that you showed almost looks like a broken heart - and I know that's not your intention.

I would buy her a charm in memory to her friend who passed away first. Then the mother/daughter charms and you wear yours around your neck on a nice necklace. The charms should be memorable to the daughter.

My husband and I had key chains that were similar, in that they were a divided heart. When together they said, " May the Lord watch between you and me when we are apart one from the other." He's gone almost 11 yrs, but I still have both halves of that key chain. I keep it in my car.

Hellion, it is a pretty charm~~it does not look broken to me it is like a puzzle piece showing how your hearts come together~~buy it. Wear yours as suggested on a necklace or give her both pieces. There are no rules here, you do what you want~~~all of the charms on the bracelet that were put there by her friend will always and forever remind her of her special friend. You adding one, you like is very loving also.

Brighton has pretty charms!

Son and grandson gave me a Brighton charm bracelet with Mom and Grandmother charms on each side of a heart charm.

I ended up ordering two. One is silver with pastel colored hearts all around it. It is "Love all around". The other is silver with gold saying "Daughter". We can always exchange them. She is wearing the bracelet and received new charms for Christmas from friends so I think maybe she is starting to add her own to it.
Glenda that is a really great bracelet!
I appreciate all your input and advice ladies.

I have had a Pandora bracelet for years, I have it filled with wonderful charms, it is really heavy if you wear them all at once. I also have one of the old school charm bracelets from my HS days;)

Hellion, the ones you picked sound beautiful~~

AWW Glenda you are so loved by your boys;) I also love Brighton~
