It is a gift with some beads and a charm already on it.
I have $150 to buy more beads and charms.
I notice most of them have a primary color. The beads I already have are green and silver.
I am very attracted to the pink charms and beads, but I know that will not look like I want it to with the green.
Can you show me your bracelet, or give me advice on how to choose some more? I keep looking on line and putting stuff in my cart, but then taking it out, because I don't know how it will look.
I didn't find much green. I would like some color...not just silver. I even considered taking the green beads off and replacing them with pink. I like the murano glass beads,too.

Are you close to a Pandora store? If so, I would recommend taking in your bracelet and playing around with the different beads in the store.

There's a number of different bead companies, Pandora, Charmed Memories and one other that has slipped my mind. All fit the Pandora bracelet. If I was you and wanted to use some pink, I'd find a charm or two that had both the pink and green in them, then you can mix in some pink beads with it.

While several different companies do make beads that fit, Pandora states that using anything but theirs will void your warranty.

One of my favorite things with my bracelet is my dh got me this connector that connects both sides. I was having problems with one bead that kept coming off. Now it never can. I love that its all together. Easier for me to put on too.
I can't find it online because I don't know what it's called. Maybe one of the Pandora experts here will know. But I would get that right off. Other than that, I'm not much of a help.

Troll Beads has a great selection of glass beads in some very pretty colors. I wouldn't be hesitant about mixing them despite the warranty, I mean these are just beads and a chain for the love of pete what harm can come to them.
Seems like you have $ to spend at Pandora so I would be with the other posters and say go and visit one, that's the only way you really are going to know and I am sure one of the sales people will be more than happy to help you.

It's mostly Pandora, with a few Chamillia and a few Ohm beads. I find for my bracelet, I just like to buy charms/beads that have some type of meaning for me. And then I threw in a couple of pretty but generic coloured ones to break up all the silver.

I have a mix of Disney, travel, and things I like (turtles, camera, etc.). I have two cobalt blue charms that I'll only add if I'm wearing blue. I love the color coordinated ones, but feel that limits when I can wear it. Here's mine: Attachments:

I have safety chains on all my soft chains and clips on all the hard ones. This way the charms don't fall off or slide around.
I have 2 different bracelets with murano beads on them. I like them a lot. I had only silver charms until recently. Then my parents got me a silver bangle with a gold clasp and a gold bead. I wanted something a little different this time. This bracelet has 2 gold spacers on it and six charms total.
Please don't make your bracelet too heavy. I did that and hurt my wrist. A few charms or 2 or even one that means the world to you is really special.
Congratulations!!!!

I don't really have a color scheme to mine! I actually have 3....one bracelet I call the "love" one because it has all charms DH got me, the second bracelet I call my "holiday" one because the charms are christmas, halloween and the third is a Disney bracelet with the special Disney charms on it.

Mine is silver, pink and green. I have a couple beads that have both pink & green on them and then some that are just pink or just green. Mine isn't Pandora. It's the Helzberg one. Expressions, I think.

OP - Maybe try doing a google image search. Might help you envision what colors would look good together and are appealing to you. While several different companies do make beads that fit, Pandora states that using anything but theirs will void your warranty. Diane This is quite true. However the Pandora warranty only lasts two years. So feel free to buy whatever beads you like after two years! Also be aware that they may not replace a broken bracelet even IN the warranty period. My original bracelet only held authentic Pandora charms but it broke. Pandora would not repair or replace it because they said the break did not qualify as a manufacturing fault. So I personally decided I was going to wear whatever beads I liked on my bracelet and not worry about the so called warranty. Good news is that I currently have a couple Camilia beads on my replacement Pandora bracelet (that I had to pay for) and it is still going strong after a couple years of almost daily wear. I'm such a rebel I put Pandora beads on my Camilia bracelet too!  Although I can't speak to the longevity of that one because I don't wear it as much.

I had the employee I deal with make me a Valentine's bracelet last year based on the photo they were using to advertise it on line and in magazines. I really love that bracelet! It is way too heavy so i need to prune it a bit. It is so beautiful!

I have two Pandora bracelets and I haven't worn them for awhile, this post makes me want to wear them again! I don't have any color in mine, one is all silver beads and one is all gold/silver beads. I do agree that the pink and green looks nice together.

I also think pink and green go well together.
I'd start getting pink charms and over time you might want to replace the green, but for now it's ok.
I started with a purple theme. Over time I changed out the purple for pink because I felt the purple was too dark. Now I have mostly pink, silver and white. My glass charms are white. I have a lot of pave charms with cubics that I love.

I have 3 Pandora bracelets and now me seeing the green and pink bracelet makes me want another.
Don't really worry about what others like. Pandora is solely for your likes. Example, my cousin has a mostly brown charm bracelet with a ton of dangle charms. I don't care for it (I've never told her.) She loves it and wears it everyday.

Pandora is all about you. You need to get the most recent catalogue they just released. This is your bracelet. You are building it for yourself. If you want to fill it, you go girl! It's all about you! If the Disney charms are important to you because you went to Disney every year when your kids were young (if you even had kids) then that's another place to start. Pandora sales people here aren't pushy at all. I guide the one who helps me with what I want to look at. She makes no comments other than if something looks too heavy or will fall off maybe a different positioning might be better.

My green beads are more jade than lime but I really like the pink. I think I'm going too go for that and I can remove the jade color later if I want. Thanks everyone!

I have 2 Pandora bracelets. Because I live in Louisiana, one is purple, gold (yellow) & green beads, the Mardi Gras colors, plus some silver beads as well. The other is just silver beads.
I love looking at finished Pandora bracelets as there are so many pretty color combinations that can be put together. I also love the look of just the black beads & silver ones.
I wear my bracelets quite often!

All of mine have some kind of meaning....a football for my two nephews who played college ball, an angel for my niece who died, etc...I do like the pink and green together though

on the Pandora website there is a design tool where you can try different combinations. It is fun. Also, if you google you can find some really great designs put together by others.

Another one with green glass beads. I have a couple more bracelets as this has been my DH's go to present for the last 5 years (birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, Anniversary). We go to a small local jewelry store that sells pandora. The ladies are great about helping me or DH come up with combinations.
