Monarch-
I love your bracelet and I appreciate your posting photos. I do not know if you have the stamina to take any more photos of the bracelet, but if you do, I would like to see more photos. As with Rachel''s bracelet, I have the feeling that your first photo(s) are not showing us everything. The first photo is obviously the correct (or close to the correct) yellow gold color, but it is not close enough to show any detail on the charms. The second photo is closer up, but the color is off and it still isn''t close enough!
If possible, I would love to see a few more photos and really see all of the charms close up. It is a beautiful bracelet (I, also, love the pail) and I really want to look at it! Thank you for posting, Monnie!

Thank you so much for taking and posting all those extra photographs. I love them! And, although I still lust after your pail, I have fallen for your manatee and your flip flops, too, now that I have seen them close up! The manatee is exquisite! It is the finish on the charm that makes my knees weak. It is so satiny! I think your bracelet is just out of this world...but then yellow gold often has that effect on me and when it is combined with a beautiful, traditional, charm bracelet, naturally I am in awe!
Thank you again for taking more photos!
Hugs,

Awww...Monarch. Your story made me cry too... I love hearing of beautiful memories attached to beautiful jewellery
AGBF...I love, love, love that cupcake charm. I sometimes wish my daughters bracelet was gold. I would buy it in a heartbeat. We love to make cupcakes together whenever we can..*Off to look for a silver, thomas sabo cupcake charm lol
Her charms are not soldered on though, they have a clasp so they can be removed and changed between the necklaces, earrings or bracelets. I took a pic of the Eiffel tower to show you.. I wonder if I was to buy a charm and see if i could find someone who could put the clasp on it?? Definately something to think about
I see what you mean, AussieNic. You must have to buy charms from a certain manufacturer. I wouldn' worry. Eiither you can find a way to modify the charm or you can start a new bracelet for your daughter that has permanent charms! (Of course if you do that, you have to decide whether you want to do it in gold. But maybe you want to do one for yourself in gold?)
I''m curious, what do you mean by "destroyed" like tore apart to make new things?Date: 2/19/2010 3:58:03 AM

I confirmed last night that my daughter, a few years ago, destroyed her gold charm bracelet along with other very special jewelry I had had made for her. Only people on Pricescope would know how devastating this was for me. After all, it was, ''only money''. But it wasn''t ''only money'' to me...it was a lot more. A ring she destroyed was made for her when she was a baby out of an E colored diamond taken from my band when I had my solitaire reset. I picked the charms-mainly Rembrandt charms-carefully for that bracelet. I bought beautiful, large charms of the many musical instruments she played throughout elementary and middle school and looked for shoes and other items to represent her study of ballet and tap. She also destroyed a diamond necklace...and pearls. I knew she had destroyed a lot. I just hadn''t realized what she had had in her jewelry box and what I had had in mine! (I had been hoping I had custody of the charm bracelet!)

No. I mean took apart with scissors and threw into the garbage, possibly secretly so that no one could find it. She did this with her jewelry; her expensive, designer purses; and her clothing (both designer jeans-True Religion-and non-designer) for years. Last night she told me that she must have had 30 pairs of True Religion jeans in her life, and she has 5 now. Her grandfather, who lives in a small house with no garage and works for a living at age 89, gives her the money for these because he loves her and wants to see her happy. And she is a skinny clothes horse. One of the only pleasures she has in life is dressing up. She barely eats. Trying to keep her weight at 105 (she is 5' 5") is a labor of Hercules. I hadn't planned on making a public exhibition of myself, but from time to time I guess I need to...because I have shared on Pricescope before. Here is some of the back story.
