What's On My Daughter's Pandora Jewelry Bracelet

My daughter expressed interest in getting her own Pandora jewelry bracelet so in one of Pandora annual sales I took the opportunity to get one as a free gift with a purchase of over one  hundred and twenty five dollars.  So I was eventually able to give her bracelet when I traveled to Trinidad and Tobago (my home country) around September 2017.  

It was my intention to purchase a few charms to go with her new bracelet but I ended up giving her some of my charms.  The mother and son dangle is a heart charm in two pieces.  The inside of each piece is blue with the words printed MOTHER on one half and SON on the other half.

I gave my daughter the half labeled MOTHER and I kept the other side. I also gave her my booty dangle charm, which I purchased to commemorate my first grandson.  

I Am Super Pleased With My Manicure At Studio One, Road Town, Tortola

At the beginning of this year I created a vision board with the things I want to manifest and having a monthly  pedicure and manicure is on my list.

So yesterday I went to have my nails done at a salon located on Main Street, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and I am super pleased with the results.  

The name of the salon is Studio One.  I had a manicure done and gel polished applied.  The manicure was well done. Special attention was applied to my cuticles, my nails cleaned and buffed.  

The reason I am so impressed is that while I was in Trinidad and Tobago, my home country, early on this year I went to have a manicure done and gel polished applied.  First of all the manicure was not done to my liking - no attention as applied to my cuticles weren't buffed properly   I was not pleased.  

Then as the gel polished was being applied it was not going on smoothly and another attempt was made.  We eventually ended up just applying regular polish.

When I returned to Tortola BVI, my place of residence, the first thing I did was make a trip to the salon, for a manicure and pedicure, that is operated by some Asians.  This used to be the only place I would go because they open for operations about 7:30am and there is always someone there to attend to me - no lengthy waiting time. 

But I notice lately that when I go in to do both a manicure and pedicure they would do my manicure while doing the pedicure.  I feel that my manicure should be done at a manicure table for best results.  In addition to that, on a few occasions the gel polished was not applied properly and I had to return to have it re-applied.

I eventually decided to have my nails done at a different salon and I am very happy with my decision.😊😊

Pandora Sterling Silver Jewelry Maintenance/Cleaning Tips

The following tips were posted, by viewers, on my YouTube video about cleaning my Pandora jewelry with baking soda

▪ Pandora jewelry doesn't rust unless it gets into water and not dried and polished afterwards in all crevices.

It's silver and tarnish's over time like any silver does. So this is normal if it's not being stored properly. You can invest in anti tarnish pouches.

Also Invest in a Pandora polishing cloth after cleaning your bracelet. It contains everything you need in the cloth (i.e. oils) so you add nothing. It brings it up brand new. Also remember to never wear it in a swimming pool or hot tub, in the shower to avoid chemicals and product build up and remove if you come in contact with other chemicals like fake tan, perfume.

This should be done with any jewelry but especially if you have any with gems and enamel (Until its dry on your skin) always dry and buff up afterwards.

▪ The best way to clean Pandora Jewelry is just plain baby soap/baby shampoo and warm water, leave it over night and rinse that’s it. Now, I’ve seen you used baking soda and it worked but the thing is once there’s baking soda left on the spirals inside the charms, it can get stuck on the big threads due to left particles inside. When spiraled charms got stripped and won’t be able to pass on those big threads that’s when we cut the bracelet. Trust me, We’ve cut bracelets multiply times due to those😊. Don’t have it contact with other chemicals for they get tarnished real quick. Make sure to keep them in ziploc when not wearing.
