We had a great time on the Pandora tour before getting dropped off at the
downtown shopping street. I managed to find a few great retired liquid silver
pieces including Pandora
Alphabet Charms
: large, medium, and small. They also still had some
of the newly retired charms and I bought the XL green python (I wish they would
come out with this design in the regular size). Pandora was obsessed with
finding a Story by Kranz and Ziegler retailer on the islands and after drooling
over her purchases, I caved and bought another one for myself as well. I’ll post
more on that later.
There was a bit of controversy as some ladies had
been told only the purchases at the Concept store would be honored for the 20%
rebate on St. Maarten, while others were assured that everything Pandora
Murano Glass Beads
bought on the islands would be accepted, so I’m
not sure what came of that since i only bought from the Concept store there. By
the end, the stores sold out of most of their special engraved beads and other
items too. My husband fondly called us silver locusts as we swarmed and consumed
most of the charms on these islands.
I don’t have too much to expand
about regarding the workshops, details for the events can be found on Pandora
Cruise 2013 – Day 3, Pandora Cruise 2013 – Day 6, Pandora Cruise 2013 – Day 7.
The most fun I had was hanging out and chatting with my Pandora friends. One of
the ladies, Brenda Parks, brought two big bags of charms to sell and we were all
huddled around her stash like drug addicts doing lines, lol. I saw a few
creative ways to wear Pandora that i just had to share; one is from Pandora and
she had her jeweler attach a hoop ring to the lobster clasp bracelet so that she
could wear her medical alert Pandora
Silver Charms australia
as part of her Pandora bracelet –
ingenious! Stephanie from Pandora also had a great idea to use the double clips
with rings to create a unique-looking Pandora bracelet which Donna adopted with
panache. A couple ladies memorialized their unforgettable moment with matching
cruise tattoos!
During the summer 2013 runway preview, Pandora gave out
10 of the new triple leather bracelets and the last night we had a big farewell
party with all of the attendees and the Pandora team gave out a slew of prizes.
We started off with the promo items: towels, passport/luggage tag carriers, play
trays, goody bags, designer signed Pandora look books, mugs, and then got to the
good stuff – 10 jewelry prizes which was a charm from the new collection and a
bangle.
My husband seems to be real lucky as he won one of the last
prizes of the night, the teal fascinating Pandora and a bangle! I was over the
moon; I’d been eyeballing that bead the entire trip and could not have been
happier that he got it for me. For those that didn’t get drawn during the
raffle, everyone received the lip balm, umbrella, and canvas tote.
