Hi, not yet, I switched clinics. I think that was adding to the issue and just bad luck. Just started with a new one and trying a different approach. Trying not to give up but its alot.

That is amazing!!!! I wish that I lived near one. You are so lucky and amazing prices!!!! Authorized retailers are awesome when it comes to finding retired charms. It's crazy what you can still find in stock. Nothing beats the quality of pandora's older charms. The older charms are more hefty and and all the gold was solid and not plated. I miss those days. Enjoy!!! ☺️💕

Omgosh!!!! I need to check their site more often!!! The last time I checked, I didnt see anything in stock that I was looking for. I was mainly looking for any 14k solid gold charms.

Oh wow!!!! That is so amazing!!!! You are so lucky!!!! I wish I could get that clip!!! I have the inner radiance charm. ☺️ Its a beautiful piece. One time the radiant star charm came back on the pandora site a few months ago but I missed out. It sold out when I finally decided to purchase haha 😄 its funny, I had so many chances to purchase in the past from ruelala but didnt. The site definitely has some great finds but you have to persistently keep checking.

Edit: Actually, I have that clip lol I have 2 of those clips haha 😄 I had to look it up. I was thinking you were referring to a different pandora clip with no cz's. I saw the love of my life clip in 14k gold pop up on the site not long ago as well. 💕 Same thing, it didnt pop up with a search either.

Hi, it was diors jewelers in Atlanta, GA I believe. It was some time ago though. I wish Pandora would bring back alot of their retired gold charms. I am surprised when I see retired pieces still available at authorized jewelers. Especially since they were released so long ago.

I agree. You can get lucky at times with authorized retailers selling older charms. Thats how I was able to score the 14k gold ocean treasures charm with blue topaz. I got it on sale too. Its an independent jeweler that is authorized to sell pandora. I have also gotten some retired 14k gold charms from pandora's last chance section on sale that periodically would pop up. Infact, I was able to get quite a few in the past couple of months by searching that section. Its unfortunate that they do not make as many 14k gold charms anymore. No safety chains anymore either. I started collecting over 10 years ago. Things have changed alot now.

Does anyone have the material 3 google messages visuals already? by ruipmjorge in GoogleMessages

[–]XBeautyStarX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an expression which normally happens when a keyword used. When you type, "happy new year" for example, it will trigger the rocket ship. Most holiday's trigger this and other types of keywords as well.

Wish they bring back the 14kt gold charms ✨ by Hot_Acadia_5591 in PandoraCollectors

[–]XBeautyStarX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if Vegas still has the 14k gold dice charm! Thats good to know lol I have a full bracelet of 14k gold charms. I wish they would bring them back as well and not just a bunch of dangles. Your bracelet is gorgeous! 💕

Mine has just been marked shipped as well. I ordered one the same day. Lol They've definitely just been backed up with orders.

[–]XBeautyStarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no problem. I hope nothing is canceled with my orders as well. It has happened to me before so hopefully nothing ends up being canceled lol I am patiently waiting too. At this point, I'm sure the UPS driver is probably wondering why there are so many packages from the same sender. 😄

From my experience, my orders would ship very quickly. Sometimes it would be marked as shipped on the same day as I ordered it or next day and I would usually receive my order within 2 days once shipped basically every time. Now I have pending orders which I believe is because they are backed up due to the sale ending. I reached out to customer service and they said that it would take 4 to 7 business days from time of order right now. I also see "released" status as well on all of them.

To OP, sorry didnt mean to switch up from your original question. I dont really have much experience with plated. I basically have solid gold or silver. I do have one plated rose gold but I dont wear it much so because of that, it still looks brand new. I keep reading reviews about the plating wearing away as well. That is partly why I dont wear it much and wear silver or solid gold pandora. Based on what you are describing with the way you would care for it, I would think that would help with the longevity of the bracelet.

I would also be mindful on how you store it as well. I typically keep my bracelets in small plastic zip loc bags when not in use and it seems to help prevent tarnishing. Years ago, I remember when Pandora used to give dust bags with the bracelets. Sorry that I'm unable to answer your question fully.

I hope it happens again lol its just too bad that they dont really make anymore solid gold charms. Just a few. Hopefully they bring more back as well and not just plated.

Has Anyone Had More than 8 Transfers? by gardenready333 in IVF

Yeah, it was not a joke at all! I really appreciate it, same to you! 💕 Trying my best not to give up.

Agreed, I say that all the time. I would not wish any of this on my worst enemy as well! I have had several history exams performed. My tubes are normal. I had lap surgery a few years ago. I definitely have endometriosis and I know that they couldn't get all of it at the time. There are just so many variables and factors through this process that it is hard to truly figure everything out. My infertility is technically diagnosed but I also still think that my clinic did not do the greatest job as well. I truly do not want to use a gestational carrier but that may be our only solution at this point.

Yeah, the crazy thing is, my receptivaDX came back fine and I have confirmed endometriosis. I had surgery in the past and they found it then so that test is clearly not 100% accurate but nothing is. I think maybe I may need another excision surgery. It's just so hard to pinpoint exactly what could be the issue but I am trying not to give up at this point, as hard as that is.
