My Pandora Bracelet

I was feeling pretty good about my Pandora bracelet. Ella bought me two more charms when she came down to visit last, and the whole middle section of my bracelet is basically full. I think I have room for one more spacer in there, but that's about it. I've also decided that I want to get some purple murano glass beads for my bracelet, as I already have one that I wear on the matching necklace that Ella gave me. (Since Pandora doesn't do much in the way of purple, my one purple murano bead is actually from Chamilia.)

So, I had been wearing my bracelet a bit more than usual, and I found out that I am allergic to it! I usually only wear gold jewelry, but I really like the Pandora bracelet, so I wear it, even though it is silver. Well, I got a patchy little rash on my arm where it sits, and I guess that's because I'm allergic to whatever silver metal the jewelry is made of.

(Now that this has happened, I remembered why I switched to gold jewelry when I was just a little girl - elemetary school age, I think - I got a rash on my ears from wearing silver earrings. I have been wearing mostly gold ever since then...)

I guess I'm going to have to wear my bracelet a little less frequently, and I'm going to have to get more glass beads, and hope that I'm not allergic to those as well!

There is a coating you can get for your bracelet that will stop you from reacting to it. It can be found at craft stores. I don't remember the name exactly but it comes in a package that looks like clear nail polish.

Thanks, I'll have to look into that!
