I got mine yesterday!! Very easy to unscrew and put the charm over the little spot holder in the middle as long as you twist and pull easily, it goes right over :)

Mine just arrived but I cannot for the life of me get the charm to go over the first divider! I've got a Pandora bracelet and it's super easy but this one just doesn't want to go. I may give it to my hubby and get him to give it a try. I'm looking forward to wearing it and earning more charms. So far I've got three booked for this month. Just one more to go to earn the second charm! :chef:
 
I knew he could do it! LOL! He simply turned it around and it went right on! That's why he's my hero. :love:
 
I got the Food Chopper charm yesterday. It's so cute! It's a little looser as far as going over the dividers. Be careful opening your packages, though, my charm fell right out as I was opening it. It wasn't in the little bag that was taped to the paper, it was completely loose in the package. I really hope I can pull off 2 more shows this month so I can earn the other Oct. charm!
 
I wore my bracelet for the second time today and the charm we got from sizzle broke right off at the link attached to the charm. I was talking to someone and heard it fall. Lucky thing because they want it back to replace it. What would I have done if I hadn't heard it fall?! They said they'd send a label but it never came so I guess I have to call again on Monday... Now I'll be scared to wear it.
 
Does anyone know if the braclet and charms are real silver?

Question?? I am receiving my bracelet (just got a e-mail today) and was wondering what brand bracelet it is? Does anyone know so I can put more charms on my wishlist?

There is not a brand associated with the bracelet
 
no brand, but the pandora charms fit.
 
I am looking to purchase the Quick Stir Pitcher charm. My 4th November show was entered but first time I missed the midnight deadline and it was 12:01am on Dec. 1st :( anyone looking to sell the pitcher please contact me at [email protected]. Thanks!
 
Was it 12:01 central time? I think that is the deadline. If you are lucky enough to be ineastern, then I think you would be ok.
 
I am also looking for that 4 th show charm. I had everything and was going to put in show as soon as I got home and arrrgggghhh I fell asleep :(

No, I'm in Phoeniz. Hoping I connect with that "no jewelry wearing" person and we can help each other out :chef:
 
Personally I can't wait until this charm thing is over. I'm alergic to metals (had to have surgical steel removed from my ankle six weeks after implanted). Home office would only offer the key chain instead. I would much prefer an apron or one of their old left over products like they had last August. My charm bracelet and charms are scattered in my drawer useless to me.

Yeah, that really stinks. I wish they would always offer a PC$ or past incentive choice for people.

So.... did you happen to earn the stainless steel bowl set (4 shows in Oct.)? It the only one I haven't earned yet. If you have it, would you be willing to sell it to me? :blushing:

I'd be interested in the apron, trivet, and chef's hat/sizzle charms and maybe the spice turnabout and bowls if you have any of them. Willing to pay up to $20 each w/shipping.
 
No, I didn't get any of the charms for the 4 shows a month or recruits. I work another fulltime job (just three years from retirement) and have to travel a bit--never quite sure when the trips will be, which makes scheduleing the shows a bit difficult and I haven't exactly been successful in the Facebook shows. As far as the charms I do have, I'm trading them with my director for past consultant gifts, i.e., bags, or such. But thanks for the offers for to buy them.

Ok- just saw you have a deal with your director for exchange...very good idea.
Yes- it would be nice if HO gave us options of either the ITEM, or the PC $ instead. I don't wear lots of jewelry, and I don't need any more bags! Doesn't mean I don't want them or like them, but I don't NEED them. Give me an option to earn $$, and I'm there!For example- I love the 1-show= $50 PC bucks in january!!

That's so great of your director to do that for you! Hopefully one day PC will expand on the options. It's hard to complain because they don't have to give us anything and these are just nice little extras...but because they do put them on our 1099's (or whatever it's called), it sure would be nice if it could be something you like or can use.
 
I think all of the charms are adorable and the ONLY jewelry I wear besides my wedding band set is my pandora bracelet and the charms work great on it. However, while I have no problem with my Pandora brand charms, which I've had for a year now, the Pampered Chef ones aren't holding up at all. The enamel on the apple has chipped a little and the bottom has discolored and the black has come off of the food chopper also. But they are adorable and I like them.
 
You can always put a coating of clear fingernail polish on them - I've done it with lower-end jewelry pieces and eyeglass frames that used to turn my head green. If you don't want the hassle - send it to PC for a replacement.

I noticed that on the end of my bracelet, the silver coating is flaking off where it unscrews. :(
I cheated and bought a charm/bracelet first, then just earned my own official bracelet, so I have a spare I guess, along with a couple of charms now. :)

I have the same issue with mine. That and a couple of the charms won't go over the first divider. Doesn't really bother me since I just keep those two on that end and let the rest do what they want.
 
Why do the bracelets have dividers anyway? They're annoying. Do Pandora's bracelets have them?
 
Yes, Pandora has them as well.

Yeah, I just had a charm today that wont go over the first divider. Hopefully, I dont have that problem with the last couple I have yet to put on. One or two on the end is ok, but not more than that.
 
I'm usually allergic to jewelry but this bracelet doesn't bother me at all. My charms slide all over, going across the dividers at will. And the silver color is wearing off but I still like it!

I only had problems with two so maybe it was the same ones. One is the DCB which is longer than the other charms so I figured that was the reason why.

Mine was the stockpot. My DCB went on ok.
