Did anyone get a picture of what it looks like with the charms we could vote for? I thought it would be somewhere on cc but nada. I wished they would have given us a flyer and/or let us vote for the whole 3 days!
 
I'm crushed over the whole bracelet thing. Next year would have been my last diamond n my ring and I have been working my tail off for YEARS to get to the tennis bracelet. I am crushed and I HATE the new style bracelet. It looks just like the Pandora bracelets that EVERYBODY is wearing these days -nothing special about it at all. The tennis bracelet was so unique that people would stop you and say "What a pretty bracelet..." thus opening up the opportunity to talk about PC.

Carolyn, my AD feels the same way. Her hubs has been offering to buy her a tennis bracelet for years and she told him no..I will be earning mine with PC. She was so excited to be moving onto the tennis bracelet this year. She actually cried a bit over the announcement. She has been with PC for 12 years and finally was there....
 
Wow, I thought the new bracelet was beautiful! Of course I can understand those that have been working to get there and now don't have it to look forward to. I like how each year will be a unique charm to identify which year you earned it. I'd love to get there!

I'm sorry you guys are so bummed. =( I'm not really a ring person so I'm just happy to straight to a bracelet. I like both styles but feel the new one is better for everyday wear. I hope it strikes up lots of conversations!
 
I personally like the new style as well but then I am Newish to PC too and it would have taken 6 more years for me to even think bracelet. However, I can understand and emphathize with those who have been working and waiting over 7 years to start theirs.
 
The new bracelet is trendy and in a few years will be out of style whereas the tennis bracelet is timeless.

Personally I am sad that I didn't earn the ring when it was the original style. It is beautiful and was unique.
 
Here you go girl. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/270208_2228499037186_1389121744_3431690_189664_n.jpg
