Since my renewed interest in Pandora jewelry I have watched a zillion YouTube videos of people sharing their charm collections. Based on the video comments I seem to echo other viewers in that we can't get enough of gawking at other people's charms. It's fun to see the retired ones as well as how the new releases look on a bracelet. It's also strangely interesting to hear the meaning and stories attached to each bead.
For the past few weeks, as my collection of Pandora jewelry has grown, I've been considering filming a video of my own. It has been a while since I have done any proper YouTube uploads, let alone set-up and editing of a tutorial or share. My tripod no longer fits the phone I have so I've also been researching DIY stands and ways to film, and whether or not I want to invest the time. I knew I wanted any video I filmed to be in focus (many are not) and to the point.
Then this morning I got a notification of a comment on YouTube. Imagine my bemused shock to realize the My Pandora Charms video on which the comment was posted, was MY OWN! I have zero recollection of making the video and quickly clicked to watch it. I was pretty pleased that the actual filming wasn't that bad, especially given some that are out there, and even though it's from 2013 (!), is still quite relevant. Now, I certainly didn't have the Pandora knowledge I do now, and not only didn't know the names of each charm but also incorrectly identified clips as spacers. Um...no! lol!
So, I think I might just make that new video after all. I have much more to share now and have a better understanding of the collection, the way to plan and style the bracelets, and the dos and don'ts of Pandora. I still have to figure out how to film and how to post but it will be fun to add to the videos for die-hards to watch. Even though we all have similar charms and stories, each Pandora bracelet is very individual, both in the way it is curated and the meaning behind it. Also, at this time most of those early charms I have are now retired and/or sought after and I have even learned I own a 'rare and hard-to-find' one!!
Here's that vintage video in case you're interested...
