What is the difference between Chamilia and Pandora bracelets?
Pandora and Chamilia are both companies that sell upscale sterling silver charm bracelets and coordinating jewelry that allows women to create custom and personalized pieces.
Pandora and Chamilia bracelets both use a threaded system that allows beads to twist on the bracelet without falling off when you remove the bracelet. The beads are interchangeable and both companies offer all silver, all gold, or mixed beads as well as many options with gems, stones, enamel and colored glass. Both companies offer bracelets with either a lobster claw clasp or a hinged signature clasp.
Both companies offer a way to prevent beads from sliding to the bottom of the bracelet if it is only partially loaded. In essence the customer can create "sections" of their bracelet and place beads wherever they want. Pandora's clips need to be set on little joints that already exist in the bracelet. Chamilia's locks can be placed anywhere on the bracelet. Chamilia also offers connectors so you can make a double bracelet or necklace.
The beads from both companies are very good quality and start at around $25 for sterling silver. Overall, Pandora is a bit more expensive and has more (14K gold) beads in the $200 range than does Chamilia. Pandora has a reputation for being slightly more upscale partly because they have done aggressive marketing and product placement in magazines and with celebrities.
The Pandora beads are slightly larger and thus "heavier" than Chamilia's. The bracelets feel substantial and classic, even in all sterling silver. Chamilia has a softer overall look, with more pretty, pink and feminine beads, but this is a matter of personal opinion and most people like beads from both collections. Chamilia has more themed beads, like shells, martini glasses, beads that say "mom," etc., which appeals to some. Chamilia is also carries licensed Disney beads. You can combine beads from both companies on one bracelet. Either company offers the chance to create a very high-end look with silver and gold, or a more "fun" and whimsical look with charms and colors.
On the internet, you find slightly more quality complaints for Chamilia beads (metal discoloration, color scraping, etc) than for Pandora, but overall both companies offer high quality beads as compared to cheaper "no name" options that might be plated or filled rather than solid.
Pandora and Chamilia both release new beads several times per year. Pandora regularly "retires" certain beads, which increases demand and interest.
Pandora and Chamilia were involved in a lawsuit. Pandora claims that Chamilia has infringed its patent-pending bead threading system. The courts just delivered (August 2008) a decision that favors Chamilia, saying essentially that although the systems for threading are the same, more competition in the marketplace is a good thing. Pandora is appealing.
Pandora currently requires retailers to carry Pandora exclusively, which is why you do not see retailers that have both brands side by side. but some onlineshop will sale both of them, eg. www.hoobeads.com.
(Trollbeads are another charm brand with similar styles and designs, but Trollbeads usually do NOT fit on Pandora and Chamilia bracelets. Although there may be invidividual beads that will fit, they are not interchangeable systems. However, all Chamilia and Pandora beads will fit on Trollbeads bracelets.)
Chamilia is not the original bead company. Trollbeads is the original company, having been founded in 1976. Pandora was founded in the 1990s, and Chamilia in the 2000's.

Where is power bracelet in wind waker?
In this volcanic like island south of dragon roost island. However, you will need to get the ice arrows first. If you got the bow and arrow from the miniboss in Tower of Gods, use balled of gales song with your wind waker so you can enter mother and child island which is south-east of forsaken fortress. If you have the bow and arrows, but not the balled of gales, then sail around randomly until you find a big tornado. Use your bow and arrows to shoot the reddish pink colored frog at the top of the tornado 3 times and he will teach you the song. Hope this helps :)

The best the directions for the best bracelets you can make with string?
Let's see if I can explain how I used to make friendship bracelets out of string (embroidery thread): 1. Cut six long strands (about 24") of embroidery thread. 2. Tie them all together in one knot about two inches from the end. 3. Tape the knotted end to the table to hold it while you work. 4. Lay the strings out flat. 5. Tie the second string once around the first string, then the third string once around the second string, then the fourth around the third and so on. Continue doing this until you've created a woven bracelet to fit you. 6. Once you're done "weaving", tie a knot to secure it. Cut off the remaining thread and tie it around your wrist. Sounds confusing, but once you get started, it's easy.

If an anklet is for your ankle why is it a bracelet for your wrist?
A bracelet was a small piece of jewelry or armor given by a Knight to his Lady as a remembrance while he was away on a campaign. The bracelet would match something on his brace of armor worn on his arm so the Knight also had a reminder of his love. So I doubt a Lady would wear more than one bracelet.
Firstly, it really depends on whether you want to make an elastic bracelet or a wire bracelet or a chain bracelet, etc...
If you want to make an elastic bracelet it is really quite simple.
You will need- A piece of elastic, some beads and some scissors
1. Start by measuring how big you want the bracelet to be by wrapping it round your wrist and settling on what feels comfortable.
2. If you are making a bracelet with very large beads you may want to add a couple of extra cms on to your length. Remember, you can always trim away the excess wire if the bracelet is too big but you cannot add more elastic to make the bracelet longer.
3. Once you have decided on your length, cut your piece of string according to that length.
4. Now you have you piece of elastic cut to the size you want. Next tie a knot at one end of the piece of elastic to ensure that when you are threading the beads, none of the beads fall off.
5. Always make sure that the knot is bigger than the hole for the beads, otherwise they will fall off. Also when tying your knot, the elastic may spring back out at you, if this happens hold the knot in place and tie a couple more very tight knots.
6. You are now ready to thread the beads onto your piece of elastic. Think carefully about the color combination of your beads and the size, as although these things may not seem relevant at the start, you may find that the bracelet will look, interesting when you are finished. And remember, sometimes the most simplest of patterns can look the most effective.
7. Once you are satisfied with the beading arrangement on your piece of elastic you are ready to transform it into a bracelet.
8. Take both ends of the elastic and tie them together securely. Once you are happy with the knots you have made you are ready to wear your bracelet.
