Which bracelet should I buy?

So I saw a bracelet by les trois enfant in a magazine today and thought HMMMMM, i quite want one of those, but now i am thinking about it i have more of a conundrum!
I want something that i can have a little charm or similar for each of my children, so these are what i've narrowed it down to:-

this one with 3 discs, each with a name on

this one 3 bangles interlinked with an engraving (but no charms)

or a regular links of london charm bracelet with either an engraved disc, or a letter charm each

I do have a charm bracelet though, which was my Grandma's, but I never wear it as i'm so scared i'll break/lose it. but perhaps i should just use that????

what do you think?

I like the bangles- theyre more unusual and will go with anything

IMHO the links of london charm bracelet fad will be over in a year or so... im kinda sick of looking at them

the bangles are a bit like russian bangles but simpler...very timeless and classic.

see i was leaning towards the bangles too, but then dp said he thought they'd annoy me and that I should go for the one with the soft strap and the discs esp if i am wanting to wear it a lot.

decisions decisions!

I must admit after saying I didn´t like them I have been sucked into the whole Pandora thing.

I saw a couple of beads I liked & that set me off.

Admittedly though I didn´t buy actual Pandora, but the fact that the charms fit on the bracelet & don´t "dangle" is great.

hmmmm i am still no closer to deciding.

although, the fact that the bangle ones are unpriced (you have to contact them for prices) is slightly worrying lol

The first one looks cheap with the bracelet part and the second one is pretty nice.

I bought myself a silver bracelet and had the jewellers engrave the heart on it. I have my children's names on one side and a personal message about dh and I on the other.
