Started with the purple one in the middle (which is still the prettiest, in my opinion), and then got the rest with the free bangle mother's day promo we have locally. :-)

I’ve see a few Nice things to put on my list😍

This is the free bangle promo we have for Mothers' Day. Everything bought from Pandora, except the middle murano which was purchased second hand. :-)

it’s my first Pandora bracelet! would love suggestions on the charm organization :))

I bought my first bracelet in Paris last week. Was a little shocked at how expensive charms can be. But I already know it’s gonna be a new collecting addiction regardless. 😂
Kinda regret not buying the Arc the Triumph charm but my mom was already judging me for the amount of money I spend on this bracelet alone so I was too scared to go back in and buy a second charm. 😂

Don’t know what kind of bracelet I wanna go for but so far the Eiffel Tower charm looks good by itself.

I was able to get my recent order adjusted for the promo because i just bought 2 charms. Went in store today and got the pink chrome heart charm, a good addition to my pink theme bracelet to even out each section.

Wrist filled up today!!!😍😍😍

Thought it’d be interesting to post an Authentic vs Fakes comparison, so people have an idea what to look for!

This is Pandora’s white orchid charm. I discovered during my hunt for it, that this is one of the most commonly faked charms due to its relatively simple design.

The authentic is on the far left (as most of you can probably tell.) It’s larger and weightier than the others.

The easiest way I’ve been able to identify a fake charm is by its weight - authentic charms will FEEL solid and weighty when held in your hand. They will match your other charms in weight, “feel”, and size. I knew right away that the other two were fakes, even before I had the authentic for comparison, because they felt very light in my hand.

The middle charm is a fake from eBay (advertised as authentic…😒). Notice the center of the charm is a little off - the distance between the charm’s “eye” and the top petals are off. There is space where there shouldn’t be. It is also smaller and lighter than the authentic.

The right most charm is a fake from Etsy. Though the proportions are correct, it’s way too small and light to be authentic.

The fake charms are also too white - the authentic charm is a cream or off-white color (though I’m not sure if this is intentional or from aging.)

Finally, the price can sometimes be a giveaway. The fake charms were offered at half the price of the authentic.

Hope this was helpful or interesting! And if you have other tips for fake charms identification, please share!

I got my first bracelet last week and went crazy adding charms. I got the gold open heart. It’s hard to get on/off and feels like I may break it. I took advantage of the new promo and got the family heart bracelet and will return the other one. It feels tight though. Nervous to get a bigger size.

I ordered some charms on Whatnot. I have a feeling they are not real though 🙁. I know the bee, firefly and love birds are real because they came from Pandora!

Thanks to this group I have a bangle, starfish & clip charms coming from RueLala.

My bracelet gets all rusty and after I polish it, it can only last me about 2 weeks until it turns like this again. I have other jewelry but nothing like this happens. Do you have an advice on what I should do?

I’m ISO this charm! I looked on the website and there are none available within 2 hours of me and when I’ve been looking on second hand websites, the listings look sketchy. Like there aren’t actual pics of the charm, just the stock photos.

My red and gold charm necklace! 😍 newest additions are the graduation cap and the lucky cat 🎓🐱 I love them so much!!! Any suggestions on what other charms to add?

I uploaded a pic of my pink bracelet and many of you really liked the Sakura safety chain- I’m not personally a fan of any of the safety chains that Pandora has put out, and I found another beautiful solid sterling silver safety chain that compliments my blue/green bracelet 😌🩵💚

I’m wanting to get the pictured pendant and necklace for my friend as a gift. Are they a good match or should I just get a silver necklace instead?

Please let me know what you think or even alternatives to consider thank you.

ETA: The reason for the necklace choice is she has been wanting a plain simple gold necklace as well. I really would like the pendant for her and if the necklace goes well with it then BOOM… she can wear it without the pendant as well.

I also had this one in mind: https://us.pandora.net/en/necklaces/chain-necklaces/anchor-chain-necklace/363899C00.html
Also the classic cable chain.

Hi guys, I started a travel bracelet last year, and it’s almost full - I thought I’d give you guys an update.

Featuring charms from:

- Poland
- Switzerland
- Canada
- US
- Taiwan
- China
- Japan
- Thailand

& a fur mom charm because my cat is always with me in my heart.

I learned about half way about the difference between charms that represent and actual exclusive charms. I kinda wish I had picked more exclusive charms in the beginning, but the bracelet is still cute.

I struggle a little bit with cohesion, now the bracelet has a mix of red, blue and yellow.

Thailand had the most expensive travel exclusive charms, about 90€.

Cambodia does not have any travel exclusive charms, just a heads-up if you’re going there anytime soon.

I think that’s all for now! I’m traveling to the Middle East next week, so I’ll definitely see if I can pick up more charms out there. Almost time for a new bracelet!

my collection needs more shrimps guys (please I want a bracelet full of shrimps only)!!!
