Pandora Charm Bracelet ......

My daughter has asked for one of these for her 21st - please can anyone tell me if they are any good? They seem to be very fashionable at the moment! Thanks :)

I've got something similar which is a Chamilia http://www.chamilia.com/uk/en

My husband bought me a necklace and bracelet but went a bit mental on the charms so I have too many on the bracelet (once he hit on the idea he milked it a bit and as we have five kids who also give me charms (via him) I can't take any of them off in case I offend one of them). Not sure if the charms are inter-changeable between brands though.

They are all the rage and I think Pandora and Troll are the 2 main ones but there are lots of cheaper versions avaiable. The price of the beads is a bit steep though - I got my daughter 3 for hers (Troll) and they were £50, £50 and £70 each.

I hate to think what my husband has spent on mine and I very rarely wear it - it's not really practical for every day wear and I don't go out! They are nice though (and v thoughtful).

I prefer the Links of London Sweetie bracelets but she prefers the Pandora!

I think the Italian charm bracelets are much more wearable.

I have a Pandora and only get bought charms for it on special occasions so they all mean something! The ones I have ranged in price from £20 to £55 (for my wedding cake charm that I got on the morning of my wedding!), I think the cheapest now is about £23.

They are very comfortable to wear although they are a bit pricey. I would strongly suggest that you go to an approved stockist rather than e-bay. There are so many fakes, and they are so difficult to spot.

I bought a bracelet on ebay which snapped after a couple of months. I bought the charms on ebay -- around £2 each. Luckily I was indoors, so I didnt lose the charms. So I bought a Pandora bracelet (around £50) and use the charms on that. Make sure the charms are compatible for the Pandora bracelet, if the holes in the charms are too narrow, they won't fit the bracelet. Love Links are fine. Pandora say that, if you don't buy Pandora charms and you force the charms onto the bracelet, they cannot guarantee if the bracelet breaks. I wear mine every day, but take it off as soon as i get home. No its not practical but looks good. Just a fad, so don't spend too much on it.
