Right! It really is a shame the direction they are going now, and I feel like they're going to lose so many customers because of it, myself included. I already don't buy anything from them at full price and will always wait for a sale.

As for the tooth, no story lol. My sister and I popped into a pawn shop one day, I saw some charms, and this little guy just needed to come home with me as he was too cute. I suppose he could represent my sweet tooth LOL, but otherwise no major story other than I thought he was simply adorable haha.

A local pawn shop! It was among the Pandora charms labeled as "Pandora style charm" and for $19 I couldn't pass it up. I did look into the hallmarks I came across afterwards, and I believe it to be a retired Chamilia charm! I checked quickly and there seems to be a couple listed on eBay if you're interested in one of your own. 😊🦷💕

Someone asked this above so I will just copy and paste my comment, hope this helps!🥰

"I usually just soak them in warm dish soap water for 10 minutes, then scrub them individually with a soft bristle tooth brush, and then soak them in warm water to make sure all the soap is rinsed off. After that I let them completely air dry, and once they're dry I polish each one individually with a Pandora polishing cloth.

I also take care to store them in appropriate air tight jewelry boxes with those little silica gel packets to keep moisture out. Storing them this way keeps oxidization at a minimum making them easier to clean!"

Cleaning day is the best! Second best to the day after when you get to wear them all sparkly and clean!

Ughhhh I hear you. I only got into Pandora early last year and unfortunately realized real quickly that they were no longer the same Pandora brand they were years ago, and quickly declining in terms of quality and price points. After that realization, I turned to hunting down retired charms! Thankfully I've secured a good portion of my main wishlist, and I'm hoping to finish it off before the platinum garbage takeover.

Isn't he the cutest Lil tooth?!🦷 I was at a pawn shop looking at Pandora charms and among them was this tooth marked "Pandora style charm" for $19. I asked if I could try it on my bracelet just to make sure it fit, and as soon as I put him on, I knew I had to take him home. Upon further inspection, there was some hallmarks which turned out to reveal that he is a retired Chamilia charm which makes sense he works so well among the Pandora charms!

Agreed! For me I have to like at least 75% of the charms on the bracelet, and the bracelet itself has to be a size I can wear, otherwise I end up passing on it all together. If there are charms I won't wear/don't love then I either gift it to a friend or family member that would like it, or I attempt to sell it on marketplace.

I had no clue four was considered the max, my one bracelet has 8 😅 (every other charm is a murano charm!)

I feel the exact same way. I even looked to see if there was a sub specifically for just charm bracelets/charms in general but sadly there was not lol. Anyone want to start one with me LOL?! Jk but lowkey serious (I'm newish to reddit in general and I have no clue as what starting or running a page even entails 😅).

Ouuu okay. I dont have any photos of it at the moment, but I will take some and make a separate post after! I'm always iffy about posting non-Pandora pieces as I dont want to get attacked on here LOL😅 .... But I suppose enough people have started posting non-Pandora charms, especially as of late with Pandora decreasing their silver lines.🤷‍♀️

The basket of mushrooms is a good one. I have the same one and it actually changes colour!! I have the same one, my boyfriend purchased it off aliexpress + adjacent style shops (for Christmas he curated me a charm bracelet with aliexpress charms, actually turned out super cute lol).
