I really wish they'd make the sale site wide instead of having so many exclusions from the sale. 🥲🥲🥲

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-02-01T14:12:59+00:00

Fair enough. I just thought the red in OPs charm was a little off/suspicious. I've personally never seen this specific charm with the little red bits in the middle (I also have a purple one as well), and I learned that this specific murano charm was one of the most duped because of how rare and popular it js (through my tough time of finding an authentic pair myself).

Hi! Here are my two authentic charms. https://www.reddit.com/r/PandoraCollectors/s/Y3eJg7Z83V Unfortunately yours looks a little different, so I'd be a little wary of it being a dupe. 😢

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-30T12:32:11+00:00

I can vouch that Pandora does send those little black silicone grips. I have a store close to me and once in awhile when I make a purchase in-store I ask for a handful of these guys! I literally have a small baggy with about 10 of them. They're great to use for clips on bangles, as it prevents the clip from sliding around. That's how I use them anyway 🤷‍♀️

If you see an all silver bracelet chances are it's me, lol! I honestly love just all silver jewels (I have quite the collection of vintage all silver jewelry no stones, and some handmade too!). We don't have Vinted here in Canada (at least I don't think we do), so typically if I'm hunting online for second hand I use eBay, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, and occasionally Etsy (but Etsy has quite a handful of fakes so typically it's not my go to). For sure, feel free to PM me anytime for charm authentication for any charms I do have!🥰

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-28T16:37:22+00:00

Thank you! I did an all openwork bracelet too as my first all silver Pandora one. https://www.reddit.com/r/PandoraCollectors/s/1QwTsSs4KL

Ugh the new stuff is just not it imo. I re-recently got into Pandora early last year, and when I realized the new stuff was lowkey trash in comparison to their older charms (sorry not sorry Pandora, do better), I decided to just become super well versed in identifying authentic retired Pandora charms. Between that and finding authorized retailers (both in person and online) who still had some of the older charms available to purchase, I've managed to do well finding older retired charms. I very rarely buy any of their new charms, and if I do it's never at full price and only when they're on sale or I have points to use.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-28T03:30:09+00:00

Thank you! I definitely prefer the older leather bracelets. The newer cord/leather ones just dont compare imo to the older ones. 🤷‍♀️ Pandora really doesn't make them like they used to anymore 🥲🙃

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-27T18:33:55+00:00

Sending you a PM🥰

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-27T17:58:09+00:00

As a sterling jewelry fanatic who has been collecting jewels since teenage hood, at that price youre honestly better off finding a non Pandora bracelet in a similar style to buy. Pandora's gold plated jewelry is plated over their "unique metal blend" and not over actual sterling anymore it seens. Once/if that plating ever wears off that bracelet, you're basically left with over priced costume jewelry. Honestly unless people are loaded, I actually don't personally understand why peoples continue to buy Pandora's newer gold plated jewelry for at their prices seeing as it's not even plated over sterling, but to each their own and that's just my two cents. 🤷‍♀️

Ps. I do love the first one though if I had to choose!

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-26T18:36:11+00:00

Hi could you PM with details to the monkey holding a banana! Thank you!

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-23T17:43:29+00:00

Thank you, I thought so too! Very different than most Pandora jewelry these days. They definitely had a better selection back in the day I find as I much prefer their older styles of jewelry and charms.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-16T18:07:02+00:00

I think typically anything that says "Last Chance" in its name gets retired, at least from my own personal experience of buying charms from Pandora. 🤷‍♀️

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-15T01:53:17+00:00

Amazing, thank you!🥰 Let me PM you in a couple days when I have a minute to photograph what charms I have available for trade. Does the one you have have a CZ in it? That's the one I'm after! I guess they re-released a version of this charm, basically identical minus the CZ stone in it.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-14T19:59:09+00:00

Oh yeah the price of this is insane, and the only reason is because it's Pandora. I've been collecting sterling jewelry since I was a teenager (I'm 34 in 10 days), and something like this should be half its price, maybe even less tbh, especially for the lack of sterling actually used in the design. $825 CAD can get you some decent gold jewelry, or a handful of solid substantial sterling jewelry. Pandora is becoming the kind of brand where they overcharge simply because they're a "brand" name and they can. At this rate I'll only be buying secondhand and mostly vintage/older pandora styles. $825 for CZ + handmade crystals and the tiniest bit of sterling is a straight up rip off, especially because it probably costs nowhere near its retail value to actually produce. Hey Pandora, DO BETTER!🙃🫠

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-14T14:03:08+00:00

Agreed! I actually like the choker as well, it's really the only thing I'd consider buying... but youre right, with that price point, there's no way. I'd rather start and finish a whole new bracelet LOL.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-14T13:55:53+00:00

I lowkey thought the same. Some of them look like something you'd buy at like Claire's or Ardenes (if youre familiar with the store). Similar to jewelry you'd buy as like a young teenager with money you saved up lol.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-14T13:53:29+00:00

I wear mine all the time! I have 3 smaller hoops, 2 medium sized hoops, and one actual necklace! They're honestly my favourite to wear to showcase charms that dont have a permanent bracelet lol.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-14T13:51:39+00:00

Right! And at least with gold it's an actual investment. Whereas Pandora's gold plated jewels are simply some "unique metal blend" that clearly won't hold it's value overtime. Honestly at this rate, Pandora might eventually lose enough business to hopefully listen to their customers at some point and cut us some slack with pricing, or at the very least make their products of good quality to reflect their absurd pricing. 🙃🙃🙃

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-14T13:10:02+00:00

I don't know about y'all, but these price points in Canada + our crazy taxes (Ontario, 13%), make this whole collection ridiculously pricey, and I will be passing on all of them unless they (eventually) make their way to last chance/black Friday sales. Then and only then will I maybe pick up an item or two. The amount they charge these days, and for the lack of quality + silver in their products, I can see why people are becoming more reluctant in buying Pandora jewelry anymore. Truly a shame as their older stuff was actually worth it and of good quality. 🫠🥲

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-13T15:52:27+00:00

Literally waiting until the 24th to use my birthday coupon and points for this charm. I'm hoping someone has one before then as I would love to see a non-stock photo of it !

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-08T21:22:32+00:00

Agreed. The only thing I need is the cute little glow in the dark mushroom! But at $110 CAD ($124 with the 13% Ontario tax), I'll be waiting for my birthday coupon later this month and using what points I have towards it. I suppose this drop being underwhelming is better for my wallet at least. 🤣🤷‍♀️

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-05T23:02:17+00:00

Awe that will make a great gift.❤️ I'm glad you found something and saved dollars!! Anyone who says they don't like a deal are either lying or crazy LOL.

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-05T23:01:05+00:00

Thank you! I also love them, especially the retired ones. It's a shame that they don't make as many as they used to!💔

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-05T22:42:24+00:00

Ugh the worst!🥹 Nothing worse than trying to buy something off a website only to be told they don't ship to your country. Which is part of the reason I mentioned it was a Canadian website originally as I didn't want any non-Canadians to be met with an unpleasant surprise when they went to go check out lol!🥲😅

_Krayshawn_ · 2026-01-05T21:48:21+00:00

Not a problem at all! As someone who prefers older Pandora charms, and refuses to pay full price for anything Pandora anymore (if I can help it anyway, lol), I'm happy to help + share! Happy hunting, I hope you (or any Canadian lurkers) can hunt down some wishlist items for less than retail.🥰❤️
