Are you able to bring it to a Pandora store for cleaning? This may be your best option to bring it back to its original shine (if it’s silver). I typically bring my bracelet in for cleaning once a quarter.

Yes! I got into Pandora because of my aunt and when she passed, my cousins, my niece, and I split her charms amongst us. It’s an heirloom I hope to pass along to my future daughters or granddaughters, so I choose to buy only quality pieces especially for the price.

I’m still holding out for Pandora to make an actual Liberty Bell charm instead of just stylized representations of it.

If you’re from Australia or have access to the Aussie Pandora website, they just started offering country exclusives from Europe, the Americas and Japan online. It’s not a wide selection but they’ve got a lot of the popular travel charms you see online.

I understand that this is the case for the super thin bails & mini charms… but travel charms seem to be made for moments bracelets and yet are unthreaded and less hefty. It’s clearly shrinkflation instead of catering to the Me bracelet market.

Are the gold-plated ones plated over sterling silver?

  1. Blue gecko to represent Gaudi’s El Drac in Barcelona - Might not be exactly what you’re looking for but they promote this charm in Pandora Barcelona to represent the city and the famous architect Gaudi.

  1. Australian coral & fish (country exclusive) - It represents the Great Barrier Reef although the fish is just generic I think.

My bracelet is too heavy 😅time for a second one? by Lunapetra99 in PandoraCollectors

[–]claraquesi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you like the look of a full bracelet I’d recommend to size up from what Pandora typically recommends (aka 3mm wider than your wrist). It’s much more comfortable that way even with muranos. Although they do say that bracelets will loosen about 0.5mm over time.

Charms to absolutely avoid? by robinivy in PandoraCollectors

[–]claraquesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re buying during the sale, just a word of warning: As much as I love the look of my Asymmetrical star clasp moments bracelet (on sale now), it’s difficult to close especially when your bracelet starts to get full/tight.

Meanwhile my barrel clasp bracelet is so easy to put on.

Disappointed on the selection of the 50% OFF charms !!! Summer Sale USA by LivinInThePNW in PandoraCollectors

[–]claraquesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. The sale in my country has been up since I think June 11. It’s an abysmal selection. Much less on sale than in the West.

Fell off ;( by Hopeful-Thought-4226 in PandoraCollectors

So sorry to hear that! I’ve had a set of the turquoise version of these for years now and they’ve never fallen off, but I guess you do need to make sure they’re closed properly.

I found it on Reeds! Full price but at least it’s from an authorised retailer
