Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I like them =] my sister has had one for a few years and has got a few beads on there, though not loads like some people have. All her beads have a meaning behind them so its more than just a bracelet with a few nice charms on to her.

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I actually really like them. If it's somethng you'll wear regularly then the price is totally justified and people can get you new charms on your birthday or whatever
I would get one if i had the money! -

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I've got one and I really like it. I'll admit they are expensive but, like others have said, if you wear it often then it becomes worth it and I think they're nicer than general charm bracelets. Once you've got quite a few charms they look nicer than they do with only 3/4 though.

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I have a replica tiffany necklace too that I'm wearing now. Bought it for £25 and has cubic zirconia stones. Btw the real ones (with diamonds and platinum or 18ct gold are muuccch more than £100). Try adding a zero to that and some.(Original post by Jessikar)
Um... you could get a replica off Ebay? It would save money and still serve its purpose at 1/4 of the price or more even.
I have a replica Tiffany necklace and although i know it's fake, i would never spend £100+ on a real one. People think it's real
I do feel good when people compliment me on it though. The only thing is people can tell more easily if your pandora bracelet is fake.

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?My sister has one and she gets compliments off it everyday. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure she likes it. They're pretty popular.(Original post by Maturity)
I bought my gf one and she seemed to like it, now I am not so sure.

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I don't really think they're anything special, they charge wayyyy too much for little beads that are worth next to nothing, and like someone else has said you can buy similiar things for a few euros on holiday.
They are pretty, but not pretty enough to be worth the money in my opinion. -

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?Definitely worth the price. You can tell a fake copy version. The pandora beads are all handcrafted and are beautiful. TO the person saying they're dull, have you actually seen one?! You can buy loads of bright coloured beads... I've had one for 4 years now and i love mine. I get random people commenting on it when i'm out, and often people who have pandora braceletes will say 'wow. is that a pandora bracelet?' So it's a conversational piece!
Agreed it's not cheap, but it will last forever and you can get family to buy you new beads for bday and xmas (i do)

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?You buy the beads separately and thread them on the bracelet. I think I added a link (link 2) to the first bead I would buy if I decide to get one.(Original post by Jennie1987)
But the first one has no beads on.. -

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I really lke this type of bracelet. I had a trollbead one for my 18th birthday and have gradually added to it as time goes on. I have a mixture of the silver and coloured glass beads; which is more interesting than just silver. You can make them pretty unique too; there's a million combinations!

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?I like the idea of that style of charm bracelet. They can be more practical that a traditional charm bracelet that can often get caught on things although I think traditional charm bracelets look a lot nicer & there are lovely vintage charms around. I find a lot of the charms for pandora bracelets can look cheap but there are some nice ones as well.

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?Again I said the point I was responding to was someone said the Next version is more expensive so go for the £55 Pandora one and I mean the Next on is more expensive than a beadless Pandora bracelet but cheaper than one with the same amount of beads.(Original post by SweetsAndSugar)

Re: Pandora bracelets - worth the money or look elsewhere?Real Tiffany charms with precious stones and metals are obviously going to be expensive, but not all of them are.(Original post by SweetsAndSugar)

I have a Tiffany bracelet that you can hook charms onto, and the cheapest ones are about £50-£65 each. Baring in mind the point isn't for you to fill it up mega quickly, but for someone to buy one for you as a present. I got a butterfly charm for my birthday and my boyfriend bought me a cupcake charm for christmas (that admittedly was about £100).
But I love how I can buy other charms like Vivienne Westwood ones, or I can wear the bracelet without any charms, or use the Tiffany charms as pendants on necklaces too.
