The craftsmanship of the overworked workers in Thailand who mass produce these items ...? The production cost for the company is probaly only about 10 bucks if even. If you want craftsmanship go to a Goldsmith.
Artistry of the silver work. Im not buying for a gold. Dont reply sarcasm.. Whichever way it is, I appreciate and see beauty in the Thai people's handcraft works. Thats why im buying it.
Unfortunately there are a bunch of scam sites out there selling counterfeit pieces. If you can buy the bracelets for $19.00 and charms for $10.00....they are definitely fake.
0:28 *looks at my bracelets…..* . Yeah none of my bracelets are memory tied charms. I like how I can build different themed bracelets. I have a bracelet based off of my favorite commercial. It’s not the memory I’m attached too, it’s the things in the commercial. *fav commercial is the Clorox Pirates commercial*. I have a charm to represent everything in that commercial. A horse charm, a boat charm, a fish charm, a field of flowers charm, a treasure chest to represent the pirates. That’s why I love Pandora. It’s the freedom to create!
When I first started collecting in 2007 the prices were very affordable and the quality was so good. Over the years the prices soared and the quality cheapened (in my opinion) so I'm very selective in what I purchase now. I still like it but the older pieces are where Pandora shined.
I used to collect Tiffany and co charms, they would have some in certain states you couldn't get anywhere else. Add them to my bracelet and tell a story. But they took that away (not to mention jumped the price through the roof) I got my first Pandora in 2013 but specifically These past 3-4 years I have been focusing on Pandora charms for each milestone I go through. Love it.
Less than a month I filled the whole bracelet. It was $1000… I was making Paracord bracelets and my fiancé told me that they looked tacky and he wants me to look for a bracelet that is not tacky so I’ve decided to take a peek up Pandora because I liked the thought of Pandora. I thought it was just too expensive but I ended up buying it. Lol
I had like 7 bracelets filled and sold them, this was back in 2014. I have some real gold and silver stackable rings from about 14 years ago. The quality is just not there anymore. The best pieces were from the 2000s and the prices were cheaper and 🎉quality was good.
I appreciate your insight on the product (my husband just got me one) but like charm bracelets have always been around so the whole concept seems unoriginal to me. Maybe the difference from a plain old charm bracelet is the matching aspect? Because I know my chain old charm bracelet from the 90’s was a mishmash of different charms whereas a pandora theyll all match? 🤷🏻♀️
Hi new sub i have been getting pandora since 2013 till now have 4 snake bracelets with 3 having about roughly 150 charms or so started my new one this Mother’s Day i love 💗 pandora y since before pandora became a thing u would buy charms that had a bad link and u would slowly loose 1-2 a day all the ones i got from my daughter of those gone since pandora think maybe 4 max broken, ill get for Mother’s Day Valentines my wedding anniversary my birthday and also my anniversary on my birthday so i have many a lot i will choose myself cos I know what i want then hubby and our daughter will pick,having been getting them since we stayed in Australia now in Malaysia its a good investment and u have something to hand down to ur daughter when ur time comes. No with all the charms and snakes they not heavy at all have a huge range rings 17 pandora rings my wedding and engagement rings r from a expensive jewelry store first 3 wedding set was gold turned out im allergic to nickel so after many years of been engaged he said i can go pick out just what I want no limits so after 4 hours i found just what i was looking for now keep in mind i never wore jewelry then i found the ring turned out to be platinum and white gold with a claw diamond didn’t check the price he didn’t as well then u need a wedding ring ok another 2 hours find the best one that matched but not platinum just white gold and diamonds they not big then he asked to help find him one so his is gold with Titanium two tone looks good but his face after when they rung it up i just got this look and Man U have expensive taste and he did happen to work for a platinum mine i was just blame ur job. I’ve had him Propose seven times because I love the number seven im strange i had a guardian Angel with me the one day we had got into a fight while driving and my window was wide open i threw the ring and this is on a highway with tall grass on each side somehow it didn’t go out the window I would have cried took us 15 years of carrying the wedding rings with us when we moved every year would be like we need to plan the wedding it took till my daughter was 7 years old to finally do it. So to Sum it up pandora is the best gift u can give any woman, my daughter has her own collection of pandora, i dont walk out until i have at least 8 or more have rings chains earrings snakes charms and with my daughter picking what she likes we get 2 gifts now, i can contact my seller who keeps me in the know what she needs to keep for me and she will, there is just one thing i have not been able to buy here is these beautiful angel wing rings they dont sell them here have to try when we move back to Australia soon hope i get them they very beautiful. I call myself a pandora junkie lmao 🤣
These charms came out way before Pandora? These charms are called European Charms and you can purchase them from Amazon, ebay and AliExpress etc, for a lot cheaper and the quality is perfect 👌. They are also real sterling silver and they are half the price of Pandora? Believe me as you don't want to waste your precious money buying Pandora when you can get the same quality even better by purchasing European Charms? I think Pandora is a rip off. I can afford Pandora charms but I don't want to give that company my money for something that I can purchase for half the price. I have been purchasing European Charms way before Pandora started their business. Don't get ripped off. Just go online and look up European Charms in genuine, solid sterling silver and I guarantee that you will be very happy with your purchase 😀
Just purchased the Official Pandora Charm for the country El Salvador. It cost $120 US Dollars for a heart shaped charm with the flag of El Salvador painted into the shape of the heart. 🤷🏻♂️ Personally I think the price is ridiculous for a single charm but I got it because it’s only sold by Pandora in El Salvador. Buying it there from the 1 of 2 only official Pandora store in the country was the only way I could be sure it was authentic Pandora.
Which brand should I do next?
Swarovski
Chamilia
Thomas Sabo, is soo pretty
Fabergé ? 😅
Pandora collector here since 2013! I pay not for the silver, but for the craftsmanship! 😊

Not many Goldsmith can do what they do in Thailand

I hope your Pandora bracelet is full with charms! :)

I never thought about charms being a collector item. Nice video

Totally! Thank you for watching!

Can’t recommend it … :D

Hi Angel! That's an impressive Pandora background you displayed here, thank you for sharing! Glad you didn't throw the ring out of the window though 😅

The have Pandora here in Melbourne Bourke St.the are nice the jewellery
I use a plastic bread tab to open my Pandora bracelet. It's affordable and replaceable.

I use my husband plastic guitar pick 😝
Update got more
Nice! What did you get?
I buy my jewellery in Bevilles. In Elizabeth St. Melbourne
Charms are a bit dinky.
How did I find myself here ? Have to say I really think pandora is a big waste of money plus it looks so cheap
