I'm gonna say this as a pandora owner I know it's so popular everyone fills their bracelets up I don't like them full too heavy and puts pressure on the chain to wear I prefer filled only half way which is gonna save a lot of excess stretching of the material that pandora doesn't tell you Second I only place a dangle charm at the front of the bracelet only I didn't care for them all around the bracelet when all they want to do is kink Third of all I know about the plastic bag because I been a silver collector for years 😊 hope this helps anyone that doesn't know much
Thank you for this video…just got my first Pandora bracelet and I know nothing about collecting! We bought it while in Greece and I have my first Greece charm!!
I’ve had my Pandora Bracelet for 3 years now & I only clean my Pandora with the Pandora Polishing Cloth. I used to clean my Pandora Bracelet & Charms with an old tooth brush & dish washing soap which was working fine for me until I once scrubbed too hard & actually removed some of the engraving on the back of my charm. 😭 Now I know why the Pandora Cleaning Kit is so necessary.
This does not bore Pandora veterans! I always love watching the Pandora tips and tricks of other fellow collectors because you never know if you’ll learn something new!
As a pandora manager, it Takes a lot more than product knowledge. From services, targets, business kpis to following legal guidelines and procedures. 💚
I have 3 pandora silver bracelets & about 50 plus charms. And, I’ve always cleaned them with regular jewelry cleaner that I usually pick up at Walmart or target and it works out great for me. Great video!
I really needed this! Thanks so much! I got my first pandora bracelet on Christmas from my mom and I’m so excited to add more charms but didn’t really know how to start off and this video really helped! 👍
Great video. I’ve been collecting for 7 years but still like to see how other collectors care for their pandora . Learnt a few new things I didn’t know as well.
I just now found this video because I've just now decided to delve in to Pandora. I have avoided them for years and then we got a store here where I live at in Indiana few years ago. I'm so happy you've got this video up I'm looking to see if you have any more updated videos thank you so much for this information.
The baking soda and boiling water works wonders!!! I was shocked to see all the dirt come off in the water, how smelly the water became, and how new and shiny my pieces were afterwards.
I've been buying non-Pandora sterling silver beads for the bracelet because Pandora is so expensive. The knock-off beads are working out well for me and they gave the same quality as Pandora ones even with wear and tear. If you are interested in looking into buying cheaper options lmk. I don't want to take away business but if ppl can't afford them I can tell you where to get the cheaper sterling silver beads.
Even though I own my bracelet for a while and thought I care for it properly, I've learned that I'm not a 100% correct. Especially when it comes to storing my jewellery. Thanks for covering that!
I just received my first bracelet today, from my daughter for Mother's day. It's pretty exciting and I love it. I'm 50 years old and it makes me feel like a little girl. 🤗❤
I just got my first Pandora bracelet today Dec 26 19 I'm in love. I got for Christmas from my mom. Can wait to buy more charms and the glass ones too. Lol
I just ordered an original bangle and I’m so excited! I have a few pieces. I have about 6 charms, the double leather wrap bracelet, the snake chain necklace (with the round clasp) and now the bangle (which is on its way!!). So I’m slowly on my way to having a nice collection. My husband is going to help me add charms and other pieces. 😁 I love pandora! P. S. The ziploc bag is a great idea!!
I have a pure gold 18K gold necklace. It’s not pandora one but I shower with it, sweat w it, as in everyday thing it never oxidize but I’m not sure with rose gold Pandora that’s why I’m here cause I’m the type of person that doesn’t remove necklace once I wear it. I just can’t do the hassle of putting them back and remove it 😑
@@EbruEvermore the more I wear my sterling silver the less it is oxidized. I wear it to shower and it comes out sparkly. I hate removing my jewelry for everyday wear. I wouldn’t get it around chemicals though. I want to try the Pandora Rose too!
I have jet to purchase a Pandora Bracelet. I thought it better to research it to understand and appreciate it more. I believe I came to the right place. I have had an injury to my right arm and wrist you have covered and educated me so so much . You really are a wonderful person. I had No Idea how great it will be to purchase PANDORA. BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU.
I started collecting at age 40. Now cruising into 50 and still loving Pandora. I do agree the silver tends to get heavy. I started with bangle 40 theme and disney theme. Gonna treat my self to snake bracelet and start my 50 bracelet. Thank you for sharing!!. I dont trust the pandora reps though. They ruined one of my wood murano beads when I first started and I didnt want to make a fuss
I so appreciate your videos. You talked me OUT of getting a Pandora bracelet. I had my eye on a beautiful bracelet that had charms already on it on Mercari. I was looking for an all the time bracelet that I wouldnt remove. By listening to your knowledge I was swayed against it. Thanks for saving me money! I would of hated to of spent the money, only to of destroyed it in no time flat.
A solid 14 karat gold Pandira will not tarnish. You can wear it everyday, and only buy real gold charms. Do not buy gold-plated or rose gold Pandora. They are not real gold.
@@sandraatkins2539 so you suggest getting the solid 14k gold vs the gold plated? i’m new to this & want to make sure my investment in finally gifting myself with jewelry actually is worth it and that i’m not making a mistake 😅
Had my bracelet for 4 years and I store it in the original box it came in. I clean it once a month with a silver polishing cloth I purchase from target . And it looks as good as new.
Very informative, especially for braclet ppl like myself, got my first one... late grad gift,,, and I enjoy learning about care style, upkeep etc.💕🌼👍🏼🌺
@@ItsMyLifeDaralynn how long did it take to tarnish yours? I take mine off when I shower but I keep it on when I wash my hands (Pandora employee told me it was ok to wash hands with)
Hi, my question is how long will my new snake chain moments bracelet take to become flexible? It's very stiff and I only have a few charms on it. I'm hoping with every day wear it will loosen up pretty soon. Thanks in advance. :)
I have 3 full Pandora bracelets and another with 3 charms so far. I wear them all the time. I have had my bracelets since 2008. With all the money invested in them, why keep them hidden away?
Oh for your daughter, they have a new style of Pandora bracelet that is completely adjustable. It's a regular Pandora chain with two different chain connected to it. To adjust it, you move a bead up and down the two chains. You aren't able to put on as many beads, but the bracelet should be able to fit her wrist, and it will also grow with her! Edit: it's called the sliding bracelet!
Hey, ab the humidity problem, I only have the Pandora gift box and I am travelling to Cairns (it’s REALLY humid) for 2 weeks... do you have any ways to avoid my bracelet tarnishing???
This was jam packed with helpful info and I love it! Definitely learned a lot. I didn't know that it would oxidize in the box! I've been keeping it in the box on my desk with the lid open, I didn't realize it would oxidize faster that way! Will defs look into those anti-tarnish bags. P. S. Thanks so much for answering my question about the cases!
Anti tarnish pouches? Who knew? I’m always learning something from you! Another great video from you! And I have to say, for anyone who may be reading this and wondering. I am a huge Stackers jewelry box fan. I purchased my box a few years ago when I inherited quite a bit of jewelry from my Aunt. I’m actually wanting to purchase another exclusively for my Pandora bracelets and charms. Linda
Life changing! I love them!! And such a good price! I am new to stackers. People always ask where I get my charm bars and I can never find them anywhere. Was excited to see amazon had them!
Great video Nicole! The only other thing I'm very protective of besides the pearls are my Pandora pieces with opals. I treat them both the same. The opals are very fragile. I do think the real opals were mostly in the older Pandora items. Especially like the pink opals. I always learn from you and others. You are so informative.
Thanks for this. I now have two Pandora bracelets. One I purchased two years and the other one was purchased earlier this month. I love both of them but am very I am very disappointed in the charm selections that are available. However, your video has helped me. Thank you for being so knowledgeable about the bracelets and thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for the information, 2 days with my bracelet and already made a few mistakes 😅😅 I just have one more question, is it normal for new bracelets that the clasp is hard to close? I saw you only apply a small amount of pressure 😔
omar davalos shouldn’t be too hard but you wanna make sure the other end is perfectly centered ... sometimes It’s a little tricky if it’s not places correctly
omar davalos it depends. I’ve gotten a clip from the Pandora Estore that is a pain to open and others that take little effort. There is always a slight difference in products and it’s all about personal preference. If you want a looser clasp, try taking it back to the store and seeing if they’ll exchange it out. I personally like the bracelets to have a tighter clasp so it decreases the risk of it opening randomly throughout the day (my looser clasp bracelet does it a lot so I have to wear a safety chain). Hope that helps!
me too, i just got my bracelet and when i was trying it in the store, the person who put it on me put it on with little force but when i try and do it i have to put so much force, i dont know if this is just because its my first bracelet or because i somehow damaged it
This video was such a relief to find. Today I watched some horrific Pandora cleaning videos that just made me cringe. Dropping a bracelet into a pot of boiling water on the stove, letting it boil & then dropping it in cold water - NO. Some people were very rough with their bracelets, using toothbrushes, aluminium foil, salt etc and rubbing hard - another NO. In fact one of the video presenters wasn't worried about scratches on the charms & said it was normal. Okay, but even as someone who has been guilty of sleeping & showering with bracelets on, they do not look scratched and beaten up. I keep all my bracelets in the velvet Pandora pouches that my local jeweller uses when I buy a charm. None of my bracelets have tarnished and I have been collecting for about 8 years. I am lucky to have skin that keeps silver from tarnishing - in fact my mother once gave me a bracelet (not Pandora) to wear because it had gone black on her wrist. Within a week it was sparkly again. I think it has to do with the amount of salt in your sweat - Mum a lot, me not so much.
Hi you have the biggest collection of pandora I've ever seen its awesome you really know allot about it which is good I've learnt heaps off you so thanks 😇😇😇
This is the best video! Thank you so much! I never realized in the cleaning kit that those pouches were for the jewelry. When I get home going to put my pandora rose in that pouch. I never realized those little pouches they use to give were so they don't tarnish. I have a bunch of them. Now going to look for the rest. You are the best!
So helpful! Thank you. I just started like 2 months ago, yes I have a problem lol , and have been storing in the box.... totally have to change that now . Thanks!
Just started my Pandora items within the last 2 weeks. I have a moments bracelet. A bangle and 4 charms. I ordered 6 charms from Pandora website and 5 charms from ebay. And I'm waiting for lady to deliver a bracelet and 4 charms I found on marketplace here in town bracket a charms 40.00. I'm hooked!
Love tips and tricks videos even if I’m not a newbie 😋 I have learned one thing here though that I didn’t think about yet - I started with not filled too much with charms bracelets, now I love filled to the max bracelets. It’s okay to fill them but like you pointed out as long as they have a tiny bit of room to at least flip over or wiggle, umm I need to look at that as I have one bracelet that is still so stiff from being new that I put the normal amount of charms on in the middle section that I do with my flexible bracelets that probably has stretched a little bit already and can work with that amount. I don’t want to damage my new bracelet so that I’m quickly going to adjust after watching this video! 😊 I use normal ziplock bags I get from the Pandora stores to put my bracelets and bangles in and put them in my Pandora jewelry boxes. My Stackers box I find I don’t need to use the bags as the lidded tray closes very tightly and is air tight I’m assuming, versus the Pandora boxes which don’t close as tightly and in there my silvers tarnish very quickly. I want more Stackers trays but they won’t have lids so there I will use baggies again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is ultimately everyone’s own preferences, so I also tell people here’s what I’ve found to work for me in my lifestyle, where I stay, using my storage system, use the information or don’t use it. Aaaawww cute! Presley circling her catalogue for her bday wishlist! ❤️❤️ Have a fantastic weekend! Love and hugs 🤗😘💝 xo
I’m so glad you got something out of this video! I’m having a hard time fitting everything with the charms coming in bigger and bigger. I ended up getting a couple more 19s to account for that when most of my bracelets are 18. The store never gives me the plastic bag! I wonder why? Hmmmm Yes totally everyone’s preference. I also notice my bracelets don’t oxidize as fast now that I live in a drier climate. Ohhhh she was so upset thinking no one was going to know she wanted charms because it wasn’t on her toy list she made LOL
oh yeah i've heard of the toothpaste and backing soda trick, i've heard it works very well, but then i did more research and heard it can actually create small microscopic pitting on the jewelry!!
and your video is still relevant to this date. I just got my first bracelet, it's a moments one. so, question. you said you don't put the rose gold on anti tarnishing baggies, will that apply to mine which is gold plated? , can you please explain why no put them on those baggie or small ziplock baggies?
Is there any way to make a Rembrandt charm work on a Pandora bracelet? I bought my wife a few Rembrandts before doing my research and she has a Pandora Bracelet.
Hi, I’m a newbie. I was wondering if you could remove charms and put them on another bracelet, or if you should just keep them on that bracelet. This video helped a lot!
for any one out there in jewelry land your jewelry should be the last thing to put on when going out and the first thing to take off when you come back xxxx
Great video! I'm currently storing my bracelets in the boxes they came in (with anti-tarnish strips) because my regular jewelry box is too full, however, I'll be buying these strips ASAP. I just never knew where to purchase them. Also, another Pandora lover on YT suggested an all natural and safe jewelry cleaner (Sparkle Bright) that has worked beautifully for me so far. I'm actually afraid of some dishwashing liquids so I use the more gentle ones (and clear) as well. I'm with you on not using baking soda. Seems like it would scratch the jewelry to me. What is your opinion on immersing Muranos in water? I've never read anything about it on Pandora's website, however, some owners are all for it and some aren't. I've heard of some saying that water can get inside the Muranos that doesn't ever evaporate. So far, I haven't immersed my Muranos.
I feel really lucky that I work in a lab, and we have a really good ultrasonicator bath that I use to clean my pandora charm bracelet. It’s the same kind of sonicator bath they use at the jewelry store. I bought a really used pandora snake chain bracelet that was all oxidized and bent up, so it needed a lot of polishing, and it still is a little black on the edges, but I put the whole bracelet in hot soapy water, in a beaker and then put that in the sonicator for 5 minutes, when I take out the beaker, I can see the black tarnish floating above the bracelet. I am afraid of czs coming loose, so I also put a paper towel in the bottom of the beaker to keep the bracelet from rattling on the glass beaker, I do the same thing with my wedding ring, which has a diamond warranty lol. I have noticed though, when I first started collecting charm jewelry, I bought some stuff on eBay that was supposed to be pandora, but the price was low, not really low, but lower than official pandora, those pieces have czs coming out all over, but the official pandora jewelry haven’t had an issue yet.
Hello! I have wanted a Pandora for years and am finally going to buy one. I was thinking of just starting off with the snake chain and one charm. Do you think that is sufficient? I just don't have tons of money and a long wish list. I don't go many places so I thought I would wait on a safety chain and clips. Think that is okay to build up that way? Thanks!
Hi! If we take care of the Rose bracelets.. they’ll be in good condition for a longer time? (Like, even if I live in the beach and use charms with the bangle bracelet) 😢
I am wondering what your stance is on the durability of Pandora charms and bracelets. I have recently been wanting to get into them but the reviews on the websites can be quite negative in terms of durability. What is your experience with broken charms, bracelets, tarnishing, etc.?
Hi! Great question! When taken are of properly, Pandora holds up really really well! I am so strict with following the rules I’ve been told along the way. I dont sleep with them, I dont shower or workout with them. I never EVER store them in the box they come in. ... If you are weary - i would maybe stay away from Pandora Rose or Shine since those are plated, but the silver is great!
Tarnishing is natural. Not just pandora sterling silver naturally tarnishes and it requires frequent polishing and cleaning. I’ve been buying pandora for 10 years a mixture of old and new pieces and I’ve not once had any issues no stone loss no tarnish no “faulty” items. It’s down to the customer to make sure they clean their items and follow the care guidelines
omg. you have the wheel i can't find anywhere! the blue murano with the stars. i have a galaxy themed necklace, and wishing i started one earlier. :( other than that, i love my jewelry! I take my bracelets to the pandora store to have it "tumbled". after a few minutes, clean and shiney! i just take the time and silver polish cloth. the best sales i find are jewelry stores like Jared's.
Just watch out if u use veet to use on ur legs found out the hard way have 7 rings that’s Pandora and these are not from Pandora but my other favourite place I buy from so one ring is platinum and white gold my engagement ring and the other white gold allergic to gold the nickel in the gold but white gold is fine for me plus I don’t like gold gold. Using the veet once it oxidised my rings lucky I was able to get them right again oops
This is a weird question but I just got my first pandora bracelet and I live in Australia and it’s hot here and I don’t have air conditioning will the heat ruin my bracelet?
Thank you so much it was so helpful watching and learning about Pandora , today 24 /11/2021 my first Pandora just delivered and your video I just watch , so happy on my Pandora my birthday was last month so I treat myself , so happy 👍🏽❤️
I love this video I work for pandora and constantly have customers just flat out not care when I tell them take it off for bed and shower especially getting in a pool !! we just want to help your jewelry last longer its an investment 😭 and also as a manger having to deal with someone returning a 2 yr bracelet because they wore it in the pool filled with chlorine chemicals 🤦🏽♀ or stored jewelry out of a tarnish bag or the worst place in the bathroom lol
Love your videos new to pandora. I bought some anti-tarnish bags but one of my bracelets is leather. Can leather go in the bags or should I take the charms off and just put them in it? Thanks!
I'm a new subbie and have been watching a lot of your videos. I just got my first bangle so you are helping me learn about Pandora. Thank you for such great videos.
Thank you for such a helpful video! I am new to pandora. I have a bangle that is silver and pandora shine. How do I store that? I have an all shine bracelet ordered and not sure how to care for that one either.
My Pretty Charmed Life thank you for your response! I have only had my bracelet 2 weeks but I have been watching your videos and buying pieces. The videos have helped me a lot. I have realized that you don’t just throw a bracelet together. I will look into those jewelry boxes. Thanks again!
A few of my charms on my oldest bracelet look like they’ve “melted”...can’t really explain it, but that’s the best way I can describe it. I still wear and love it. But I’ll def take better care of my newer ones :)
My Pandora Charmed Life not really dented, some of the details kind of smoothed out...and i had a star cz dangle that warped. It’s really weird. But i still love that bracelet

Does it bring back the shine?
I did this and I think I left it in too long cause it corroded some older pieces
I’ve worn my jewelry nonstop for over five years. It still looks amazing and many compliments
Pandora clean for free. I bring all my pandora jewelry 2 or 3 times a year to get clean.
Why so many times? Does your bracelet and charms tarnish

And I have to say, for anyone who may be reading this and wondering. I am a huge Stackers jewelry box fan. I purchased my box a few years ago when I inherited quite a bit of jewelry from my Aunt. I’m actually wanting to purchase another exclusively for my Pandora bracelets and charms.

Life changing! I love them!! And such a good price!
I am new to stackers. People always ask where I get my charm bars and I can never find them anywhere. Was excited to see amazon had them!
I just purchased my first bracelet and two charms 7/10/2020 and I love it. I am addicted.
Yay! That’s so exciting!!!
Thank you I’m new got my first bracelet for my birthday your videos are very helpful and clear thank you ❤
Thank you so much for the guidelines. Really helpful for the new pandora collection like me.
Great video Nicole! The only other thing I'm very protective of besides the pearls are my Pandora pieces with opals. I treat them both the same. The opals are very fragile. I do think the real opals were mostly in the older Pandora items. Especially like the pink opals. I always learn from you and others. You are so informative.
Awwww good call out! I don't have any opals but makes me think I should treat all real gemstones the same. My pink moonstone seems quite soft.
@@MyPandoraCharmedLife if you Google Pandora pink opals. There are quite a few pieces. Thanks Nicole!
I have one opal charm! I absolutely love opal!! It’s my favorite stone of all time!
Thanks for this.
I now have two Pandora bracelets. One I purchased two years and the other one was purchased earlier this month. I love both of them but am very I am very disappointed in the charm selections that are available. However, your video has helped me. Thank you for being so knowledgeable about the bracelets and thank you for sharing this with us.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the information, 2 days with my bracelet and already made a few mistakes 😅😅
I just have one more question, is it normal for new bracelets that the clasp is hard to close? I saw you only apply a small amount of pressure 😔
omar davalos shouldn’t be too hard but you wanna make sure the other end is perfectly centered ... sometimes It’s a little tricky if it’s not places correctly
omar davalos it depends. I’ve gotten a clip from the Pandora Estore that is a pain to open and others that take little effort. There is always a slight difference in products and it’s all about personal preference.
If you want a looser clasp, try taking it back to the store and seeing if they’ll exchange it out. I personally like the bracelets to have a tighter clasp so it decreases the risk of it opening randomly throughout the day (my looser clasp bracelet does it a lot so I have to wear a safety chain).
Hope that helps!
@@carlyh6453 thank you I'll try checking on my store if there's something wrong with my bracelet or it's just me
@@MyPandoraCharmedLife thank you probably I just have to practice a little more
me too, i just got my bracelet and when i was trying it in the store, the person who put it on me put it on with little force but when i try and do it i have to put so much force, i dont know if this is just because its my first bracelet or because i somehow damaged it
This video was such a relief to find. Today I watched some horrific Pandora cleaning videos that just made me cringe. Dropping a bracelet into a pot of boiling water on the stove, letting it boil & then dropping it in cold water - NO. Some people were very rough with their bracelets, using toothbrushes, aluminium foil, salt etc and rubbing hard - another NO. In fact one of the video presenters wasn't worried about scratches on the charms & said it was normal. Okay, but even as someone who has been guilty of sleeping & showering with bracelets on, they do not look scratched and beaten up. I keep all my bracelets in the velvet Pandora pouches that my local jeweller uses when I buy a charm. None of my bracelets have tarnished and I have been collecting for about 8 years. I am lucky to have skin that keeps silver from tarnishing - in fact my mother once gave me a bracelet (not Pandora) to wear because it had gone black on her wrist. Within a week it was sparkly again. I think it has to do with the amount of salt in your sweat - Mum a lot, me not so much.
Hi you have the biggest collection of pandora I've ever seen its awesome you really know allot about it which is good I've learnt heaps off you so thanks 😇😇😇
Oh I’m so glad it’s helpful!!
This is the best video! Thank you so much! I never realized in the cleaning kit that those pouches were for the jewelry. When I get home going to put my pandora rose in that pouch. I never realized those little pouches they use to give were so they don't tarnish. I have a bunch of them. Now going to look for the rest. You are the best!
Oooooh yes!!! The pouches were the selling point for me AFTER that cute heart clasp opener.
Nice God bless you u

Pandora newbie!! I bought the leather bracelet. The safety chain feels like a life saver! Thank you 💜
So helpful! Thank you. I just started like 2 months ago, yes I have a problem lol , and have been storing in the box.... totally have to change that now . Thanks!
Hahahaha! A lot of us have a problem :). If you like the box (they are convenient) just make sure you have it in some sort of baggie!
A quick question. Why don't you store your Pandora Rose in the anti tarnish bags?
Just started my Pandora items within the last 2 weeks. I have a moments bracelet. A bangle and 4 charms. I ordered 6 charms from Pandora website and 5 charms from ebay. And I'm waiting for lady to deliver a bracelet and 4 charms I found on marketplace here in town bracket a charms 40.00. I'm hooked!
I just ordered the anti tarnish pouches and can't wait to get them!
Love tips and tricks videos even if I’m not a newbie 😋 I have learned one thing here though that I didn’t think about yet - I started with not filled too much with charms bracelets, now I love filled to the max bracelets. It’s okay to fill them but like you pointed out as long as they have a tiny bit of room to at least flip over or wiggle, umm I need to look at that as I have one bracelet that is still so stiff from being new that I put the normal amount of charms on in the middle section that I do with my flexible bracelets that probably has stretched a little bit already and can work with that amount. I don’t want to damage my new bracelet so that I’m quickly going to adjust after watching this video! 😊
I use normal ziplock bags I get from the Pandora stores to put my bracelets and bangles in and put them in my Pandora jewelry boxes. My Stackers box I find I don’t need to use the bags as the lidded tray closes very tightly and is air tight I’m assuming, versus the Pandora boxes which don’t close as tightly and in there my silvers tarnish very quickly. I want more Stackers trays but they won’t have lids so there I will use baggies again.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is ultimately everyone’s own preferences, so I also tell people here’s what I’ve found to work for me in my lifestyle, where I stay, using my storage system, use the information or don’t use it.
Aaaawww cute! Presley circling her catalogue for her bday wishlist! ❤️❤️
Have a fantastic weekend! Love and hugs 🤗😘💝 xo
I’m so glad you got something out of this video! I’m having a hard time fitting everything with the charms coming in bigger and bigger. I ended up getting a couple more 19s to account for that when most of my bracelets are 18.
The store never gives me the plastic bag! I wonder why? Hmmmm
Yes totally everyone’s preference. I also notice my bracelets don’t oxidize as fast now that I live in a drier climate.
Ohhhh she was so upset thinking no one was going to know she wanted charms because it wasn’t on her toy list she made LOL
oh yeah i've heard of the toothpaste and backing soda trick, i've heard it works very well, but then i did more research and heard it can actually create small microscopic pitting on the jewelry!!
Oooooh that’s good to know!! I didn’t know why it was bad just know it’s often not recommended
On a bangle. Do you wear a safety chain??
Thank you so much for the tips! I’m getting my first Pandora bracelet for my quinceañera and I wanted to make sure to take good care of it 🥰
Yay! Enjoy your bracelet!!
My girl is going to be so happy for Christmas
and your video is still relevant to this date. I just got my first bracelet, it's a moments one. so, question. you said you don't put the rose gold on anti tarnishing baggies, will that apply to mine which is gold plated? , can you please explain why no put them on those baggie or small ziplock baggies?
Gold plated should be fine in the tarnish bags ( I work for Pandora ) we keep them in airtight bags with a tarnish free tag
Is there any way to make a Rembrandt charm work on a Pandora bracelet? I bought my wife a few Rembrandts before doing my research and she has a Pandora Bracelet.
Hi, I’m a newbie. I was wondering if you could remove charms and put them on another bracelet, or if you should just keep them on that bracelet. This video helped a lot!
You can totally move them around! I redesign ALL the time!
Hi Nichol! Can you post a video about the new Valentines Day Collection? They look so beautiful and I would like to see them closely. Love ya!❤️
This was super helpful. I've had a bracelet for about 2 years but want to better at the care of my collection. Thanks a bunch!
You are so very welcome! Thank you for watching!
for any one out there in jewelry land your jewelry should be the last thing to put on when going out and the first thing to take off when you come back xxxx
I share this video to everyone I know who just gotten a Pandora bracelet haha. This is a great beginner video.
Great video! I'm currently storing my bracelets in the boxes they came in (with anti-tarnish strips) because my regular jewelry box is too full, however, I'll be buying these strips ASAP. I just never knew where to purchase them. Also, another Pandora lover on YT suggested an all natural and safe jewelry cleaner (Sparkle Bright) that has worked beautifully for me so far. I'm actually afraid of some dishwashing liquids so I use the more gentle ones (and clear) as well. I'm with you on not using baking soda. Seems like it would scratch the jewelry to me.
What is your opinion on immersing Muranos in water? I've never read anything about it on Pandora's website, however, some owners are all for it and some aren't. I've heard of some saying that water can get inside the Muranos that doesn't ever evaporate. So far, I haven't immersed my Muranos.
Thank you for the helpful information! Just ordered some of those anti-tarnish bags from Amazon! 🙏
I have a bracelet that has 3 sections. How can I open it to put charms on
Thanks a lot!! You're very helpful for new Pandora collector like me ❤❤
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!!
I feel really lucky that I work in a lab, and we have a really good ultrasonicator bath that I use to clean my pandora charm bracelet. It’s the same kind of sonicator bath they use at the jewelry store. I bought a really used pandora snake chain bracelet that was all oxidized and bent up, so it needed a lot of polishing, and it still is a little black on the edges, but I put the whole bracelet in hot soapy water, in a beaker and then put that in the sonicator for 5 minutes, when I take out the beaker, I can see the black tarnish floating above the bracelet. I am afraid of czs coming loose, so I also put a paper towel in the bottom of the beaker to keep the bracelet from rattling on the glass beaker, I do the same thing with my wedding ring, which has a diamond warranty lol. I have noticed though, when I first started collecting charm jewelry, I bought some stuff on eBay that was supposed to be pandora, but the price was low, not really low, but lower than official pandora, those pieces have czs coming out all over, but the official pandora jewelry haven’t had an issue yet.
Ooooh what I would do for a professional jewelry cleaning! You are very very lucky!
Hello. I’ve got a mixed silver silver/rose bangle which bag should it be stored in?
I never received those bag’s my bracelet’s came in small ziplock bag’s from Pandora when I bought them
It’s hit and miss what pandora uses. I wish there was a little consistency
I’m so glad I came across your video . I’m looking to buy my first Pandora bangle bracelet and I’m excited lol 🫶🏼 thank you for the tips and info !.
You are very welcome!!
Great video! Are they hypoallergenic?
I spent $400 on charms today and the clasp on my bracelet came undone. Thank God I also bought a safety chain 😊
Hello! I have wanted a Pandora for years and am finally going to buy one. I was thinking of just starting off with the snake chain and one charm. Do you think that is sufficient? I just don't have tons of money and a long wish list. I don't go many places so I thought I would wait on a safety chain and clips. Think that is okay to build up that way? Thanks!
What would work better on a charm bracelet? Dangle charms , spacer charms. Thank you
Great video!!! Very informative for new and seasoned collectors.
Yay! Good to know! Thank you Nicole!
Hi! If we take care of the Rose bracelets.. they’ll be in good condition for a longer time? (Like, even if I live in the beach and use charms with the bangle bracelet) 😢
Thanks for a great video! How do you know if a charm is retiring
Your stores will have last call trays. Ask them to see that. Also. My Xpressions.net has a section on her blog that is dedicated to what is retiring
What size bracelet are you wearing
Great video thanks !!! I am new to Pandora yay! 🙏🏽
I am wondering what your stance is on the durability of Pandora charms and bracelets. I have recently been wanting to get into them but the reviews on the websites can be quite negative in terms of durability. What is your experience with broken charms, bracelets, tarnishing, etc.?
Hi! Great question! When taken are of properly, Pandora holds up really really well! I am so strict with following the rules I’ve been told along the way. I dont sleep with them, I dont shower or workout with them. I never EVER store them in the box they come in. ... If you are weary - i would maybe stay away from Pandora Rose or Shine since those are plated, but the silver is great!
Tarnishing is natural. Not just pandora sterling silver naturally tarnishes and it requires frequent polishing and cleaning. I’ve been buying pandora for 10 years a mixture of old and new pieces and I’ve not once had any issues no stone loss no tarnish no “faulty” items. It’s down to the customer to make sure they clean their items and follow the care guidelines
Thank you I've just ordered the bags!
omg. you have the wheel i can't find anywhere! the blue murano with the stars. i have a galaxy themed necklace, and wishing i started one earlier. :( other than that, i love my jewelry!
I take my bracelets to the pandora store to have it "tumbled". after a few minutes, clean and shiney! i just take the time and silver polish cloth. the best sales i find are jewelry stores like Jared's.
Awesome video!! I love your instagram...I would like to see you giving some tips about Pandora for Men designs!
Oh my gosh!!! That would be SO fun!! I’m gonna have to think of this one. Do you follow fashionstoryteller? Her husband has one and they made a video!
My Pandora Charmed Life Yes, I watched her husband video! But your style is unique and I would like to see what can you create for men! ❤️
David Ramirez you got it!! I’ll work on it 😊. Great suggestion!
I’m planning to get for my birthday so im excited!
That IS exciting!!!!!
great video, super informative! I would like to know how to take care of Pandora rings, for example, can they get wet? Are they oxidized easily?
Rings are the same. I actually rarely clean them. For some reason they dont oxidize for me... i wonder why?? Maybe the hand washing?
+My Pandora Charmed Life Good to know, thank you very much 💕
Just watch out if u use veet to use on ur legs found out the hard way have 7 rings that’s Pandora and these are not from Pandora but my other favourite place I buy from so one ring is platinum and white gold my engagement ring and the other white gold allergic to gold the nickel in the gold but white gold is fine for me plus I don’t like gold gold. Using the veet once it oxidised my rings lucky I was able to get them right again oops
This is a weird question but I just got my first pandora bracelet and I live in Australia and it’s hot here and I don’t have air conditioning will the heat ruin my bracelet?
Is there a Pandora repair store, 3 of my bracelets has broken.
Just got my first bracelet and two charms. Do I leave a bit of a gap on my open bangle like you do on the snake chain bracelets?
Does pandora rose tarnish?
Thank you so much it was so helpful watching and learning about Pandora , today 24 /11/2021 my first Pandora just delivered and your video I just watch , so happy on my Pandora my birthday was last month so I treat myself , so happy 👍🏽❤️
Do I need the charms clips right away or should I get them as I get more charms?
Hello I have a question for you where I can buy a pandora jewelry box? Does pandora sell it ? Thank you .
I love this video I work for pandora and constantly have customers just flat out not care when I tell them take it off for bed and shower especially getting in a pool !! we just want to help your jewelry last longer its an investment 😭 and also as a manger having to deal with someone returning a 2 yr bracelet because they wore it in the pool filled with chlorine chemicals 🤦🏽♀ or stored jewelry out of a tarnish bag or the worst place in the bathroom lol
I am pretty much a rule follower when it comes to Pandora!
Love your videos new to pandora. I bought some anti-tarnish bags but one of my bracelets is leather. Can leather go in the bags or should I take the charms off and just put them in it? Thanks!
I tend to keep my leathers away from the pouches.
I've been told that pandora cleans you jewelry for free, is that true?
They do!
@@MyPandoraCharmedLife is this whilst your items are under warranty? Or can I take in older items that are years old?
From a pandora associate, as long as we can identify that they are Pandora pieces, yes, you can bring in older ones!@@musickid155

@@dianadominguez503 i love having my bracelet tumbled! sometime you really don't see how dirty/tarnished it was! :)
I'm a new subbie and have been watching a lot of your videos. I just got my first bangle so you are helping me learn about Pandora. Thank you for such great videos.
When will get good discount to buy pandora brecelate.
Hi can I wear my Pandora bangle which has few charms 24/7?
Thank you for such a helpful video! I am new to pandora. I have a bangle that is silver and pandora shine. How do I store that? I have an all shine bracelet ordered and not sure how to care for that one either.
pandora needs to come out with something for those pieces! i've been storing mine in a stackers box that i got at the container store.
My Pretty Charmed Life thank you for your response! I have only had my bracelet 2 weeks but I have been watching your videos and buying pieces. The videos have helped me a lot. I have realized that you don’t just throw a bracelet together. I will look into those jewelry boxes. Thanks again!
A few of my charms on my oldest bracelet look like they’ve “melted”...can’t really explain it, but that’s the best way I can describe it. I still wear and love it. But I’ll def take better care of my newer ones :)
Are they like dented from normal wear and tear? I love the beauty of a charm that has been used :)
My Pandora Charmed Life not really dented, some of the details kind of smoothed out...and i had a star cz dangle that warped. It’s really weird. But i still love that bracelet
