All about Pandora BraceletsBy Patrick SloaneHave you noticed a really lovely bracelet on a model's wrist recently?
The chances are it's one of the stunning creations from Pandora.http://www.billigatiffanysmycken.com/ , Now Pandora started in Copenhagen by Per and Winnie
EnevoldsenA couple of Danish Jewelry Designers.http://www.mbtvarastoida.com/ , who have pretty much cornered the market in modern Charm bracelets.
They now have hundreds of employees and a factory in Thailand.. They sell mainly wholesale and through registered
retailersThe really clever thing they did was to design a bracelet that people could change the design of themselves.
This has evolved into a jewelry system that includes charms beads and dangles in silver, gold and glass (including
Murano beads) and combinations in a stylish way. The basis of the bracelet system is normally a silver master
bracelet with various clasps and locks to prevent loss.
Leather bracelets are also available and these cost less. There are additional spacers and clips to rearrange the
beads and charms into various designs. I suggest that you design your own bracelet with a theme in mind - autumn
colors, winter or spring colors are easily available. On the master bracelet you can add charms and beads to your
personal taste. Including gold beads and charms that look truly spectacular. Pandora beads and bracelet charms may
also be used on their own necklace for an elegant matching look. Silver charms from Pandora do not include nickel to
avoid allergic reactions. Make sure silver beads are stamped. 925 sterling silver to make sure. Cheaper beads often
include nickel and can produce an unpleasant rash. Gold bracelets are also available and look gorgeous with a mixture
of gold and silver charms. Here's a hint - lay out the charms you want to use on a tray before you assemble your own
Pandora bracelet.. Make sure you use the end clips properly and screw the beads on properly(each bead has an internal
thread). To measure your own personal bracelet just use a cloth dressmakers tape measure and add the width of two of
your fingers underneath it. This way you will get a comfortable fit without cutting off your circulation and it will
be just right to stop the bracelet falling from your wrist. Most Pandora bracelets are either 19 or 20 cm long so
choose that carefully. To make the beads stay on safely you have to actually screw each bead or charm on to a Pandora
bracelet separatelyThere are other similar bracelets available from Trollbeads and Chamilia but the beads for these
may not always fit each other! If you start with either of the last two bracelets then you should ensure that
additional beads you buy will fit. A designer bracelet from any of these companies will be admired and loved and
treasured by its owner. Pandora Bracelets make superb gifts. There are, of course similar and cheaper alternatives
and we offer similar bracelets at modest prices. the beads are large and not threaded. We don't sell any of those of
course.
