Pandora

a typical pandora bracelet

Pandora is one of the best known brands of charm bracelets. The origin of these unique designed charms is in Scandinavia. Made from sterling silver or 14 k gold, the beads are arranged on a snake chain, where they can be easily changed by a simple operation of twisting. This way, you can easily create your personalized charm bracelet that will suit your aspirations and desires. There are beads and charms that come at affordable price (usually starting from $40) – those are mostly silver charm. The bracelets themselves start at the more or less same price. The more expensive alternative is, naturally, selecting from the 14 karat yellow gold Pandora charms. In between, there is a range of moderate price articles, to accommodate every possible taste and style.

Pandora Bracelets are designed in such a way that the clasp, when closed, gives the impression of a bead. This creates an effect of perfect integration in the bracelet. For security reasons the beads are screwed onto the bracelet, and the charms are less likely to stay in place when the Pandora bracelet is unclasped. This ensures greater aesthetics as well.

Pandora Bracelets are segmented in three parts, separated by fixed beads. This enables even distribution of charms throughout the bracelet. Creating different combinations of charms to match your own individual style is thus easily achievable.

As for the authenticity of the Pandora charm jewelry, there are, of course, numerous imitations. It is enough to do a search at eBay, and you will find a lot of less expensive, but not authentic charms. The catch is that they are all made to fit Pandora bracelets – but they are not all genuine Pandora style. How can you discriminate? Usually if it says “fits Pandora bracelet”, “Pandora style” or “Pandora compatible charm”, it means that it is not genuine Pandora charm. Genuine, original or authentic is what you should be searching for, if you are purchasing from eBay, or similar auction sites. If you are looking for the original version only, you should know that most of the original Pandora charms, will be quite costly – some of them well over a couple of hundreds dollars.

Pandora jewelry is definitely a good choice, either as a precious gift to somebody you love, to celebrate a birthday or an important anniversary. This can be a memorable present that lasts for a lifetime. You can even design your own personalized bracelet online very easily.

Much like the superb craftsmanship of the charms, Rembrandt is considered one of the keenest painters in the art history of the world.

Event though the charms may look the same at first glance, each charm is derived out of 5 different metals – sterling silver, 10k and 14k yellow gold, 14k white gold, gold-plates.

The five different metals make choosing your favorite Rembrandt charm so easy. Just select your favorite symbol and the metal that corresponds to the amount of money you would like to spend.

Their silver charms are usually rhodium plated.

Likewise, in the case of gold plated charms, a thin layer of gold is put over the silver.
