Wynne’s Day…
I love Pandora bracelets. I have wanted one for years (hint, hint). This year for Christmas I bought my mom and mother-in-law Pandora braceletsand some charms to get them started. These bracelets are basically charm bracelets but without the dangley, pointy charms. The charms that fit on these are bead-charms. There are hundreds to choose from in simple silver or gold beads, Swarovski crystal inlays, semi precious stone inlays, and some with dangles. There are hundreds of charms you can ”build” a bracelet with. Most jewelry stores and specialty gift stores carry them, as well as on-line. Keep in mind, too, they run great specials! They do trunk shows at gift stores and offer all sorts of specials. My favorite is if you spend $75 in charms, you get a free bracelet! That way you get a bracelet and a couple of charms to start! The beads range in price from $15 to over $60 depending on what you like.
It is a great item to have if you have a husband who doesn’t know what to buy for you for special occassions. They can just go down to your local jewelry store and buy a new bead and he is done with his shopping and you get what you want. My local store even lets you set up a “wish list”…makes it even easier for puzzled husband.
Thanks, Wynne. I know many people with these darling bracelets and every time I see one I wish I had one. There are so many charms to choose from!
Just a tip. The amazon store called beadaholic has Pandora beads for under 2.00 a piece and stainless steal bangles for the Pandora beads for under 6.00.
You really don’t have to break the bank to have a beautiful bracelet. The Pandora beads are nearly as good in quality as annealed lampworked beads.
I was surprised how really lovely they actually are. So just passing along a little frugal tip!
