I’ve had my bracelets for years, yes they tarnish as silver tends to do. Once you give it a good cleaning and polish it’s as good as new. The store offers lifetime cleanings, so there’s no reason to walk around with dull looking jewelry. To me is worth it, I mostly shop during sales, and only buy charms from Disney, Marvel, or anything that sparks joy. I enjoy the experience of going to the store and creating a keepsake. Retail therapy it’s my form of self care, to me splurging on a new bracelet at Pandora it’s as good as talking to a shrink. 😂

Except they don't do cleanings anymore and instead they try to sell you a cleaning kit. They definitely went down in quality over the years
@habibtisquad82710 күн бұрын
@@avrilrairatathey didn’t go down in quality in fact the pandora rose had an old formula. a couple years ago which people complained about extremely with the plating fading off, and this new formula i’ve hardly seen complaints, their jewellery looks good as new… just bc they don’t offer cleanings anymore doesn’t mean much tbh just buy the kit it’s worth it

I love pandora here in Florida in the US. Although I think it's over priced in the fancy mall stores for what it actually is. I bought a few charms online (from China directly) and it's exactly the same for a fraction of the price! Some people feel better walking into a store/mall buying this. I am totally fine getting it for less online.

It’s hard to see the emblem on the bracelet. so far very happy other than the price being high I have not had any problems. Too many charms cost more than $50. And the bracelet itself is 50 or 55. The charms to me are high price.

My sister, mom and I all have pandora bracelets that we add to for special occasions like graduations and stuff. We got them around the time I graduated from high school when they had just started to really take off and become popular. To this day, none of us have that many charms and have been collecting slowly... So the cost doesn't really cut in. It's just 30-60$ (depending on sales) maybe ever other year or so, if that. The bracelets have all held up well, and the level of tarnish isn't so bad on mine. I wear it when I go out to places, and my mom wears hers almost all the time. Cleaning them can be time consuming if you are doing it by hand and have a lot of charms/bracelets, but if you have just one with like 8-10 charms on it, cleaning shouldn't take so long. Ultrasonic cleaners aren't that expensive these days, though, and that's what we use with a little polish cloth after for shine helping. They are durable and will last a long time! I'm clumsy and I constantly whack my wrists and hands into things, but have seen barely any damage on my charms or the bracelet itself. There are cheaper knock-off brands you can get perfectly good silver charms from, and etsy sellers as well. If you don't care about whether or not the charms are actually proper silver, then the aliexpress ones are alright (if sometimes a bit jenky). I'd go with the Etsy sellers and crafts people though, if I don't buy from Pandora (they just have such a large selection I tend to shop with them). Thank you for the follow-up video on this brand!
@nitarose44 Жыл бұрын
I agree. Although, Etsy sellers can be sketchy. Twice I've purchased from Etsy shops claiming to sell new Pandora charms. Both have had stones fall out right away and were a cheap overlay on top of an orange metal. So- def not authentic.

I'm new to Pandora. I love my silver bracelets. I have a bangle and snake chain. Iwear my snake chain constantly, but take both off to shower. I clean them myself every two weeks to keep them shiny.

If you want ethical company that pay their worker well and have nice quality silver and great craftsmanship they would have to sell it to you with that price not to mention the maintenance + warranty and the customer service they offer when you buy it... unless you want your Pandora to be made in China factory and masses produce... not to mention all the marketing cost... you could definitely go and buy a lesser brand with less to offer for a lesser price and mediocre craftsmanship... not everyone want to buy a 5$ cheap quality silver ring without warranty or free polishing that made in China with low level of craftsmanship or bad quality of silver... That why Pandora is more on the higher end of silver jewelry and if people couldn't afford it no one are forcing them... atleast Pandora have some resale value compare to other silver jewelry brand so you pick what you could afford that all... personally i think Pandora have more value than other silver jewelry and when your jewelry have value that a good thing... Pandora is a foothold in the silver jewelry industry so they probably charge a little bit more for the brand but that is how business and capitalism work... atleast unlike Chanel, Dior, Versace, LV selling you brass jewelry and fake diamond at absurd price Pandora is actually a brand name famous for silver jewelry and actually sell you real silver jewelry... also they don't have fake diamond they sell nice cut moissanite which is a better gem and shinier than diamond... diamond is a multi level marketing scheme because gold is literally rarer than diamond... does people actually think they could get real natural diamond for that price ? Pandora never advertised that they sell diamond ? If that the case that just proved how beautiful their moissanite is and them being able to cut mossainite nicely... no diamond could shine brighter than a premium high grade mossainite

Well I have been a long term on and off Pandora fan and I have loads of their products. I think Pandora set their products on a comparatively reasonable price.... considering everything like the branding and the quality.... all that counts right? It's interesting to hear that Tiffany and Co is the 22nd/23rd preferable brand in the UK (I lived in the UK for about 10 years now settled in the US) .... while Pandora is the 6th. Personally, I prefer Pandora than Tiffany....quite simply because of my limited budget...however, I do have a few pieces of Tiffany, if I can afford Tiffany, I would go for their gold pieces instead of silver because I find their silver seems to be easier scratched for some reason. While Pandora really looks good for a long time unless you abuse the jewelry. Most importantly, compare to Tiffany and Co and Swarovski....Pandora comes up with way more new designs for year, I think that is pretty important as it is always tempting and exciting to see new items. Though when it comes to reselling the pieces you own, Tiffany would keep their values better than Pandora, however, its all about who can afford what. I am happy with the quality of Pandora and I can't afford many pieces of Tiffany, that's the story.
