Pandora Bracelets

Hi

I'm thinking of getting a Silver Pandora bracelet and charms/beads for our 11yr old daughter for Christmas.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the cheapest place to get one.

Thanks in advance

  • I just got one from Ebay. It's 925 silver and then you just buy the charms seperately from whichever buyer you like. I love ours, I got one for me and one for DD. If you type Pandora bracelet into Ebay loads will come up. Be careful of ones that aren't silver though, check they say 925 on the listing. HTH Tiger x

    They are all very similar in price - johngreed designs are good online.
    Be wary of buying off ebay for fakes and pandora 'style' charms.
    Most of the silver charms are bout £20 each and the bracelet with lobster clasp is about £50-55.

  • Argos do a cheap alternative and you can be sure that it is silver unlike some off ebay

    I have just bought the Argos version and it is great, the lady who sold it to me in Argos actually had the real Pandora version and to be honest I couldn't tell the difference.

    She did say that the "real" version only takes that proper pandora beads, which kind of screw on - meaning that the beads will be expensive to get and could be quite hard to get hold of.

    My version takes the Argos beads, the H Samual ones and many that are readily available on the internet.

    I am only intending to get sterling silver beads and therefore really happy with my cheaper version and sterling silver is sterling silver.

    Argos also do a childs version ie smaller bracelet, and quite a few beads!

    I love mine and can't wait to start collecting new beads!

    Hi Kaz, an offer re Pandora here, I've used this company myself, can recommend.

    Pandora, chamilia, troll beads are all interchangeable so no problems there.

    Nearly all the high street jewellers have caught on plus Tesco Direct, Argos, re silver beads and silver bracelets.

    Have a look, there is no need to spend an absolute fortune as the beads can be sourced from many places.

    I have never heard of one of these before - but they look lovely.


    I want one!:j :rotfl:

    Are the ebay .925 ones really ok? They seem waaay too cheap lol. I would like one for my daughter as well though, so would bring the cost down.

    Do the beads just slide on to the bracelet and move about, or do they attach permanently in some way?:confused:

    Thank you so much Triker, have just ordered and got the discount.

    Thank goodness she has a name that can be shortened from its original 8 letters :rotfl:

    Not sure about the cheaper ones but the pandora ones kind of screw onto the the bracelet and then once on they slide about but there is a place to put two clips along the braclet which divides it into 3 parts and the bead can only slide as far as the clip, IYKWIM.

    Thank you so much! Just saved £33 on DD's Christmas present. Some of the beads are selling out fast though, get in quick!
  • I can highly recommend the one Triker did too - Unforgetable Moments. I ordered Friday afternoon and received sat morning with 20% off to.

    It is my first Pandora bracelet and they are beautiful. Mine is for Christmas so my husband has confiscated it until then so i am now counting the days!
