Pandora charms

Is there any Pandora experts on this site?

I would like to buy my friend a Pandora charm for a special occasion. I have been looking on their site and have found the one I would like to buy. However, whilst browsing through the list of searches that came up there are also other sites that say Pandora and selling their Pandora charms from £13 onwards.
  • Do you think these are genuine?
  • Should I stick to purchasing it in the shop where I live?
Not very good on knowing these things. My gutt feeling is telling me to go to a recognised High Street shop although they are more expensive with no sale on.

Thank you

    A friend of mine ordered a bracelet and charms from a website, and it was very clear to me (who has a Pandora bracelet full of charms!) that they were fake. I think they use genuine Pandora photos on their website then send their own ones.

    I would stick with a real one from a jewellers - in a Pandora store they always wrap it nicely, and if you ask they will give a gift receipt as well. I was in one the other day and overheard the sales assistant telling a couple that they will clean it for you too, although I didn't hear if this was free or not! If you are anywhere near Oxfordshire, the Bicester Village outlet centre has a Pandora shop where some of the charms were on sale when I went in last.

    The John Greed website sells Pandora, and also offers 11.11% cashback through Topcashback at the moment. Do you use any cashback websites?

    Thanks that is exactly what I thought. I think I will go with my gutt feeling as will be very embarrassed if it turned out to be a fake gift and go to the high street Pandora shop.
    No, Idon't use cashback websites.
