Pandora stoppers

A couple weeks ago I went to the new Pandora concept store and got a double leather bracelet – my first leather!  I’m going for kind of a rocker look, and added a couple of “rock star” clips in silver to complete the look.  I was planning on using the silicone o-rings like I described in [...]

Pandora Mobile Apps

There has been a huge rise in the number of smartphones being used here in the United States and in Europe as well these past few years.  It doesn’t seem like that long ago that I was using a good old flip phone with it’s one color screen and complete lack of functionality besides making [...]

My favorite Pandora shops

While Pandora does not sell products from their website, they have more than 10,500 points of sale and almost 700 Concept Stores (here are all the different types of stores).  I mostly like to shop at my local Concept Store; I’ve developed a great relationship with my saleslady.  It makes a huge difference to the [...]

Pandora bracelets [...]

Cleaning and storing Pandora jewelry

I often see questions asked regarding how to take care of Pandora jewelry, in particular the sterling silver pieces as they tarnish very easily and often. Pandora concept stores offer free cleaning of their products which is a great service!  They have jewelry tumblers which can mechanically clean your bracelet, but be aware that if [...]

Rare/Exclusive/Limited Edition Charms

Ever since I really got into Pandora, I wondered what all the special charms were.  That got me thinking about doing an article on the rare and exclusive charms that Pandora has made over the years.  For all of us who haven’t been collecting Pandora for years and don’t have first hand knowledge, there’s no [...]

New guide on how to spot Pandora fakes

As an avid online browser and shopper of Pandora charms I know that I’ve personally run into some interesting looking sellers and listings that sometimes seem a little too good to be true. Sometimes these are legitimate listings, but other times they can be counterfeit pieces posing as authentic Pandora products! I did a little [...]
