Pandora Charm Bracelets

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

There are many different types of charm bracelets available for collectors. From the classic charm bracelet, which uses dangling charms hooked onto an open-weave chain, to the newer Italian modular charm bracelets, there are both charms and styles to suit any age group, taste, or budget. The materials for these bracelets are nearly as varied as the types: charm bracelets can be made in inexpensive stainless steel, or pricey 18K gold. One of the newest types are the Pandora charm bracelets.

Pandora charm bracelets use a new sort of technology to add a different twist to the charm bracelet. Instead of using dangling charms like a traditional bracelet, or interlocking stainless steel square charms like an Italian bracelet, Pandora bracelets are different. The charms on a Pandora bracelet come in the form of beads, round charms that can be made in many different patterns and use different gemstones to accent your bracelet. What makes these bracelets especially unique is how the charms are attached to the bracelet base.

Pandora charm bracelets have three segments of threading on each bracelet. The beads, or charms, are actually screwed onto the bracelet in whatever pattern you wish. Each bead moves freely and rotates on its own as you move your wrist, so they definitely catch your eye. The different metals that make up Pandora bracelets range from the inexpensive sterling silver model (starting at $21 for the base bracelet) all the way up to the gold model (at around $500 for solid 14K gold). The beads also range in price depending on the type of metal used, from around $16.50 up to $750 for a single bead.

New Pandora bracelets are developed each year with new charm designs being released four times a year. Pandora bracelets originated in northern Europe and started their road to success in the United States in the year 2002. The many different types of Pandora beads include solid sterling silver and gold styles, Murano glass beads, genuine gemstones and initial beads with a combination of silver and gold. Matching rings (matching to the beads) are also available.
