Inside Greek mythology, the beauty Pandora was given a large vessel (nope, it wasn't a "box"), and the god Zeus warned her to help keep it closed forever. But what's a curious girl to carry out? Pandora opened the jar, of course, accidently allowing all forms of evils to escape. She quickly replaced the top, but only 1 thing was left inside the jar... hope. Apparently, it is hope that inspired the Danish jewelry line that took its name from this famous Greek lady.

The Pandora Jewelry line is founded on a unique bracelet that features what the manufacturers describe being a "threaded system. " This means each bracelet is divided directly into three sections by small threads, and the wearer may Pandora Australia screw the average person Pandora beads onto any segment as she chooses. The beads move freely good movement of the wearer's wrist. You can read this description over several more times, but it will remain confusing until you actually examine the jewelry yourself and see it in action.

Buying the Bracelet

Purchasing Pandora just isn't for the faint of wallet. While a silver starter bracelet may be only $35, a 14K gold bracelet with 14K gold clasp will run greater than $1, 000 (based on the length). If the expense of gold continues to climb, so will the price of Pandora.

Once you've acquired the bracelet, the spending has just begun. Pandora produces numerous attractive charms in silver, gold and silver-plus-gold - with or perhaps without gems and CZs. They can run from $25 to greater than $500 for solid gold. One of the best places to purchase bargain-priced Pandora charms is on eBay so long as you deal only with sellers that have a good reputation and an extraordinary quantity of sales.

There also are a number of companies making knock-off charms that Pandora Bracelets look good and so are high quality. (There are some producing cheesy ones also, so use your most discriminating eye when making a obtain). The problem with knock-offs is the "screw-on" mechanism. You need to be sure the beads will go on the bracelet easily (many knock-offs usually do not screw on, but slide on instead) without being compelled. If you force a too-tight bead onto the bracelet, it is possible to damage the threads.

Your Individual Look

According to the copywriters with Pandora, you can create your own look and style using a Pandora bracelet. Examples are bohemian, romantic, elegant chic, 60's floral power, the charmed sophisticate, the billionaire, the minimalist, yada yada yada. Actually, I don't see how one bracelet looks more "bohemian" or perhaps "sophisticated" than another, though I suppose the amount of gold and real gems would Pandora Charms have a tendency to lean more toward that "billionaire" look.

Pandora is just an even more jazzed up form of the traditional charm bracelet, but instead of charms that hang from a link bracelet (and make plenty of noise), the Pandora charms have holes in the midsection and screw onto the bracelet. That means your bracelet may be anything you want it to be. Mine has charms which represents all my animals - cats, dogs, horses, goats - and a number of the places I've traveled. I love to add colorful glass beads and change these to match my various outfits. Not all of my charms are usually authentic Pandora, a fact that makes my Pandora saleslady cringe. But all of them are pretty and eye-catching and I get a lot of kind comments on my bracelets.

Other Brands

There are other European-style bracelets in the marketplace, including Biagi, Chamilia and Trollbead brands. All offer a collection of beautiful beads, and most are less expensive than the Pandora series. While Trollbread bracelets are actually my favorite (I have three) since they don't have the screw-on system and all brands of beans will fit, Trollbead charms will NOT fit on a Pandora diamond. If you try to force one on, you won't be described as a happy camper.

European-style bracelets are the perfect gift for the person who has Pandora Beads everything. Give one for a birthday reward... and when Christmas rolls around, you can give a charm to enhance the original present. When it comes to buying them yourself - beware! Collecting the bracelets and beads can be habit forming. And once you have one bracelet full of charms, it is possible to see how a second bracelet would complement it. Plus Pandora makes a pleasant line of necklaces, rings and earrings to match their beans. Don't tell me later than you weren't warned!
