Pandora

I’ve always liked this wee shop and admired the charms in the window when passing by. I have bought a couple of gifts from here for friends a couple of years ago, but hadn’t visited the store until recently again which rekindled my passion for the place.
I received a gorgeous pearl twist ring from here for my Birthday, which is absolutely stunning. I went back in to see if I could find a matching bracelt and got a gorgeous pearl charm silver one for under £30, which completed the look to a T!
Gorgeous jewellery with some unusual pieces too like the lovely glass bead charms, and nothing is too expensive.

Personally, Pandora is not my thing. If I’m going to spend a lot of money on jewellery I would rather they were individual pieces and not mass produced items that everyone and their Gran has like many Pandora pieces. I don’t really get the charms bracelets that they sell here with the murano glass beads in garish colours, I think it looks a bit cheap and certainly nowhere near as expensive as the items here actually are.
However, many of my friends adore Pandora and quite a few of them have their charms bracelets. This is good for me as for birthdays I can get them a new charm and they have a huge range so I can make it personal to my friends taste. The staff here are very friendly and none of my friends have ever been disappointed by any of the charms I’ve bought for them and it’s always sweet when they point out that they’re wearing them.

Oh Pandora, swoooooon! When I win the lottery this is this first place I am heading!
I think Pandora jewelry is simply stunning. They are best known for their charm bracelets and 18carat gold LovePods range. You can build a charm bracelet to suit your own taste and budget and I find them much sweeter and much more interesting than their Links of London and Thomas Sabo counterparts. A gold bracelet will set you back over £1000 or you can go for a £35 leather option as well as a plethora of alternatives in between. The charms are the same in that they range from the über expensive £200 gold types to the £20 silver types. I personally love the Marino glass bead charms in adorable candy colours. I have been tempted many times to buy the leather bracelet and a few of the cheaper charms just so that I have something, anything from this gorgeous collection! However I know I won’t be satisfied until I can afford the crème de la crème, the gold. Keep dreaming kid!
I have had many sleepless nights spent thinking about and lusting after the LovePods stacking rings. I go into this store all the time to look at them and inwardly weep at the price. The lovely girls who work in the store have gotten to know my face and I look forward to the day when I am minted and can walk up to them and say, «Today ladies, I am actually going to buy something!» Sigh.
