Pandora’s box
My latest obsession is Pandora charm bracelets: they’re a new take on the more traditional charm bracelets.
The Danish company began making bracelets, necklaces and charms over 25 years ago and today sells jewellery that is both unique and affordable.
I am absolutely in love with the charm bracelets - they start from $39 at Pandora Charm Bracelets and run right through to an eye-popping $1533 for a 14ct gold bracelet. You can choose bracelets with either a traditional clasp or the Pandora bead clasp.
Then there are the charms and beads that you can add to your bracelet as time goes on. Pandora’s charms use a combination of precious and semi-precious stones to create the charms. Murano glass is used to create the spacing beads that you place between the charms to give the bracelet bulk (check out the Pandora website for some inspiration).
The charms on offer range from letter plates to birth stones, and the Murano glass beads are a work of art in themselves.
Pandora also sells a range of rings, necklaces and toe rings, so check out the website for stockists.
