Hello Ladies, can I just say what fantastic bracelets you all have, thank you to everyone for taking the time to post the pics for all of us to drool over. It's great! Anyway I was speaking to a lady at Pandora HQ in the UK on the phone today, regarding a problem I have with a seller on Ebay (where else??) and wanted to see if they could clarify whether it is right or wrong for Paypal to request that you send back a fake/copy item to the seller. Well if you refuse you can get Pandora to send an official letter to the seller informing them of the fact that they are aware of the seller passing off fake Pandora. That is all they can do apart from get Consumer Direct involved also. She told me that not only are there copies of the jewellery being passed on but ALSO copies of their packaging!! Not very good, but nevertheless it shows the lengths to which these people will try to trick you into believing it's the Real Deal. I know I will never buy Pandora off Ebay ever again. The disappointment and then the stress of trying to resolve the issue isn't worth the saving IMO. I love my Pandora and couldn't accept anything less than the genuine McCoy.
So I received my loot from Kendalldew today and I'm a little skeptical about the bracelet I ordered. The bracelet has the new clasp. The very first bracelet I bought many months ago had to new clasp also (I ended up exchanging it for a larger size so I don't have it to compare). The first bracelet had a crown above the "O", but it was detached from the "O". The bracelet I received today has the crown about the "O", but it is attached and the letters seem really big to me. Here's a picture of it next to my other bracelet that has the older clasp (for comparison of the letters).
What do you guys think? It is fake or was the very first one I got fake?
Thanks in advance for your help!

^^ Pandora is cast in molds and given the 1,000s of produced, there will be multiple sets of molds -- no two perfectly identical. I don't believe you have gotten fakes.
Your new bracelet looks just like my mom's new-style bracelet. It doesn't look like a fake to me 
You were correct to check out the bracelet's authenticity mitties27 we can never be certain unless we buy from an authorized dealer. Despite the confidence we have in Kendalldew I went over my purchases from her. I hate fakes and would rather pay full price for an item than have a fake. Glad this worked out for you. :smile1
A while ago I suggested to my sister that we should make Pandora bracelets together. Imagine my surprise when, a month later, she gave me my birthday present - a sterling bracelet with two clips! She had it purchased before I mentioned doing bracelets together. What a sneaky sister.She also purchased a bracelet for herself. We immediately headed to the store and bought each other the Tree of Life bead, which holds a lot of meaning for us both. Then, we went on our annual sister vacation, where we each added a murano bead and another bead - mine is the poinsettia. I always drew flowers like the poinsettia when I was a child. The building of our bracelets will take years, because we are only buying beads when we are together. It is so much fun! I have been pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the bracelets are with just a few beads on them. Not only that, but they are comfortable as well.
i love that idea!
Where may i ask did you manage to get the HCA hat? I've been looking for it for ages. I have the swan and the p and p is at the shop i work in. How much did you manage to get the hat for if you don't mind me asking? Thanks
aww thanks lolas! It all started when I saw a similiar ruby one at the pandora store and after that my heart and head was set on RUBIES!It was love at first sight lol
btw thanks guys on the advice of the safety chain!
I've just been catching up on a few weeks' worth of posts in this and Pandora Creations thread and I just have to say that there are some stunning bracelets out there. However (and forgive me girls!) I have to say that my vote for the OMG bracelet has to go to Iluvpandora's gold and ruby creation - absolutely gorgeous.
Am I right in thinking that someone mentioned that the ruby beads were amongst the ones to be retired at some point later this year? If so, that makes your bracelet all the more special - and a definite collectors item for the future!
Congratulations - simply stunning!
Hello Ladies! I'm new to the forum and just went through all the pages admiring your beautiful bracelets, so I decided to join you and share mine. It's not finished yet though it's quite close to. It's blue themed and I'd like to add some more beads with blue (though I'm done with the muranos in this one) and the seashell for sure, I don't know if after that there will be any room left, maybe for some spacers..
Here it is:
Hope you like it!
