Love the seashell charm! I thought of getting one for my travel themed bracelet, to remember my vacations in Phuket and Bali. I love the butterfly charm too. The glass charm as well, oooh, the letter charm is cute. In short, all so pretty!
I also have Ariels shell and love it! I didn't think I would like it as much as I do!
I finally had the chance to check out this charm in the store and unfortunately, the one I bought was not authentic. The difference is very subtle and unless I am comparing side by side, I really can't tell the difference. But side by side, it is quite obvious that the one I have is very slightly larger, details are not as finely etched, and the ring circling the top and base is different. As the charms are handmade, I compared with a few pieces and all the Pandora ones are almost identical, so the difference with mine cannot be explained by the handmade factor.
The Pandora staff will not authenticate for me, she simply said that mine is still 925 silver at least, but did not come from their Thailand factory (which I believe is where all Pandora charms are made).
I read this on Charms Addict that describes exactly what I think of this bead: "If the detailing on the piece youre looking at feels flat or a bit soft, then its possible that the piece is an imitation. Counterfeit pieces are often manufactured from molds that are taken of an original piece these molds already lose some fidelity as a result of being a copy."
I paid 75% of retail price for this counterfeit piece.
Got some new Mickey and Minnie charms for my Mickey and Minnie bracelet [emoji4] I am still rearranging my bracelet. I will post a final pic when I'm don't with it.
o wow not a micky fan myself but those are really cute!
Thank you dearI was afraid it being too black but it looks lovely irl
Nowhere dark and black is so versatile too. Splendid bracelet!
Hello everyone
Whats nice with black is that it always matches anything you wear no matter the colour. Im not the type though who matches my bracelets with my clothes but i think black goes with anything.
