I ordered from Jewel First a UK company. The deals are fabulous since most are retired charms. I paid 17.50 pounds each for muranos which is about 30.50 CDN, so not bad at all. And a 14k anchor dangle for 50.00 pounds which is about 87.00 CDN. That charm is 145.00 in Canada.


It really burns me that we never get this kind of sale and you get stonewalled when inquiring in a store. I feel like all SA's have been instructed to suggest all online purchases are counterfeit; only those bought from a bricks and mortar store are genuine. Even when I mentioned Charm Junction which is a legitimate online Canadian supplier of Pandora I get the dismissive sniff! There a lots of people who don't live close to larger urban areas that sell Pandora in-store so I don't know what their problem is.

Wow thank you SO much, I'm going to have a look tonight!

It really is a shame that there are never sales here. It's a very expensive hobby so showing your customers some appreciation by having the occasional sale would be nice. I know they have the free bracelet promo coming up, but I really wish I could choose the oxy bracelet over the silver, because I already have that one.

I think you have more free bracelet promos than us in the UK though :smile1:. The lack of sales isn't good; I bought most of my collection on offers. There's no way I would amass so much had I been buying in a concept store every time. It's my favourite way to buy Pandora - new but discounted :graucho:

I finally got my charms! They arrived yesterday and the package had been opened (probably by customs) and not closed again very well so I am just happy they arrived intact. I ordered some more today and noticed that my address showed UK as my country instead of Canada so I am sure that's why they took so long to arrive. And they are lovely, I got 3 orange flower muranos, 1 blue ponds, 1 harmony Chinese symbol and 1 10k gold anchor dangle.


The price is so reasonable, it's so hard just to order a couple since all the ones I am looking for are retired. I'm afraid they will be gone forever if I don't scoop them up quickly. We never have sales in Canada, why I don't know. I know my local jeweller seemed a little miffed that I am getting great deals on Pandora and voiced their skepticism on their authenticity. It's their own fault for shipping all their retired charms back to Pandora. And now I can get them at a reduced price! Ha!

Really happy for you! Shame you had to wait so long but now that you've got the address sorted, you can buy with confidence.

Yeah, I know, they are the same price for crying out loud so I don't know what the big deal is. I tried to get one instead of the plain SS bracelet and was told it's not allowed. Sheesh!! You would think that goodwill is a great way to boost sales. If I got the oxidized one then maybe I would buy more two tones and oxidized charms to enhance it. To me it is a smart business practice; I'm happy and they are not out any money and probably have increased prospective sales. We could all be great CEO's of this company I think!

I agree!! Well I could also get the bangle with the promo instead of a second SS bracelet, I guess. My wrists are so tiny though, I wonder if the bangle comes in various sizes??

Apparently in the states they allow customers to choose whicheber bracelet they would like and they can pay the difference. I will ask but based on what I've heard I'm not holding my breath!

I have two bangles and I am a bit disappointed with them. I think they only come in 3 sizes; I chose the middle size and it is really too big for me. I don't like bracelets that come off my arm without undoing them.


You are only supposed to put about 6 max charms on them and they get caught on the threads more than on the snake style bracelet IMHO. Plus the highly polished finish means they are more likely to scratch. Really you need to try them out in the store to be sure.


I felt the same about the other style bracelets; I really wanted the multi-strand but again, the sizes didn't work for me. I have the 5 clip one but have never worn it.
