Still, lots of people opt to have them, just for peace of mind. However, I have to say that you read about far more instances of the bracelet chain itself snapping than the clasp falling open – and the safety chain won’t help in the instance of the chain breaking. The idea is that, in the unlikely event of your bracelet clasp failing, the safety chain will prevent the bracelet from just falling right off your wrist. Safety chains are attached either side of the clasp. Pandora offer a selection of gold, silver and two-tone charms, just like the bracelets themselves. I don’t advise that you have unthreaded charms as the last charm on your bracelet – when you open it, if you’re not careful, the charm can slide right off surprisingly quickly (unlike the threaded charms, which will have to be screwed off). The pavé charms and openworks are good examples of these types of charms. However, you can get get unthreaded charms, which slide straight on to the chain without having to thread on. Pandora bracelets use a threaded system wherein most of the charms screw on to the bracelet. The threads are the weakest part of the bracelet – if a charm gets stuck on a thread, or sits across it awkwardly, it can again cause your bracelet to snap. The Pandora hinged clipĬlips also prevent charms from rolling over the threads when you’re wearing the bracelet. Using clips allows you to keep charms evenly distributed, and helps you to prevent them from bunching up. This can cause the links to stretch, and the bracelet to kink or even break. If you let all your charms hang in one section alone, it places increased strain on that part of the bracelet. When building a bracelet, you should aim for an even distribution of charms in each section. They help you to keep your charms in separate sections. The two threads in the middle of the bracelet, dividing it up, are where you should attach your clips.Ĭlips are important for a number of reasons. If you look at a Pandora bracelet, you will see that it is sectioned off into three sections. Clips are exactly what they sound like – hinged charms that snap straight on to your bracelet. One of the first things you’ll be told when you get a Pandora bracelet is, ‘Get clips.’ It can’t really be stressed enough! Clips are very important. The traditional barrel clasp Pandora lobster clasp bracelet Pandora offer two different kinds of clasps for their traditional charm bracelets – the lobster clasp, or the iconic barrel clasp. However, I’ll do a separate post to cover the do’s and don’t’s of these kinds of bracelets – they work somewhat differently to the traditional bracelets. Pandora also offer oxidised silver bracelet and leather charm bracelets. The bracelet chain itself is silver, but the clasp is gold. If you wish to compromise, a two tone version is also offered. This is obviously a very expensive option – not for the fainthearted ) The Pandora 14 carat gold bracelet The traditional Pandora bracelet comes in a variety of forms, the most popular being the all sterling silver bracelet. Getting into Pandora can be a little confusing: i.e., what’s the difference between clips, spacers and charms? I’ll be covering the ins and outs of it all right here – just hit ‘Read more’ to get all the info. In this post, I’ll be going through the basics of Pandora’s iconic charm bracelet.
