Pandora Unboxing

Pandora Unboxing

Today I thought I'd do an "unboxing post" for Pandora Jewellery which I'm sure you've all heard of. This unboxing also comes with A bit of a story so we go..

Basically my dad got me a Pandora bracelet with some charms for my 18th birthday, I loved it and it made people buying me presents so easy as they could just pick me a charm and it would have a use not just vouchers and money etc.

Then the bad part, I cannot find it!! I'm gutted! I thought once me and my partner moved into together it would just 'turn up' but we've empties both rooms and it's nowhere to be seen :( not only have I lost all my charms but people kept buying me them thinking I still had the bracelet! 

I've just celebrated my 21st and yet again I received Pandora charms which I was gutted I couldn't use. So I decided it was time to accept my bracelet is lost and to replace it! It received a lot of my money for my birthday (not stating the figure as I'm not one to brag but it was A LOT which I'm so grateful for!) so decided that I would buy a new bracelet with it and show off my new 21st charms etc and slowing build it back up by treating myself every so often with a charm that I previously had as they all meant so much to me. I know exactly which charms I had and who bought them!

I love having my bracelet back, it's not just jewellery, it's memories that I can carry around with me everyday and I will definitely be taking more care and investing in a jewellery box to keep it safe! (If anyone can recommend a nice jewellery box, please let me know!!)

So let's do this....

Packing/presentation

I'd give Pandora a 5/5 for this.

It's simple, elegant and of good quality! I love that  all Pandora jewellery comes in a bag as well as a box. The bag looks elegant and is a nice size to show off discreetly that you've bought some new jewellery. It also comes with a nice ribbon which just ties it together beautifully.

As I ordered online, my bag came flat but the box was gift wrapped in Pandora paper and a pink ribbon (that seems to be their signature thing!).

The product

I'd give the bracelet itself 3/5. 

I like the bracelet, it's sterling silver with a Pandora branded locking clasp. I got the 19cm which is the most common size. I have enough room for lots of charms without it hanging off my arm. The only thing I don't like is the clasp, it's very tight and loosens over time so with this one, I've been sliding it off my wrist to take off which you're not supposed to do! There are safety chains available to purchase from Pandora so they've covered they're backs there but I definitely won't be purchasing one. 

As for the charms, I can't really rate them as they're so many and it's really down to personal preference and style. I think they're some really great designs and a few not so attractive ones but they obviously appeal to others so it's a tough one to comment on.

The company

My overall rating for Pandora is 3/5.

I love the variety of charms they have and believe they are of good quality along with the bracelet. Their overall image is classy, elegant, fun and memorial which appeals to all ages.

Things I dislike are the price of some of the charms they range from £20+ which is why so many people to buy charms from markets or other brands as they are so much cheaper and look exactly the same, I wish they had a more affordable range I think more people would charms as gifts etc and not resort to fakes/dupes.

Would I recommend?

Yes, definitely. The bracelet is a lovely gift for a special occasion like a big birthday or graduation and then charms can be purchased as future gifts or they can treat themselves to a charm they like. Or if you're thinking of buying one for yourself, go for it! You can choose from silver to leather, whatever your taste, they'll be something for you. 

I hope you found this interesting/helpful :) please comment to let me know your thoughts and ideas :)
