Pandora bracelet

The Pandora bracelet is a piece of jewelry that has gained popularity and love among women around the world. And this popularity is well deserved, because in many characteristics the Pandora bracelet has no equal among jewelry.

The history of the creation of the sensational brand is associated with the names of Per and Vinnie Enevoldsen and designer Lone Frandsen.

In 1982, a small shop was opened in Denmark, specializing in the sale of rare jewelry from Thailand. Its founders, jeweler Per Enevoldsen and his wife, have successfully traded handmade jewelry for five years, which they selected on their travels and cherished the dream of making their own jewelry.

In 1987, the couple began a collaboration with the designer Lone Frandsen, the painstaking work on the original collection began - this is how Pandora was founded.

In 1999-2000 the design project of the first collection was realized. Original prefabricated bracelets entered the Danish market. The demand for modular jewelry was so great that after 5 years they appeared on the world market, and the Enevoldsen opened the first Pandora production factory in Thailand. Today there are 4 such factories.

The entire Pandora line can be divided into several basic categories for creating your own jewelry. These include: bracelets, safety chains, dividers, stoppers, charms, murano.

The most common and practical is a silver base bracelet. Minimalistic, durable, with a secure fastener, it accommodates a large number of different elements and fits nicely on the hand.

Available in gold, bicolor, blackened silver.

No less popular is a hard bangle bracelet, which in itself looks like a self-sufficient decoration. It is more original in form, but less varied in color. Bangles differ from each other only in the form of the fastener.

In addition to metal bases, Pandora bracelets can be made of leather, smooth or braided, with one, two or three turns around the wrist. They are less versatile, but a wide range of colors allows you to choose an option for any clothes, play with combinations of shades, combining different jewelry or two bracelets of different colors.

Textile bracelets look a bit like leather jewelry. They are delicate, thin, and look very graceful on the narrow wrists of young girls. Also available in a wide range of colors.

Of course, the assortment is not limited to four models, but all other Pandora bracelets are more likely an additional or independent adornment, and not a basis on which one can reflect significant events and collect their own history.

They look like a beautiful element of a bracelet, but in fact, their purpose is to protect the jewelry from falling off the hand if the clasp is accidentally unfastened. This is very convenient as the bracelet will not get lost. Chains come in different lengths, and the links differ in design.

Narrow, flattened beads, which are needed to separate one charm from another or to fill in empty space on the base if other elements do not already fit there. In the overall composition, they look like full-fledged jewelry.

There are two types: large clip-beads, which are fixed on special threads of the base bracelet, dividing it into 3 identical parts, and silicone stoppers, designed for bangles, on which there are no thickenings and threads.

These are special pendants that fill the bracelet sections. They are divided into threaded beads that are screwed onto a bracelet and "openwork", which are simply strung onto the base.

There are whole series of charms dedicated to travel, relationships, family, zodiac signs and other categories. There are charms without a specific theme. Among them are the heart, flowers, ballerina, letters and numbers, the sign of infinity, a four-leafed leaf for good luck.

Women's bracelets with charms, pendants and balls can be worn both on the arm and on the leg. It looks very nice and unusual.

They differ in that they have additional details that hang from the base. Watches are especially popular among pendants.

A special kind of pendants, which are created using special Italian technologies for cutting and staining glass. They are bright, unusual and simply amaze with their beauty and variety. These beads are a great option for a bracelet in a certain color scheme.

In addition to smooth muranos, faceted ones are common. Each bead has about 70 facets that catch and reflect light and play in a special way on the bracelet, becoming its accent.

The raw materials used in the production are the pride of the Pandora company. All jewelry is created from yellow or rose gold, silver, and a combination of these materials, genuine leather, 95% cotton. For the manufacture of charms, natural and artificial precious stones, crystals, glass of the highest quality are used. We should also highlight charms with enamel.

The hallmark of Pandora bracelets is silver. There are also products made of gold and in bicolor. Jewelry in color is common among leather and textile bracelets, as well as in pendant designs and glass muranos. Basic colors: pink, blue, black, turquoise, red.

When choosing the ideal size, you should take into account the girth of the wrist and the characteristics of the preferred model. The ideal length for a single bracelet is calculated using the formula: wrist circumference plus 2-4 centimeters. Guided by this rule, you need to be more careful with bangla bracelets of a rigid shape, they are presented in only three versions: 17, 19 and 21 cm.

The formula is also valid for bracelets with 2-3 turns around the arm, but with one caveat. Before adding 2-4 centimeters to the length by the volume of the wrist, it should be multiplied by 2 or 3 by the number of turns, respectively. In order not to make a mistake in the calculations, you can use a ready-made size table that the company has developed individually for each model.

Particular attention should be paid to size when choosing a model from the Pandora Essence collection. The length of products in this collection varies within 6 sizes, and the ideal variant is calculated using the formula: wrist circumference plus 1 cm.

Not only bracelets have their own parameters, but also protective chains - from 4 to 7 cm. There are not such rigid selection parameters, a 4-5 cm chain will be enough so that the product is not lost if the lock breaks.

The variety of Pandora products is so great that a beginner's head is spinning and it is very easy to make a mistake in choosing, not knowing some of the features of wearing jewelry. When choosing a bracelet and accessories for it, it should be borne in mind that:

• The size is determined by the formula and table;
• If the length of the girth is on the border of two sizes, you need to build on the number of charms that will be attached to the bracelet.With a large amount, it is better to give preference to a longer length, with a small amount, a smaller one;
• The bracelet immediately after purchase is denser and harder than after prolonged wear. Over time, all products, except for bangles, will become flexible;
• The product has the ability to stretch up to 1 extra centimeter;
• Charms do not take up as much space as it might seem, so do not neglect the company's recommendations for filling the space with them on the basis;
• A new bracelet can be chosen according to the length of the old one, taking into account that the product could have increased in length by a centimeter during the process of wearing:
• The Pandora Essence collection stands out from the rest in all respects. Bracelets are not suitable for wrapping ordinary charms, and beads are not suitable for wearing on a regular basis;
• The natural properties of leather make bracelets made of it more capricious to the conditions of storage and use. Depending on climatic changes, leather products can shrink and stretch;
• Any Pandora bracelet should be protected from contact with water, especially salt;
• In order to avoid deformation of the jewelry, it is recommended to take it off before going to bed and during sports;
• It is better to store the jewelry in a branded box, away from moisture and direct sunlight;
• The bangle bracelet does not stretch over time, but it fits more tightly to the hand with an increase in the number of beads and pendants on it.

There is nothing difficult to assemble a piece of jewelry, and there is no universal solution, because the end result depends on taste preferences, a sense of proportion and style, the age and character of each girl. However, there are some recommendations regarding the appearance of the jewelry.:

• A bracelet is considered full if it has 15 to 20 elements, including stoppers, pendants and dividers;
• It is recommended to decorate leather and tiered bracelets with 7-9 balls, no more;
• The beads on the base should be united by a certain idea or color scheme;
• All elements from the same material can merge into a solid silver or gold mass, therefore it is recommended to dilute them with glass pendants, jewelry with stones or enamel;
• The combination of two bracelets from different textures looks beautiful and stylish, if they are not overloaded with charms;
• It is advisable to put only one bright accent. For example, a few murano beads or a charm pendant;
• It is not necessary to try to fill the entire space of the base with beads. Minimalistic models look elegant and laconic, and therefore more advantageous;
• The more the bracelet is filled, the less other jewelry should be on the hand.

To decorate a bracelet with charms, you need to open it. The manufacturing company has provided a separate accessory for this purpose - a universal key to the locks. It is made in the form of a clover petal on a leather cord. The petals are slightly bent inward, and their edges are very thin, which makes the opening process easy and quick, and the product does not deteriorate with scratches, like from coins, files and other devices.

When closing the lock again, it is important to adjust the position of the end of the bracelet in it. You can click the lock only after it is in place and is completely inside, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the product.

You can distinguish an original product from a replica by the presence of brand signs of authenticity. Firstly, this is the image of a small crown above the letter “O” on the clasp of the bracelet. Secondly, the manufacturer's stamps: s925 ale on silver items, g585 on gold items and ale r on rose gold models. If the bracelet is made of two metals, it must be marked with silver, as it is considered silver with the addition of gold. There is no stamp on the gold part.

The third distinguishing feature is the clover on the bracelet lock.

But replicas are of very high quality, so you should additionally pay attention to the material and weight of the product.A bracelet made of precious metal will not magnetize, unlike a fake, and its weight significantly exceeds a dummy made of stainless steel or other cheap material.

Jewelry requires special care and Pandora bracelets too. In order not to have to frequently expose the product to cleaning, it is very important to store it in a dry and dark place, and while wearing it, protect it from water and harsh chemicals. However, it is impossible to foresee everything, besides, silver products inevitably darken over time from contact with the skin due to the fact that the alloy contains copper.

There are several ways to clean a darkened or yellowed bracelet: take it to a workshop, where it will be treated with a sound device, or use homemade products.

At home, the following methods are used to clean metals:

• Soda solution. The product is immersed for 12 hours in warm water with the addition of baking soda, then washed under running water and wiped dry;
• Soap solution. Use a solid or liquid cosmetic soap, dishwashing detergent. The decoration must be kept in a water-soap solution for 30 minutes, then cleaned with a soft brush and dried;
• Dentifrice. A thick mixture of water and powder is applied to the product with a brush, after a short polishing it is washed off with water. This method is not suitable for bracelets with pearl elements.

Pandora bracelets are admired even by those who do not have them yet. Among the main advantages are the originality of the idea, the accuracy of execution, the reliability of the lock and details, the unique beauty and the ability to create an individual decoration. The process of buying and arranging the bracelet is interesting. It is especially appreciated that it is not just a universal decoration, but the ability to turn it into a talisman or a memory of important events in life.

In theory, you can endlessly talk about the beauty and merits of Pandora bracelets, but this is how they look in real life:

• The tenderness of silver charms and the depth of color of glass murano.
• A bright and luxurious solution.
• A bold combination of colors and textures.

• A combination of charms and a woven leather base.
• Beauty is in simplicity.
• An accent on a graceful wrist.
