Pandora bracelets — advice on choosing a model and size > read on the site Braslety.com.ua

I already wrote an arti­cle about what kind of bracelets there are, but since many peo­ple ask me for more detailed advice, I decid­ed to write a slight­ly more detailed answer. It is use­ful for both begin­ners and those who have not quite decid­ed which bracelet he needs. For quite a long time, Pan­do­ra had only a few bracelets, but in the last 2–3 years they began to release new vari­a­tions lit­er­al­ly in every sea­son­al col­lec­tion. So, let’s begin.

Stan­dard clas­sic bracelet (base)

The bracelet has a ser­pen­tine weave, two jumpers (thread) for clips. Also, the same thread is at the begin­ning and at the end of the bracelet — you can attach a pro­tec­tive chain to them.

Dimen­sions: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 cm. This mod­el is also avail­able with these main types of locks:

Of course, these are not all types of locks, but the main ones, since sev­er­al Pan­do­ra cap­sule col­lec­tions are released every year and almost every one has a new type of bracelet (they are on sale for a very lim­it­ed time) and it is not pos­si­ble to post a pho­to of all.

Pros and cons: the most pop­u­lar and quite durable bracelet, due to its weav­ing, is unlike­ly to break even with a strong jerk. I will not describe each type of cas­tle — for some­one it is more famil­iar than usu­al, some­one likes a cas­tle in the shape of a heart. On the Inter­net, I meet com­plaints that the lock — the heart is more incon­ve­nient to open than usu­al, I tried, but I didn’t notice the dif­fer­ence, I prob­a­bly already got used to it. I also met reviews that stones some­times fly out in bracelets with pave stones, so you need to be care­ful in wear­ing and try to avoid hit­ting the bracelet. If such an inci­dent hap­pened, you can eas­i­ly put the fall­en peb­ble in the jew­el­ry work­shop, it only takes a cou­ple of min­utes. Also pay atten­tion to the strength of the lock — new bracelets are always dif­fi­cult to open, but devel­op over time. Some­times the locks loosen and the bracelet can unfas­ten itself. If you notice this with your bracelet, this is a rea­son to con­tact the jew­el­er to tight­en the lock a lit­tle.

Stan­dard ban­gle

Rigid bracelet that holds its shape. Hol­low inside, but quite durable. There are no jumpers for clips, for this bracelet there are spe­cial stop­pers — sil­i­cone noz­zles for pan­do­ra clips so that they are fixed in a cer­tain place on the bracelet.

Dimen­sions: 17, 19, 21 cm. This mod­el is avail­able with dif­fer­ent types of locks, the main types of locks:

Pros and cons: I advise you to take this bracelet one size larg­er than your usu­al bracelet because of its shape. Many are afraid of the defor­ma­tion of this bracelet — in vain. For 2 years of inten­sive wear, I keep it in its orig­i­nal shape. The only thing is that it is not very con­ve­nient to wear it on the right hand if your work is relat­ed to writ­ing.

Leather bracelet

At the moment, leather bracelets are avail­able in two types: smooth and woven.

Num­ber of turns around the arm: 1,2,3

Pros and cons: Looks very nice on the hand, beau­ti­ful, deep col­ors. Can be com­bined for dif­fer­ent looks. Remem­ber that you can’t hang a lot of charms on leather bracelets, a max­i­mum of 7–9 pieces. (man­u­fac­tur­er’s rec­om­men­da­tions). Also, these bracelets are very sen­si­tive to water, so when choos­ing this type of jew­el­ry, be pre­pared to watch it. That’s all the basic Pan­do­ra bracelets. Of course, there are oth­ers too:

But they already go more as an addi­tion than the basis on which we col­lect our his­to­ry of charms. Since new mod­els are con­stant­ly released, to keep abreast of all the new prod­ucts avail­able for order, look at the Pan­do­ra page. Many peo­ple ask me which Pan­do­ra bracelet is bet­ter to choose? Ban­gle or stan­dard? What lock? I can’t say for sure — it all depends on your pref­er­ences, weigh, think about which bracelet you like best and buy sev­er­al at once)). Yes, yes, real “pan­doro­manes” have more than one or two bracelets! I also recent­ly came across infor­ma­tion about a bracelet from the spring col­lec­tion of 2016 (which is with­out thread).

Part of the bracelets went on sale with a mar­riage — not all carved charms can be put on it. Of course, the man­age­ment of Pan­do­ra imme­di­ate­ly with­drew these bracelets from the stores and exchanged them for those who man­aged to buy them, but still I rec­om­mend buy­ing this par­tic­u­lar mod­el in a store with try­ing on charms. I will also tell you a lit­tle about the very inter­est­ing and use­ful acces­so­rywhich not all fans of the Pan­do­ra brand know about — Pan­do­ra bracelet key.

It is made in the form of a flower with a del­i­cate pink stone on a leather cord. A very nec­es­sary acces­so­ry for lovers of per­fect man­i­cure — with its help you can eas­i­ly open any, even the tight­est lock on the bracelet with­out dam­ag­ing your nails. Many use coins and oth­er impro­vised means for these pur­pos­es, but they are not so effec­tive and often slip off and scratch the bracelet. In this lock open­er, the petals are slight­ly curved, which makes the open­ing process easy and fast. That, per­haps, is all I can say — if you have ques­tions that I did not dis­close in the arti­cle, write in the com­ments, I will def­i­nite­ly answer.
