Pan­do­ra bracelet in the arse­nal of wom­en’s jew­el­ry appeared rel­a­tive­ly recent­ly — about 30 years ago. How­ev­er, not every­one is well aware of it, and there­fore the pur­pose of this arti­cle is to explain what pan­do­ra is and what its advan­tages are over oth­er sim­i­lar prod­ucts.

The main fea­ture of this bracelet is its unique­ness. By pur­chas­ing this acces­so­ry, the future own­er is sure that there is no oth­er such acces­so­ry any­where else and nev­er will be. This is explained very sim­ply — each per­son becomes a design­er and cre­ator of his own jew­el­ry. It can be said that pan­do­ra is a kind of pre­cious con­struc­tion set that allows its own­er to assem­ble her­self tak­ing into account the cho­sen con­cept.

Pandora bracelet: what is it?

The first pro­to­type of such a dec­o­ra­tive out­fit was invent­ed by a mar­ried cou­ple from Den­mark, who owns a jew­el­ry store. Tex­tile threads or cords or rings made of pre­cious met­als are tak­en as the basis. Beads, rings and spe­cial pen­dants called charms are hung on it. All these com­po­nents can be moved, replaced with oth­ers, as a result of which every time the own­er has an updat­ed trin­ket.

It is worth not­ing that this piece of jew­el­ry stands apart in the bound­less world of jew­el­ry. This is not only a dec­o­ra­tion that looks orig­i­nal on the neck, in the décol­leté area or on the wrist. This is a kind of keep­er of quiv­er­ing mem­o­ries, placed in an ele­gant box. At the same time, ordi­nary jew­el­ry def­i­nite­ly does not stand up to com­pe­ti­tion due to its face­less­ness and mass char­ac­ter.

If we talk about the most impor­tant prop­er­ties of such an orna­ment, then you def­i­nite­ly need to remem­ber the fol­low­ing:

• mod­u­lar design — makes it pos­si­ble to have only one bracelet in your jew­el­ry box, allow­ing you to mod­i­fy it depend­ing on the cir­cum­stances;
• indi­vid­u­al­i­ty — the abil­i­ty to order var­i­ous ele­ments for dec­o­ra­tion guar­an­tees the unique­ness of each prod­uct;
• con­cise­ness of design — the cor­rect selec­tion of every detail and a suc­cess­ful com­bi­na­tion in terms of the con­ceived con­cept makes it pos­si­ble to end up with a styl­ish thing, and not a kitsch trin­ket.

Pandora bracelet: meaning and meaning

Many are nat­u­ral­ly inter­est­ed in the ques­tion of why the bracelet is called pan­do­ra. Judg­ing by the com­mon name of this prod­uct, we can con­clude that it is some­how direct­ly relat­ed to the hero­ine of the ancient Greek myth Pan­do­ra. Accord­ing to him, this woman could not cope with curios­i­ty and opened the for­bid­den box, releas­ing all the trou­bles and mis­for­tunes to the ground.

I must say that this very instruc­tive sto­ry has noth­ing to do with the bracelet. The idea is that this jew­el­ry, as it were, tells about its own­er, about her tastes, cus­toms and pas­sions. The com­bi­na­tion and com­bi­na­tion of ele­ments on it demon­strates either a com­mit­ment to reli­gion, or a love of lux­u­ry, or one’s atti­tude to the uni­verse. There­fore, how to open a pan­do­ra bracelet and whether it is worth doing it at all is also a philo­soph­i­cal ques­tion that helps to form your own opin­ion about a cer­tain per­son.

How to assemble it: what does the original decoration consist of?

As already men­tioned, the fun­da­men­tal com­po­nent here is the base — either met­al or fab­ric. Quite often it is found made of leather of any col­or, equipped with clasps with cara­bin­ers. If we talk about met­al prod­ucts, then the most pop­u­lar among many women are rings made of pre­cious met­als. In addi­tion to the base, to cre­ate a jew­el­ry mas­ter­piece, you need:

• stop­pers — pro­vide a tight fit of the dec­o­ra­tive ele­ment on the base, pre­vent­ing it from mov­ing uncon­trol­lably;
• clip sep­a­ra­tors — con­di­tion­al­ly divide the base into three parts so that in the pres­ence of mov­ing parts it does not stretch and does not warp;
• sep­a­rat­ing beads — per­form sev­er­al func­tions: they give rigid­i­ty to the bracelet and form the design of the bracelet;
• charms — direct­ly beads or dis­sim­i­lar details in the form of fig­ures, rings, flow­ers, let­ters, num­bers and oth­er things;
• con­nect­ing pro­tec­tive chain pan­dor­ra — pre­vents the loss of a bracelet, the price of which can be quite impres­sive;
• a spe­cial-shaped clasp, which is often made of sil­ver.

The com­pat­i­bil­i­ty of such an acces­so­ry with a wardrobe depends on the cor­rect selec­tion and a spe­cif­ic con­fig­u­ra­tion, as well as on the col­or scheme of the details.

Charms: what do they mean?

It is this ele­ment that is con­sid­ered the main one in terms of seman­tic load. With their help, the so-called “mem­o­ry”, “asso­ci­a­tion”, “brand” or “emo­tion” is cre­at­ed. In this case, it is impor­tant to care­ful­ly approach the issue of select­ing the main and addi­tion­al details. If you need to make an instal­la­tion for suc­cess, then you need to choose the sil­hou­ette of a cat, for luck — clover, for wealth — small coins.

Charms also dif­fer in the mate­r­i­al used in the man­u­fac­ture. They can be gold, sil­ver, plat­inum, with stones, as well as made of glass, ceram­ics, pearls, wood, plas­tic and more. Despite what finan­cial invest­ments have been made, a piece of jew­el­ry made by your­self will always seem refined and noble if the soul is invest­ed in it.
