Building Your Pandora Charm Bracelet
If you head to vintage stores or look at online jewelry auctions, you will often find that charm bracelets of any kind are extremely popular. This is because they are such unique items full of…well…charm! They each seem to tell us a story about the person who wore them or made them, and this is one of the main reasons that so many people also will create a Pandora charm bracelet too.
While old-fashioned charms are always going to have a lot of general appeal, they can also be a bit difficult to wear. They can be somewhat large, easily snag in the clothes and hair, and even fall off if their jump rings are old and weak. This doesn't mean that charm bracelets are out of the question, it just means that a more modern design is preferable. This is where the appeal of the Pandora charm bracelet comes into the equation.
Why? The charms are shaped into the form of tube beads that are strung on precious metal, cotton cord, or leather bases. A few of the beads have smaller stones, gems, or charms delicately dangling from them, but most are beautifully sculpted beads that offer just as much personal expression as the heftier old-fashioned versions.
Consider that someone interested in building a bracelet can easily find a Pandora charm for almost any occasion or event. There are beads for those who love shoes, flowers, animals, games, and more. There are Murano glass beads that can be used as colorful and expressive spacers, and there even wooden beads that can help to forward a theme as well.
Need an example of how a Pandora charm bracelet could be built around a specific theme? Let's say you love horses and want a sort of southwestern or country-themed bracelet to demonstrate your interest. You could easily select one of the leather or colored cotton cords to serve as a base, you could select from silver or gold spacer beads, you could add turquoise colored glass beads, a few wooden beads, and charms that included everything from horses and horse shoes to western and cowboy themed figures too.
Clearly, it is fun and easy to use Pandora bases, beads, and charms to build a truly original and interesting piece that reflects your interests and your personal style. Like any other project, however, it will really pay to find a source offering the many different components in order to get the best results.
