Every Pandora jewellery item is a handmade Danish design in sterling silver and 14 karat gold. Pandora bracelets have a patented threading system that allows charms to be placed, added and rearranged. Pandora has created more than 800 handcrafted charms, available in sterling silver, 14k gold and murano glass, sometimes with semi-precious stones or precious gems.
These are a couple of examples of completed Pandora charm bracelets.
I love the thought of being able to buy a bracelet and collect charms later on to commemorate something in my life. Probably I'll buy a bracelet and three charms at once to represent my husband and two children. Then collect them through the years.
I was window shopping at Empire Shopping Gallery in Subang when I chanced upon the Pandora store and I instantly fell in love with the 14k gold bracelet. I mean I've known about Pandora for so long and always wanted one but seeing them on my hand was a totally different story! They have silver as well as leather braided, and waxed cotton string bracelets as well. The sales assistant in the Pandora store was oh-so-helpful and let me try on some of the completed bracelets. I'm usually not a fan of gold bracelets but the Pandora 14k gold charm bracelets were divine!
The rings and the compose earrings were equally gorgeous too!
However, my hopes were dashed when he informed me that just the bracelet alone costs approximately RM7000. But RM7k for an empty bracelet? Hundreds for a single charm? Definitely can't afford it right now.
On the other hand, I have read time and time again that right now is the perfect time to buy gold for investment purposes. There has been no time like the present to invest in gold what with it's steadily rising price on the market front. Also, it has been widely known that in times of crisis, particularly in times where there is great threat of war, the demand for gold rises even more. It is recognizable everywhere in times where banknotes and currency are unstable. Even some banks right now are offering loans for those who store their gold as some sort of collateral. Or so I heard.
Anyways, my point is, I want a Pandora gold charm bracelet, and I'm trying to justify spending on that amount of money as an investment for my future. Too bad I don't have that much to spare. Perhaps I can start on the silver bracelet instead. I forgot which one the sale assistant showed to me that cost only RM200+. He also gave me 3 different catalogues to
Perhaps, it's not too late to write Santa a Christmas wishlist. :)
Note: I'm not sure whether there are any other Pandora stores in Malaysia, the only one I know of is the one at Empire Shopping Gallery. If you check out the official Pandora site, Malaysia isn't even listed since the store is still pretty new.
