If you wish to pay £60 for something that costs £2 that is fine by me.
I won't be doing it.
They have a good discount outlet on site, fill your boots, it pays for the holiday.

Re: Pandora
I'm always on the hunt for different or unusual jewellery and charity shops are great for thatI have two Clogau gold items but only because they were special birthday gifts
I also have a single leather strap black Pandora bracelet but again, a gift.
I like it but I only plan to get one simple dangly charm..
Understated is best I think
Unless on a night out of course!
Or indeed dancing Myrtle!!

Re: Pandora
HiPandora is just a rip off, the power of marketing over substance.
The share price went up from 54 in 2011 to 973 today.
They are aiming for exclusivity, which is an illusion.
They are achieving this by closing their unbranded outlets, they have closed over 1.400 of them and opened a much lower number of new branded stores, it is all about the shopping experience.
In other words, same stuff, but instead of selling it cheaply all over the place, restrict it to some fancy shops and charge 10 times as much.
I find it amazing that people can spend so much on so little.

I find it amazing that you keep coming back to this thread and spewing out your Anti- Pandora post . This is your THIRD ,
I asked the LADIES on this forum if they bought Pandora ,
You are not a LADY unless you have done a change in the weeks you joined here .
So will you make this your LAST POST in HERE PLEASE.
I thought I would start this Thread because there was so much Bile going on in the forum else where .
Lets not have it on this thread about Jewellery .

Re: Pandora
One of the ladies I work with has quite a collection of Pandora charms, some lovely stuff. I think there are worse things she could save her pennies to buy, and never known buying jewellery to harm anyone. Better to buy what she likes than jewellery she would never wear. Not sure why anyone has a problem with it, not asking anyone else to wear or buy it.

Re: Pandora
I have a Pandora bracelet that I received as a gift 2 years ago, slowly it is filling up...all charms were given as gifts. I enjoy my Pandora, yes it is expensive, but if you like it, why not ? We need things in our lives that give us pleasure and if having a Pandora gives us pleasure, who is to say that it is worthless or useless ? I know it is a fad, as many things we have purchased have been fads....but it doesn't matter at all, fad or not
When I look at my bracelet, I am reminded of who gave me the charms and why...and that is a nice feeling.
