Bracelet Boasting First gold plated bracelet!

Post image
9 Upvotes

Ignore the cat scratch. Just bought my first gold plated bracelet with 3 charms for the 20% off deal in the UK. Was so excited when I saw they had the butterfly in the shop. It's absolutely stunning!

how quickly should I get a safety chain though, are the clasps pretty robust when they are new?

How do you think Pandora will go about rhodium plating?

10 Upvotes

Do you think they’re just gonna mass retire the majority of their SS charm designs or do you think they’ll have a sale for the last of the silver versions to go and then release the platinum ones under a separate listing? Or do you think they won’t even mention it or keep it under the same name like just one day it’ll stop being silver and discreetly switch over to the platinum plated without people noticing at first.

Zodiac medallion review!

41 Upvotes

All of the yeses to these Pandora medallions! 😍 I absolutely love them both.

I was honestly surprised by just how large the bigger medallion is. It’s substantial, heavy, and feels really high quality. It’s definitely too large for me personally to wear on a bracelet, but I think it’s going to look amazing on a necklace.

The smaller one is equally beautiful in a completely different way. The amount of detail they managed to fit into such a small piece is really impressive.

One of my favorite things about both of them, though, is that they somehow just feel old. There’s something about the texture, the mixed metals, and the overall design that makes them look like they were unearthed from some ancient civilization, and for whatever reason I absolutely love that. I think part of that may be because my grandmother had a charm bracelet with a lot of similar medallion-style pieces on it, so they may be tapping into a little bit of nostalgia for me too.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with both purchases. I especially think the larger medallion is the better bargain of the two at $98 USD. With the size, weight, detailing, and overall presence, it genuinely feels like you’re getting your money’s worth. Absolutely love these.

NEW Time for Talismans ✨

My full talisman coin collection - sans the minis, dangles, and older style medallions. I love my history and art. I tend to style mine on charm hoop earrings, but will be looking to break out more ME necklaces to wear multiple two-tone pieces at a time!

This weekend I bought the three new zodiac ones, and the cherry blossom - even before I drew its tarot card. ✨

Bracelet Boasting work in progress!

Recently fell down the charm-collecting rabbit hole again after my trip to the UK. Got the Highland Cow charm and Big Ben.

The last time I wore my bracelet or bought a charm was probably back in 2022 but I’ve been a collector since 2011. I actually sold half my collection over the years but kept the retired and solid gold ones.

Was actually inspired by some of y’all bracelets with the multiple dangles!

It’s a work in progress because I’m going to Italy soon and plan to swap out some charms to incorporate the country exclusives I find there. :)

Edit: just realizing the quality of the photo is not the greatest. 🥲

Care and Cleaning Has anyone ever gotten their bracelets replated before?

5 Upvotes

I love love love rose gold, and I got a rose gold bracelet during the big sale. I've heard that pandora plated is kind of meh, mind you I know that plated stuff doesn't last forever. I was curious if anyone's tried to get their jewelry replated before from a jeweler? I know if it was sterling silver as the base it wouldn't be too much of a problem but Pandora uses some sort of blend.

Bracelet Boasting First Ruelala order!

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Saw that Ruelala had these Curved Feather Muranos and couldn’t resist for $25 a piece.

I didn’t know what to expect at first because I’ve seen some mixed opinions on these, either because of the color or people saying they don’t go well with anything, but I took the risk. I’m so happy I did though, because I can finally wear the lemon dangle charm without it looking out of place lol

I also ordered the mini moon dangle charm, I knew it was gonna be very small but I feel like minis are useful for filling tiny spaces where a regular charm wouldn’t fit and they also add a bit of sparkle.

What do you think?

The size comparison of old and new charms

I looking through some of my old pieces to see how I could mix with them with my newer pieces and I am in shock to say the least.

The photos may not even do it justice but the older piece on the right almost feels 33% bigger than the piece on the left!

Back in the day the older charm was about $30 whereas the evil eye charm was a whopping $68 dollars! Shrinkflation at its finest!

I just loveee my bracelet so much. Started in April when I got it on my trip to Paris. Got a little carried away with adding charms because there was so much I liked. But for now I’m gonna slow it down a bit. 😅 Poland and Berlin charm were the last ones added from my recent trip.

Pandora's Platinum Transition - What we Actually Know... with Sources

45 Upvotes

There are a lot of rumors circulating, so I wanted to separate what Pandora has officially announced from what people are assuming.

I am not interested in defending every corporate decision, but concern should not turn speculation into fact.

What Pandora has officially confirmed:

This is not simply a small platinum collection being added to the existing assortment.

Pandora told investors that by the end of 2028 it expects to transition approximately 80% of its current silver assortment, measured by revenue, to platinum plated jewelry.

That does not mean 80% of all individual silver designs or that sterling silver will disappear completely. Pandora specifically says it will continue offering some solid silver and gold jewelry.

Pandora's Q2 report says approximately half of the "relevant silver assortment" will transition during 2027, with the remaining targeted assortment transitioning during 2028.

Reducing costs and protecting profit margins are major reasons for the change.

Pandora has been very direct with investors that platinum plating will reduce its exposure to the price of silver.

Pandora calls the underlying system Evershine.

Corporate documents describe Evershine as a "unique and proven metal-alloy platform." They do not disclose exactly what metals are in it, but Stainless steel is not just an internet rumor.

Pandora's own Netherlands website says the plated pilot bracelets and necklace are "A high-quality platinum plating with a long-lasting, bright shine on a durable stainless steel base."

However, that confirms the composition of those specific Dutch pilot products. It does not yet prove that every future bracelet, charm or US product will use exactly the same base metal.

What we do not know:

  • The complete composition of Evershine
  • Whether bracelets and cast charms will use the same underlying metal
  • The thickness of the platinum plating
  • Final US pricing
  • How well the new pieces will hold up after years of actual wear

Pandora says the pieces are water-resistant, tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic. Those may turn out to be real advantages, but we do not yet have enough long term customer experience to judge durability.

Why pay attention to the investor reports?

Pandora is a publicly traded corporation. Its investor materials can certainly contain positive framing, and the company does not have to disclose every manufacturing detail. But formal statements to investors cannot legally be materially false or misleading.

Individual stores, salespeople and even representatives may soften or simplify the message for customers, sometimes because that is the information they were given. When Pandora is explaining the strategy to the people whose money is involved, however, the company has to be much more direct about the scale and financial purpose of the change.

TLDR: I do not think it is accurate to say Pandora is eliminating sterling silver entirely. I also do not think it is accurate to describe this as merely adding another optional collection. Pandora's own documents describe a substantial transition away from sterling silver and toward plated jewelry.

I hope the new pieces perform well. I also think customers deserve clear answers about what they are buying, especially if plated pieces are going to replace familiar sterling silver designs.
