I bought a Pandora charm bracelet for my wife a couple of
years back and whilst it is a really nice piece of jewelry (although it was
over priced and I paid a huge premium for it) I do struggle buying her charms
for it.
The Pandora collection of charms are, in my opinion, a bit
boring and serious. Don’t get me wrong, they are nice, but they aren’t fun,
quirky or original, and they are so damned expensive, which doesn’t make them
goo value for money in my opinion.
With Halloween fast approaching I thought I would buy my
wife a Halloween themed charm for her Pandora charm bracelet, although after a
lot of searching in Pandora shops and online I struggled to find anything I
remotely liked or anything my wife would like.
My wife is a bit, how can I say “quirky” and enjoys the
lighter side of life. She likes nice jewelry and pretty jewelry but she also
likes jewelry with a bit of character to it. Unfortunately, Pandora don’t seem
to make quirky charms so I had to search elsewhere.
After a bit of time on the internet I stumbled across so
interesting Halloween themed charms and charm bracelets that were just what I
was looking for. Okay, the charms and charm bracelets weren’t made by Pandora
and didn’t have the same “street cred” as Pandora jewlery but they were also a
lot cheaper than Pandora charms even though they are made out of the same
quality sterling silver Pandora charms are made from.
Some of the Halloween theme charms and charm bracelets are a
bit off the wall and, in my opinion, a bit too much but they are cool
nonetheless. Besides, there are many cool designs that even I would consider
wearing.
Because of the price I took a punt on a couple of the charms
and charm bracelets, they weren’t that expensive, and ordered them for my wife.
When they were delivered I was impressed with the quality and I am surprised
how the manufacturers make any profit on them at all. Then again, maybe Pandora
is making super profits on each and every item of jewelry they sell. Makes you
think a little, doesn’t it?
One thing I did notice about the Halloween charms was that
the designs were also available on other pieces of sterling silver jewelry
including rings, necklaces, pendants, lockets and belt buckles. There was even
a jewelry box in which to keep everything safe and organized.. That’s right, I
could buy my wife an entire set of matching jewelry if I wanted to. Pretty
cool, no?
For your delight, I thought I would share a small sample of
the Halloween themed charms including the two designs I ended up buying for my
wife – can you guess what ones they are? Answers on a post card to...... only
joking. But seriously, if you are looking for a Halloween charm and charm
bracelet or some suitable Halloween themed jewelry to match your Halloween
costume you may want to take a look at the following:
Each and every charm bracelet is available with both round and square charms - click on the design you like to see the options available. Similarly, if you want to see all the items of jewelry the designs are on click on the design and you will be given the option.
Okay, so the charms above are not made by Pandora but they are very good nonetheless and both my wife and I are very impressed with them. Besides, they are something a little quirky and different to the norm which is pretty cool.
