Spacers for Pandora Charms Bracelets
Pandora: the hottest brand in women’s jewelry today. Pandora produces a wide array of charms and ornaments that you can use and combine to create a personalized jewelry unique only to you. Various kinds of beads are available in order for you to complete your design. There are gold beads, silver beads, glass beads and a lot of other beads made of precious stones available as well.
What gives Pandora its appeal is the concept of letting the user become the designer of the jewelry she is wearing. Any individual, even if she has no experience or technical know how in making accessories, can create her own just like any professional jeweler could. By making the necessary components available to every individual, Pandora has once again opened a box allowing enthusiasts to think out of it.
Creativity and imaginativeness are two key characteristics one person should possess when designing. That is why the opportunity Pandora gave to these enthusiasts are very important. It allows the consumers to be creative and to imagine endless possibilities with the use of their products.
If you look at the list of items the company is selling, you will see various parts and pieces that play different roles in the grand design of what your accessory would be. There are clips, charms, locks, clasps, chains, and spacers. You might be familiar with most of these parts since most jewelry are made of them. But there is one component that is not as popular as the rest and that is the spacer.
Now,just what is a spacer? For new Pandora Jewelry enthusiasts, this might be new to you. It is not a common piece or part that you’d find in every jewelry, especially if you are used to wearing silver or gold jewelry. Spacers are commonly used on beaded jewelry. Its purpose is to allow patterns or designs to stand out. It emphasizes the pattern the designer created and sometimes allows the visual components of the design to breathe.
Spacers, as the name implies, creates or allows space to be included in your design.
The problem with beaded bracelets is that it is difficult to define your pattern especially when you don’t know when the pattern starts or ends. It doesn’t matter how nice the pattern you will come up with if it is indistinguishable. It will just be one chaotic group of beads. So to resolve this problem, you could use spacers.
Spacers doesn’t necessarily mean leaving a space open but rather inserting a bead or charm different from the rest that would allow contrast in color or texture to emphasize the end or the beginning of the pattern. It works like a border or a frame.This is an important piece for beaded jewelry especially if you are planning to divide your bracelet design into sections or segments.
So if ever you are planning on creating a Pandora Charms Bracelet, I suggest you try using spacers just so you could create a more visually organized design.

We often hear the term sterling silver but what does it really mean? It’s a common word that only a few people really understand or know the meaning of. A lot of people think that sterling silver is a precious metal made of 100 percent silver. Unfortunately, they are gravely mistaken.
Fine silver, which contains 99.9 percent silver is generally too soft. Yes, it has that luster and ductility that silver is known for but that beauty and elegance will be easily tarnished because of its softness. That is why jewelers and silversmiths add another type of metal to silver to create silver alloys.
Sterling silver, is not fine silver but rather a silver alloy. It is usually made of 92.5% silver and 7.5 % other metal, usually copper. By adding these two metals using this proportion, the metal you will produce will have the same luster, beauty and ductility of fine silver and at the same time, stronger and harder.That is why a lot of jewelries, ornaments and decorations are made of sterling silver.
Pandora Jewelry just like many other jewelers make use of this silver alloy to make its charms. There are available sterling silver charm beads from Pandora. These silver beads possess that durability without the compromising its beauty.
Some might think that by adding copper to silver, the precious metal will have less worth. Therefore these sterling silver charm beads from Pandora should be cheaper compared to fine silver. Well, there is merit to that idea. Although the less purity means less value, we have to consider the craftsmanship exerted to create the item.
Pandora charms aren’t just simple beads. some of their beads have intricate engravings and complex designs. In this respect, a metal harder to engrave, shape or design compared to fine silver, will require more skills to turn it into a beautiful piece of jewelry.
I guess by now, it would be easier for us to appreciate these little sterling silver charms by Pandora knowing that these beads were made with great skill and craftsmanship.

What could be more personalized than having your name on the item?
Since Pandora Jewelry’s concept is personalizing accessories, it is not surprising for them to merchandise letter bead charms. With the use of these letter beads, you can write your name or write a message using the beads. There could be no other way to be more personalized that this.
Pandora’s letter beads charms are made either of purely sterling silver or sterling silver with gold plating. The purely sterling silver beads look very casual and simple while the gold plated ones look playful.
Since these are just letter beads, you could organize them, in any pattern you want as opposed to plates or pendants with words that’s fixed. You could insert different charms in between letter beads or you could add a spacer if you like. You can combine the letter charms with the other charms as accents instead of the subject if you like.
With the letter beads charms, more people with different personalities could be enticed to patronize Pandora Jewelry since they could express or present their distinct character that couldn’t be shown by the present collection of Pandora Charms.
Pandora’s collection of charms as of now is already vast and the concept, character and personality that each charm represents could already be considered ingenious and innovative. With the letter charms, the possibilities of creating adorable patterns and arrangements with specific personalities and characteristics have expanded greatly.
With this contribution to the wide array of charms available, it is only fitting that these letter charms would rank as one of the top selling charms of Pandora.

Gold has been known and desired by many people and cultures since prehistoric times. Many Archeological findings of ancient civilizations would show various tools, weapons, ornaments, decorations and jewelries made of this expensive material.

Lower caratages of gold commonly appear as 22kt, 18kt, 14kt and 10 kt. Pure gold is soft if used for jewelry or decorations. It could be tarnished or damaged easily that is why gold is mixed with different metals to create alloys. These alloys are the lower caratage gold. These gold alloys are, although cheaper than pure gold, sturdier, harder and more durable.
Pandora, in particular makes use of 14kt gold for their charms and chains. 14kt gold contains roughly around 60% gold and 40 % base metal. This means that compared to pure gold, jewelries that Pandora manufactures are a lot more sturdy and durable.
Just as the prehistoric cultures have utilized gold for ornaments, Pandora Jewelries use this mineral for the same purpose. Pandora produces creative, fun and intricate designs out of gold. They produce gold and necklace chains with golden locks and clasps. They also have a multitude of charms and beads that you could combine.
