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.

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.
