Alex and Ani or Pandora?

I'm shopping for my niece's sixteenth birthday. Would a girl that age prefer an Alex and Ani bracelet or a Pandora bracelet? Either will be Disney themed as she is a fan. I want her to be really pleased with this gift.

Alex and Ani. I don't see any teens around here wearing Pandora. That's still popular with their moms, lol.

That was my thought to! Glad to have it confirmed! Thank you.

Alex and Ani. Get something with a solid charm though. I have two Alex and Ani. One is a solid metal charm with a design. The other had the design on a plastic disk. It was just glued on the front of the metal charm and fell off after two months.

I am a big Pandora fan, but I really don't like the charm bracelets. I like all of their other stuff!

The quality of Alex and Ani stuff has really gone downhill IMO.

I have this design in a ring and it's one of my favorite pieces.

I'd go Alex & Ani. In my area the Pandora jewelry craze seems to be on the wain. Several local jewelers no longer carry the line; even my MIL has stopped asked for new charms or a new bracelet (which was an easy gift for 3 years at Christmas).

Alex & Ani. I love mine. I now only collect ones from my travels. Just picked up the St. Maarten & the Caribbean ones. Nice to look at the ones that represent places & events. Of course the Disney ones, bought my DGD, 9, her first in WDW.
