Best place to buy Pandora charms?

[Jenny3]

I stuck out at the mall. Any deals online?

I got some great Black Friday deals! Belk had their version (sterling silver) 75% off. Kohls also has their own brand. No, they are not Pandora brand, but my girls like more variety. In fact, on our recent Disney trip, the both bought Chamilla charms, sine they have the contract with Disney.
It's not so much the brand to us, but we want to get the quality too.

I've never seen "deals" on real Pandora charms. Sometimes they have buy x-amount worth of stuff and get a free bracelet, but they don't have sales -- and I've never seen any authorized reseller having sales on Pandora charms, either.

I have bought Pandora charms online from a website called Precious Accents dot com, but not for any less than what they would've cost at the Pandora store.

A family friend of mine got my dad 20% off Pandora charms at Bloomingdales because she works there. If you know anyone who works there, ask them if they can get them for you. However, the selection is limited as it has to be available in the store or on the bloomingdales website.

This gets said on almost every pandora thread, but if you put a non-pandora charm on your bracelet, you can void any warranty for your bracelet you have in place.
Yes you can break your bracelet with a non-pandora bead because the fit / thread is not optimal. Your risk - but if your willing to do it, go for it. I saw a non-pandora bead get stuck on a pandora bracelet. Those bracelets are too expensive to risk it in my opinion - especially when you can get the real deal around 30 bucks or so.

I sent OP a coupon code for 10% off at Bloomingdales. It works on Pandora charms! The code is a birthday coupon code sent to my husband but we don't need it. If you use your Bloomingdales credit card, you get 15% off! So if anyone has such a coupon, just so you know, you can use it for Pandora charms! My sister just used one to purchase my mother a charm for her 60th birthday! She saved $6.50 and got free shipping for a $45 charm!

If it is a risk you are willing to take, it is your choice.

But Pandora will not help you if you break/ruin your bracelet by putting non-Pandora charms on it. Pandora charms and bracelets are 100% guaranteed, until you put something non-Pandora on them.

Thanks all for the info! And the PM

I found the list of official retailers online and got one the other day. I was very surprised that out of the hundreds of charms they have, they don't have one for "sister"! Kinda bummed about that

Unless a charm gets stuck on a bracelet and you need them to remove it, how would they know?

I have a bracelet break. I took all the charms off before I took to the jeweler. They replaced it without a word.

That said, I did end up eventually buying a Chamilia bracelet for my Disney charms. I had a few charms that didn't slide easily over the stoppers on my Pandora bracelet.

They won't.

I would be willing to risk it if there was a non Pandora charm that I really wanted to wear. It's a 30.00 bracelet with a one year warranty. To be it's not a big deal.

Exactly. So their disclaimer about a voided warranty is pretty worthless.

I bought my wife a Pandora bracelet WAY back in 2006 - and the best deal I have ever found on Pandora products was on our 2010 cruise to the eastern Caribbean.

There was a Pandora store in St. Martin - I bought a bunch of beads, and the new (at that time) earrings for less than I paid for a couple of beads at home.

I know that's a distance to go for a good deal - but it's something to keep in mind if you are planning a cruise! Leave some room in the budget for Pandora! No need to leave room in the luggage... all their stuff is tiny! HAHA
