Thanks so much! I'm new to Pandora. I saw a charm on ebay I wanted but after using your tips and checking an offical photo it was obvious to see it was not genuine Pandora. Thanks again!

A newbie like me needs some helpful tips from you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Kathleen! You have a great eye and are so knowledgeable. I really needed to see this because I basically get most of mine for right now at least second hand. I have some great sources but every now and then you take a chance.

There's plenty of fakes on eBay that makes it impossible to find authentic charms. Many sellers that sell fake charms have almost a 100% review because a lot of people think they're getting a good deal.

I just recently started collecting Pandora. I just posted my newest haul. Thank you for the video!! Definitely helpful!

WOW!! You have amazing attention to detail! This is SUCH a wonderful video! I will be sharing it for sure! A must see! Thank you for making this!!

I really really really want your teacup charm to be authentic! I rewinded a lot and compared to mine (also bought at a store) and they look super similar!

Thanks for sharing , wow you're really good to find out if it's fake or not !!!!

Hi Panda! What a beautiful bracelet! Love the hint of color that compliments the gold. God bless!

Hello, love the video! Thank you. I wanted to address something I came across in your video, I was in a Pandora Store: The lady did have trouble putting the charm on the bracelet and said it can happen from time to time. I definitely agree to purchase from Pandora.

OMG, thanks for your information. I just got a bracelet from Pandora physical store and was shopping for charms online but not anymore. I will get them at the Pandora store. :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on authentic or fake Pandor🌺🐞

I just went and looked at my queen bee after seeing this. I bought her at a concept store so she’s for sure authentic. The crown is the same as yours. 6 points and not rounded the frog prince. But i do have a clear stamp on the bottom.

I've had a defected Pandora charm that I received actually a couple of months ago off of the Pandora store (collected from the official store in person). I actually just decided to keep it because I found it pretty fascinating that one slipped through the net! But it was another one (I already owned one that I also bought and collected in an official store) of the glow-in-the-dark pumpkin as I wanted it symmetrical. The hole on one side is bigger than normal. Just a bit, but you can tell it's a mistake on the hole sizing (it's only on one side too) as the charm sits ever so slightly off balance but I just thought it was unique.

Thank you so much, I recently paid about $350 for a full pandora set on poshmark. It was fake...So I put in a claim to refund it. I'm probably just going to save until I can buy it legit

That is why I ALWAYS order directly from their website or from their actual stores. I don’t care about their prices being high. I want my money’s worth!

Very helpful video. Thank you.

My tracup charm has the beveling ontop. I dont wear it really. I bought the same bracelet you got from Rue lala and was so excites bc that bracelet is retired and i never see it on any sites not authorized dealer sites anyways. I was blown away rue lala finally got them. I bough two, one 7.9 and a 7.5. I would rather have two bc the snake chain bracelets do stretch over time and lose their shape. This was a huge one on my wish list.

Hi, I just purchased the pandora cross anchor charm that I see on your bracelet in the video. It is smaller than my other charms. However, I don’t actually have a charm of the same shape to compare, only the unicorn and the stack of books with the owl and study on it. Can you please help me? Is the charm with the anchor, heart, and cross uniform in size to the rest of your charms, or is it slightly smaller? Thanks!

sometimes beads dont thread, ive had a few real ones like that, and sometimes it depends on the bracelet

wow you hav alot of charms and they're all cute

I have currently got 2 pandora bracelets right now but mine are real from the pandora store and one for my last birthday! But this is so interesting how they look so real when they are not 🤯

It's precisely why..my guy/I only purchase directly from the store. They keep a record of it and have replaced a pave' clipped bracelet of mine! 🤗. They will also replace broken charms if needed! 😊

When you initiated your claim with poshmark how did you express all that information to them?

The oxidised bracelet if that just a bracket that’s gonna black from being tarnished or do you buy them new like?

I know this video is now 3 years old, but I have a question. I just started collecting and bought a bracelet, two clips, and a charm directly from Pandora on their Black Friday sale. Neither the clips nor charm have any sort of stamping on it. Nothing that says Pandora, the crown, the ALE, or anything. I bought was Sweet Tree Monster (love him) and I got the Flower Patter Clip Charm (2 of them). I bought directly from Pandora I know they are real. So now I don't know what to use as a basis for comparison. Especially since many charms aren't threaded now. Any advice for the newer collectors with the newer charms?

Thank you! Good to know👍

The fake one is prettier for sure

What is your poshmark? I would love to buy from you

Do Pandora bracelets have magnetic clasps? Specifically, the classic barrel clasp.

This is why I only buy them at the store, nothing second hand or Ebay... This is the only way to be sure that the stock is real. After been scamed on Ebay with a purple shimmering murano charm. I bring it at the store and realized that the shimmers was not the same at all and real one was way more sparkly and the fake was dull. I only lost $18 but it's frustating anyway. I prefer to pay the higher possible price but not to be scammed.

If you're so concerned with making sure it's "real" go to the store. I think it's sad that you're so concerned about it being "real", what difference does it make? You can send all your fake charms to me, I'll be happy with them!

Would you be interested in a teacup or rose charm?

What about in the leather necklaces the clasp on mine seems very light

I want to buy my daughter a pandora ring from eBay. How will I know if it’s the real McCoy?? What question would I ask the buyer to catch them out. So that I know that their reply will be valid to the item. Wow! Thank you for showing this. That’s a good point. If they’re selling them in bulk. That should send alarm bells ringing. Are all pandora rings stamped?

Can u help me please, I want to buy one but can't tell if it's fake

I ordered from charms from Etsy and they were fake. I was so disappointed. Thank you for this video. I’m going to to purchase from a retailer from now on.

If you order from Pandora's Box online you can see the markings for the 925 very lightly but right now I'm questioning whether I even got a real or a fake from the store online does anybody know anything about the Pandora's Box online?

I have the teacup, one of my very first charms, yours looks like the real deal

Oh I don't know about you but I'd collect the fake ones as well for comparison to the real ones, like example pieces to have ready when looking for genuine ones

Thank u amazing video

Anyone know a website where we can see maybe a catalog of true pandora charms ?? So we can compare and all that

My frog and bee is the same as your except my bee has the stamping but I think your bee is authentic. I think yours is real. The crown is different on the bee than the frog. They don't have the same crown. Other crowned charms are different as well.

Just a comment as far as weather defective charms can slip through on Pandora...I was buying a dangle recently that has 4 keys hanging down that spell out LOVE....these spelled LVOE! I brought it to the attention of the manager and she said...’yep, it’s a defective charm’ and set it aside. It does happen on occasion and it can still be authentic. Also, the Queen Bee’s crown on stock photos does look different than the crown on the fish or frog prince....no little ‘balls’ on the crown tips. Here’s hoping yours is authentic. I have heard they will authenticate pieces in store but when I went there were 4 young SA’s and none of them agreed with each other on details but were all quick to say mine were real because they were stamped correctly...so I don’t know whether all employees are experienced enough that you can trust their authentication ability.

I love fake pandoras! 😍

what about the stamp in the bracelet was there S925 ALE

Hi, this is a really helpful video, thank you

I have both the frog prince and queen bee. They were both bought at pandora stores and the crowns are different.

Your rose charm might still be authentic but defective. My watermelon charm which I bought at an pandora outlet doesnt fit on one side and the other side is very tight also. I almost have to force it in each time.

I recently purchased some pandora jewelry, can I send you pictures of it for help authenticating as stores are closed right now?

I need help knowing if a Ferris Wheel is real or fake.

The barrel clasp in my wife bracelet doesn’t say ALE & it’s magnetic. The bracelet itself is not magnetic & has good weight. Can it be a fake? It was a gift from a coworker that came with an authentic charm.

I just bought the same bracelet from a real store that closed but now selling on eBay. The bracelet came in a bag with the stickers/ tags and receipt. It's for Christmas. I got it out and used your video to compare. I've got a good one. Ticked all your checks. Even found the tiny stamp inside the clasp. Another thing I've picked up with fakes is there's often no gap between the s and 925. Although some newer fakes seem to have worked that out. Sometimes one edge can be warn more as it depends what charms were rubbing on their bracelet. But you are right. Sometimes you just can't get rid of that nagging feeling. Your fake bracelet sounds tinny too. Great review.

Hello maybe you can help me I bought a lock your promise clip from someone and not only can I not find the 925 stamp but I can’t clip it on the clip station on my bracelet. The person I bought it from told me that the clip is not made to clip on the clip grove I am to clip it on to the smooth part of the bracelet which I find strange. They also told me that not all pandora have the 925 stamp which I also find strange. Do you have one of these clips is your possession that you can verify this for me please?

Do you realize,the rose charms have also the swirl in opposit direktions 😳🤣❤🙋‍♀️

I just received some fake pandora charms from Etsy that I am returning tomorrow. My thing is why are they promoting the items as authentic rather than Pandora dupes? I’m sure there are some people who may not mind having dupes but for those of us who are seeking genuine pieces that more than likely are not available anymore by Pandora or the authorized retailers, we shouldn’t have to deal with the scamming sellers trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents 🤬 Going forward, I’m just going to stick with Pandora and the authorized retailers for any retired or hard to come by pieces.

I’m trying to buy a Pandora for cheap for Mother’s Day and I don’t know if it’s real or not.

I CARE TOO 😱!!!

Hey just so you know you do not need to send counterfeit back , it’s illegal actually and they can’t require you to do it . Just purchased a lot on eBay all really good fakes and was told not to send it back and to dispose of it

Omg it doesn’t even go on!

I bought my queen bee from an official Pandora dealer years ago and the crown looks exactly like yours. I don’t think yours is fake.

Thank you,I almost got ripped off

Queen bee ( 790227 pandora cat no) original does not hAve big lumpy kinda dots on each bit of crown, not like frog prince , not at least in Nordstrom pics from years ago. Not on catalogue pic, but tiny dots which would wear easily . Maybe the ale s925 wore away ? I’d like to know exactly how authentic ale 925 looks on it myself , if you have real one please let me know, like is 925 and Ale ment to be as:me size ? Or can one be smaller etc ? Can early ones have less perfect stamps or not ? Hard authenticating some, most are fairly easy to spot but this one has sooo many fakes. Lastly just check stamp area under iPad camera, I’ve had no eyes to see stamp until I looked with that then I could see it just faint we’re so old ,Great video.

In my personal opinion to be honest, I don’t really care if something from Pandora is real or fake jewelry piece or Chime because each person is different and what they can afford some people who work not very expensive jobs like airport, jobs or whatever they might only afford the fake stuff because the real stuff is a lot more expensive. Do you know what I mean?

Thank you. I just got cheated online in Japan,

They using the spot to cover the smudge cavity 😭

well i got mine from pandora store •-• sadly my mom only got me one charm😪😖

I will only buy mine from pandora itself I wouldn't ever get second hand 1s I want mine to be real not fake x

Yeah they will give thousands excuses... I bought authentic pandora ring at the counter

You do not completely screw on the fake charm

Pandora trinkets are virtually valueless folks,

I just received a Primrose clip charm, to replace one that I lost, from an ebay "authentic" Pandora vendor. I'm pretty sure it's a fake. {sad face}

Yeah rose is sus, why it won’t thred on very odd. Since it would have only slid about on a bracelet it seems bit weird. Maybe someone busted thred but more likely a fake , aww sorry Hun. Hope u get money back. I’ve been lucky up to this week managed to just get good retired charms of 100% sellers on eBay. Checked them seem good , but this week two fakes ! Jarry queuing to return etc, arguments with sellers determined to be nasty coz u spot what they have done, I just keep polite and return. We all have a day wen pic looks ok and we just don’t check properly and go oh dear as soon as we open envelope. It’s not nice coz collectors love their pieces and get excited to get a new one, or new to us lol.
