pandora charms -Today I thought I’d take a look at the process that the little charms on our wrists go through to get to our bracelets! I haven’t done a post like this in a while, what with all the Spring and Summer news trickling in, but Pandora just released a pretty fun new video covering the creation of the Vintage Lace charm - from conception in Copenhagen to production in Thailand.

This made me realise that I hadn’t actually done a blog post on how Pandora charms are made - so that’s what I’m doing today. I thought it would be fun to stop and appreciate how much work has gone into the charms we already own! I’ve included the new video in this post, alongside some more information about how the charms are made.

Where and how are Pandora charms made?

-I find this fascinating. Pandora is, admittedly, very popular the world over and the charms are produced in significant quantities. This means that it’s often tempting (or so I find) to think that the charms are entirely made via a conveyor-belt process, and so the craftsmanship behind each charm becomes a little lost. It’s incredible to think that every single Pandora piece, no matter how many of them there are, have gone through that painstaking process.

Charm Variation

Personally, I’ve always liked this, as it makes a charm feel a bit more yours and suggests the high level of individual craftsmanship that goes into each piece. However, I do like to go and pick mine out in person, just to make sure that I’m happy with the one I’ve chosen!
