I recieved my pandora bracelet as a Christmas gift two years ago, I believe that it was £50 at the time, they now retail for £60.
Mine is the 19inch, they also come in 17,18,19,20, 21 and 23 inches. The only disapointment that I have with my bracelet is that it has stretched a bit, and if anything is now bordering on slightly too big. I wish that the sales assistant had told me that they do stretch over time, and with the weight of the charms on them, as I probably would have gone for the 18inch in that case.
However the stretching aside, I love it. Each pandora bracelet is unique to the owner as you add more and more charms to create your own customized bracelet. I'm enjoying adding charms for special occasions, charms that mean something to me, and that I can look back and remember why where and when I got them.
A Pandora bracelet is an ideal gift for someone too. I've just bought my GodDaughter one for her 21st, along with three charms - one for her 21st, the gift wrapped parcel - one for Christmas, the snowman - and one to celebrate the birth of her first baby, the pram.
My bracelet is over two years old now and has not tarnished or discoloured, it still looks as good as new. I have 12 charms on it so far, with room for probably another six to nine, depending on the size of the charms that I choose. It looks lovely on and I wear it all the time. I do however take it off if I will have my hands in water.
It is easy enough to open and close it yourself once you get the knack, you just insert your fingernail in the barrel clasp to open it, and push the barrel clasp together to close it.
