Pandora vs. Thomas Sabo!

Before purchasing my Pandora bracelet, I had to debate with myself whether it was worth it, because I already owned a Thomas Sabo. There were a lot of questions that went through my mind before I ended up purchasing one! Did I really need another charm bracelet? Was it worth it? 

The Bracelet

Firstly, I thought about the actual bracelet. The Thomas Sabo, which is a very pretty bracelet, which seems very unique, although there is a lot of fake look-a-likes available from retailers like 'Claires'. On the other hand, the same can be said about Pandoras. I think Pandora's are very simplistic, but effective. Both bracelets seem effective, but I think the Pandora can be put with any outfit! Also, the Pandora is measured to fit your arm, instead of being one size. This does seem to cause a problem however, as if you're losing weight like me, your bracelet tends to get too big!!

The Charms

Now, a big thing for me was the charms, I wanted pretty, and affordable charms. Personally, I think the Thomas Sabo charms are the most affordable charms on the market, and there is also a huge array of different designs. The same goes for Pandora, although the charms can be pretty pricey. My secret to charm bracelets is eBay! There is no better idea than to go and search on eBay for Pandora and Thomas Sabo charms! Charms which are meant to be £70 are for sale for at least £19! Yes, they're second hand, but who can say no to a cheap, genuine charm?! Another positive point of Pandora bracelets, is they fit many other charms from other brands, such as 'Chamilia'! You can also buy fake charms, which I am pretty guilty of doing! Although it isn't recommended, they're the answer to all of your charm bracelet prayers! The cupcake charm (£4 from Avon) and Bambi charm (£2.99 from eBay) on my Thomas Sabo are both fake Thomas Sabo's and fit lovely, and I don't think you can tell them from the real charms! 

After debating for a while, I couldn't help myself but to buy myself a Pandora. I think it was definitely worth it, as now I can ask for charms for my Birthday, Christmas, and special occasions, and they will always remind me of the memories of that day. 

Do you own a Pandora or Thomas Sabo, or are you planning on buying one?
