Most Pandora charms are threaded, meaning that to get them onto the bracelet you have to twist them on, or wind them around till they go onto the bracelet and are in the position you want them to be in. If it is your first time buying and wearing a Pandora bracelet, you might want to ask the jewelry shop you bought them from for any tips they have on adding to the bracelet, and while you’re at it, tips on how to best care for your bracelet and charms as well. Some beads can just slip onto the bracelet.
If you like mixing brands of charms, make sure what you buy can fit onto your Pandora bracelet. For example, Love Link beads are quite popular now, and they can actually fit right onto a Pandora bracelet (though Pandora beads won’t fit on a Love Link bracelet.) Chamilia beads, however, won’t fit on a Pandora chain. And then there are a lot of ‘imitation’ Pandora charms and other charms on the market as well, some of them very nice looking too. Just make sure if you buy a non-genuine Pandora charm that it will indeed fit on your Pandora bracelet or you may be left with charms that just won’t fit.

Summer charms abound amongst the Pandora collection. Perhaps you want something light and fun, and you want to major on colors for your summer look. If that’s the case, there are a lot of summery colored beads that you can add on to your bracelet, to give it a summery look and feel.
If you’re looking for specific beads here are a few ideas. Summer always reminds me of the beach and the ocean. Adding beach or ocean related beads to your Pandora charm bracelet is a great way to come up with a summer bracelet. Some of the beads you can add include the silver rope with gold anchor bead, or the silver sea shell with gold starfish bead. Both of these beads have a base of Sterling silver with a gold addition, and they look great! Then there’s the silver octopus and the silver dolphin. Then, if you really wanted to, you could include the fishbones!
The silver treasure chest reminds me more of pirates, but it could fit on a summer bracelet. There’s also a rather interesting silver blow-fish as well. Oh and let’s not forget the silver flip-flops, a must for any beach-goer.
Thinking about flowers and spring and nature instead? There is an abundance of flower charms to choose from–too many to list here. Perhaps you might want to use the butterfly, or the bee, or the ladybug?
As you can see, there are a lot of beads to choose from for your summer Pandora charm bracelet.

If you’re looking for the ideal gift for a woman in your life, why not check out the latest Pandora charms. There’s definitely something for everyone when it comes to Pandora Jewelry. Some of my favorites are the newer charms, particularly the really cute Pandora grape charms that have been released as a limited release only. What does that mean? It means that once stocks of this particular charm sell out they won’t be producing any more. So, if you’re at all interested in this charm I’d suggest that you head off to your Pandora jeweller and check it out now.
When it comes to Pandora charms, I tend to prefer the silver, or gold and silver mix charms. I’m not so keen on the all silver, or even all gold charms (perhaps it has something to do with the cost of the gold charms!) but I find the way they mix the silver and gold to make a very unique bead is quite interesting.
