| Pandora Style Rose Chintz Bracelet By DJAjewels |
I recently have made a couple of the popular "Pandora Style" bracelets. Although they are not a big part of my line, I felt the need to at least design a couple of pieces because of their immense popularity. And so, I became interested in the origins of the Pandora® jewelry line.
Pandora style jewelry is also called "European Style" jewelry because the Pandora line originated in Denmark and was initially a European trend. Pandora introduced its first bracelet in Denmark in 1999, and the style quickly became popular across Europe. By 2002, the brand arrived in the United States where its popularity also quickly spread.
The name for the Pandora® line was inspired by Greek mythology goddess Pandora. Of course, now there are many "Pandora Style" designs not made by Pandora® but created in the same or similar style. It is important to recognize whether you are purchasing an actual Pandora product or a design inspired by their line. An actual Pandora® piece of jewelry is, of course, going to cost more than a "Pandora inspired" piece.
The unique style of Pandora® and Pandora inspired jewelry allows the wearer to create a unique design by choosing individual charms and beads. The design is customizable as beads can be added, removed, moved about on the bracelet. The design can be completely individualized because the clasp/closure allows the large hole beads to be added and removed so easily.
So whether you are looking for an actual Pandora® piece of jewelry or want to experiment with a Pandora style piece, go ahead and have fun creating your own original design. There are many sellers on ArtFire, Etsy and elsewhere that offer a wide variety of beads and components. You can also purchase a fully beaded design - for a look at my designs, click here!
