    I am so glad you have recovered, are healthy and back with your sharp mind and wit in tact! I was not aware of the issues with the Pandora knock offs. Makes sence since many of the bracelets and charms are a little pricey. God bless you sweet lady and pray for your continued health. Sherry from Alabama.

    Pandora have retired lots of charms and then brought out a new version which is slightly different, so there are differences if you find a retired charm and try to compare it to a new one you might think it's fake when it isn't. Examples of this are the ghost, the pumpkin, the horseshoe, the teacup,teapots and I'm sure there are others.Oh I know, the four leaf clover - the original has green (or red ) enamel, the recent one has pave.

    Sometimes ( to the best of my knowledge) the ALE can be inside where the threading is, also before 2011 the bracelet didnt have the crown, also stamping/writing may be shallow due to wear.

    I buy a lot of charms off of Etsy , pretty sure they are not authentic but the quality from some of the sellers is superb and you cannot tell the difference .
    The cost of living crisis is hard , never feel bad if you can’t afford the real thing . For me I cannot justify spending £50-60 on a singular charm

    also, Pandora's stones are held by little prongs, just like a diamond ring, or beveled in (like a ring of the metal around the stone). They aren't just glued on. Even though Poshmark says it's verified authentic, buyer *beware*! I've gotten a few, albeit very good, knockoffs. It makes me more aware of just how many are out there, and what to look for. 1st rule for the murano glass beads is, the cores are essentially one piece all the way through, and the shape is consistant through the years.

    I had several of the same charm purchased on resale sites…all looked 100% authentic until I laid them all side by side…1 of the 4 was smaller than the other 3…this is because makers who sell fakes often use real charms to make a mold for their fakes and the resulting charms made with this mold will be just a tad smaller…sneaky!

    If you are a Pandora addict, you can easily spot fakes a mile away. It is quite easy once you know what to look for. They'll often be the wrong size, colour, shape, and have dodgy stamping. If you are buying second hand, buy from a reputable seller and one that has lots of photos from all angles. Those sellers which only have 1 or 2 pics with an all white background... they're likely to be fakes so buyer beware.

      I have taken items to be authenticated, mostly vintage charms..the young salesgirls are hired as ‘warm bodies’, not as experts on PANDORA and they simple don’t recognise vintage PANDORA nor do they have the training to authenticate older pieces…their guess is a s good as mine…so that is a waste of time as far as I’m concerned.

      Thats not true, the fact the price is lower doesnt mean the charm is fake, its the real price. Maybe you are not aware of the fact of Pandora increasing the price of the piece twice more expensive than its real price.

    These charms dont cost more than 15-20$ and they sell It for 50-80$
    Tell me if thats normal...at least if you pay a lower price you get the real price ,not increased and the details between fake and authentic are minimal, most of times its a idéntical copy but with the right price,so where is the problem?
    So dont be so wise girl and get your facts straight and instead of accusing those selling " fake " jewelry, accuse Pandora about selling pieces increasing the price out of proportion.

It’s fine to sell charms that are “in the style of” but if it has fake marks and is trying to look authentic, I wouldn’t try to sell it. Not worth it. And if you do decide to get your money back, don’t send them the fakes back so they can resell them to some other poor unsuspecting soul. Tell them they’re illegal so you destroyed them! Big giant FAIL for goodwill.
