Chamilia Charms

September 17, 2009

If you are looking for an alternative style charm bracelet and jewelry set, one that you might be interested in is the Chamilia Charms.  Very similar to Pandora style jewelry, the Chamilia beads are made from similar material including Sterling Silver, Gold, Gold on Silver, and Murano and Enamel beads.

They are slightly cheaper overall than the Pandora line, and don’t carry beads with precious stones either.  Aside from that, they do have some absolutely charming Chamilia charms that can be added to a bracelet, either for appearance sake only, or to signify a special occasion or time that is worth remembering.

They are also great to give for gifts. You can either give a completed bracelet, or if your budget is a bit tight, they look every bit as good with just three or four charms on a bracelet, given as a starter bracelet. They also have a complete range of Disney charms, which feature different Disney characters on the charms.

Delightful gifts for women of any age, and not too expensive, they are definitely worth looking at if you’re trying to think of a suitable gift for a women.  You can also order them online which makes the whole buying process quite quick and simple.

Limited Edition of Pandora Grape Charm

June 12, 2009

Just found out that the newly Spring released Pandora Grape Charm will not be released again.  In other words, after the charms are sold out they will not be produced again, but will be ‘retired’.

What does this mean? Well, if you’re interested in purchasing one of these lovely charms you’d better do so pretty soon, otherwise you may find that they are no longer around.  Stocks in some jewelers are already getting low, as the demand for this particular Pandora charm has been quite a bit higher than originally expected.

The Pandora Grape Charm retails for about $40, though if it truly does become a ‘retired bead’ you may find that prices go up, if you are even able to find one.

A recap on the bead: It’s made from Sterling Silver, with either a green peridot stone or a purple amethyst stone hanging from the charm.  The actual bead itself features a grape vine with a bunch of grapes on it, as the design. Very pretty, and it would look good on any Pandora Charm Bracelet.

So, if you’re seriously considering getting a Pandora Grape Charm for yourself, you’d better hurry up.  They’re not even that easy to order online anymore, so you may have to physically go to your favorite Pandora jewelry shop to get yours.

Pandora Grape Charm

May 25, 2009

I really don’t know why people like to hang food related charms on their Pandora charm bracelets. I suppose everyone is different, and people of course always have different tastes and preferences, but for me I really am not the least bit interested in adding a food-related charm to my bracelet.

Well, there’s on exception to that I suppose. I was just checking out the local Pandora Spring charm releases and I noticed that they have a very nice sterling silver Pandora grape charm. There’s two different choices, you can either choose one with a green semi-precious stone, or one with a light purple semi-precious stone, which I suppose is meant to signify either green or purple grapes.

The purple stone is an amethyst and the green stone a Peridot.  They are both attached to the charm itself with a small silver chain.

Anyway, aside from that one charm I really find the idea of hanging food-related items around my wrist rather distasteful.  In fact, when it comes to Pandora charm bracelets, my favourite charms are those that look nothing like real things. Isn’t that weird?
