What It Costs
There are endless choices when it comes to designing a Pandora bracelet. With about 600 Pandora charms to choose from, and new designs being released four times a year, there are always new styles to match your heart’s dearest desire. Just keep in mind that each new charm is likely to come at a hefty price (which should be about the same regardless of where you shop, whether in a retail store or online).
Here is a sampling of what you might expect to pay for each item when you start creating your Pandora bracelet design:
- Silver bracelet: $50
- Silver bracelet with 14K clasp: $230
- Gold bracelet with clasp: $1,250
- Silver charm: $15 to $80 each
- Gold charm: $180 each
- Murano glass bead with silver: $30
- Murano glass bead with gold: $180
- Silver spacer: $15 to $65
- Gold spacer: $75 to $180
- Clip charm: $25 for silver and up to $200 for gold
The Bottom Line
If you want to buy a bracelet already put together, you should understand that Pandora jewelry designs come at a wide range of price points. For instance, on the low end, a very simple sterling silver starter bracelet with five basic charms runs about $175. This minimal design allows plenty of room to add your own beads choices over time. If you have more money to spend and want a bracelet already filled end to end with a mix of silver and Murano glass beads, such a colorful rainbow design costs will be in the mid-range, coming in at about $860. On the high end of the price spectrum, a confirmation bracelet that features 14K gold accents and Murano glass sells for $2,605.
So you can expect to spend anywhere from $175 for a basic sterling silver bracelet with a few silver charms to close to $3,000 or even more for a bracelet complete with the full works in 14K gold and Murano glass.
All For A Good Cause
In 2008, Pandora released the One World Health Charm in conjunction with The Institute for OneWorld Health, a nonprofit pharmaceutical company that develops medication for third-world countries. The sterling silver charm, which is accented with a 14K gold design, is available at most retailers who sell the bracelets and cost $80. For each charm sold, $20 of the price is donated to the charity. This means you can treat yourself and support a worthy cause at the same time.
