Pandora Bracelets and Bangles

Before one can start selecting Pandora charm bracelet charms, one must have a bracelet. And guys, if you are making this bracelet for your better half, your mother, or a girlfriend, do yourself a favor and do not go out and find one of those pre-made Pandora bracelets. Unless you know for a fact, that is what she wants. Most men may feel a bit funny making jewelry, or selecting beads and charms, but if you take the time and put in the effort selecting each piece, it will mean so much more to her and to you.

The most common bracelet selected for this task is the Windsor Sterling, Barrel Clasp Closure, Silver Plated Bracelet. (They offer a Buy One Get One Free special.) The barrel clasp makes it simple to undo and allows for easy placement of charms and beads.

The other popular choice is the leather pandora bracelet. Light, fashionable, and relatively inexpensive, the leather bracelet can be the most desirable selection for a charm bracelet.

The next item on your list should be a "Stopper Bead". I recommend getting at least two per bracelet. This is the bead that has a plastic inner lining, or it clamps on, to secure the rest of the beads and charms in place.

It helps keeps them from moving around too much or from falling off altogether. Just place one on each end of your charms and it will keep them together. If you only get one, place it at the end of your other charms and it should keep them from falling off when the bracelet, or bangle, is removed.

One of the things that makes these bracelets so fun is that they are so changeable. You can have one set of charms and beads on it to match what your doing today and totally change it to something else for tomorrow.

It helps to have a lot of beads and charms on hand to be able to do this. One of the best ways to have a lot of them at hand is to buy some Pandora beads and charms in bulk. Wholesale lots are available as well. If you are looking for cheap Pandora beads and charms it is best to buy them in bulk.

This way you can change out your design at any time. With a bulk lot, or wholesale lot, of beads and or charms, you can have an infinite amount of bracelet designs and configurations.

These bulk lots are great for kids and jewelry makers.
