Is Pandora Jewelry Real 

Pandora always strikes me as an overpriced trinket. I might be wrong, so i'll watch this.

I work at a Pandora store, so it was absolutely no surprise for me that you approve the quality of the jewellery. I must admit I would be very interested in testing of other brands that sell "Pandora like" charms and bracelets cheaper, such as Gnoce. I actually can't imagine that the quality is as good and I think it would be nice to see a comparison

I've put acid directly onto items to see if there was a correct silver content. On true silver items, the dull silvery mark left by the acid can be removed with silver polish and and some elbow grease. If plated, then the mark is there forever. A word about magnets and silver: Some Pandora jewelry uses a lobster clasp. Inside the lobster clasp is a piece of base metal used to operate the clasp mechanism. That little piece of metal WILL attract a magnet. The same applies to gold jewelry utilizing a lobster clasp.

I think there's better jewellery available for the price point. My mum and daughter both have silver Pandora bracelets and only get their charms from the Pandora store. I didn't think much of the earrings my daughter wanted from the store either but bought them for her anyway. She only wanted them because they were Pandora and lost one immediately. I replaced them with some studs a fraction of the cost with real gemstones that she loves. You're paying for the brand name, like many things.

This makes me feel so much better about the stupid amount of money I have spent on Pandora ☺️ - also just found your channel and LOVE it, well done on this vid hitting that algorithm!

I've been collecting Pandora and other .925 European style charms, for about 15 years, since before it was popular. I use these same tests (except for cutting) to make sure I've bought solid sterling jewelry. The cheap Chinese knock-offs are generally magnetic. I'm so glad someone has done a video like this! Well done, great instruction!

Beneficial information. Been collecting Pandora for 15 years so this makes me feel a little better about the money I've spent.

I gasped when you cut that bracelet and almost cried during the acid test but thanks for confirming

In the UK there are strict hallmarking regulations on jewellery. Pandora's jewellery is silver, some mechanical parts may have exemptions!

I always just thought pandora was a sentimental thing more than anything like I love Star Wars so my parents and family and myself get parts of that collection for birthdays / Christmas etc and each piece is connected to a special memory of someone or something . Never thought the jewellery ever really had much value

As a Dane I was, at first, violated by the mistrust towards Pandora Jewelry! But then I thought with all those replica out there it can be hard to tell the difference! So to make sure you'll get Pandora Jewelry when purchasing Pandora, always go to a licensed store! I too have both silver and gold bracelets, all bought here in Denmark, so I have no doubts about the authenticity! 🇩🇰

Have an opinion whether Pandora Jewelry is worth it? Then join the discussion on this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1-0WnVY43t0.html Was this video helpful to you?! Any other jewelry piece you'd like me to test? :)

I always wondered if Pandora was really worth the price. I guess I don’t have to wonder anymore. Thank you!

As a massive pandora fan, my heart was breaking every time you damaged a piece! 😭😭

I'm a true Pandora freak! Been collecting since 08 and have over ten bracelets and bangles all full of charms and several more with single charms and pendants. I've got earrings, rings, chains, silver, gold and rose, none have ever broken, lost stones, or warped, I find it great quality! Thanks for this assurance, great vid!

Whew! Love Pandora so I’m happy to see these results. TFS! ❤

The test was certainly helpful and nice to know that Pandora is of good quality. Actually I was sure of that.😉 The jewels are simply gorgeous and well made! Even have several jewels from Pandora. Got my first charm bracelet a 20 years ago and it is still beautiful. Love my Pandora jewels. Yet it was painful to watch you cut the bracelet and process it with acid, but this was all for a good cause!😉 Thank you!🙂

Thank goodness I'm buying more charms to my first bracelet. Thank you for sharing this information. Merry Christmas

Easy for me to know if something is made of cheap metals, I'm allergic to cheap metals. If I wear something that is not 92.5% silver, gold or titanium, my skin will either turn green or I will get contact dermatitis from it, and sometimes both. And it's not only jewelries, it's hair accessories, belt buckles, even the metal piece inside jeans button, and metal eye glasses.

I just like Pandora because each piece is a moment. I have collected two bracelets full of memories over a span of 5 years. You don’t need to buy a full set at once.

Yes, Pandora jewelry is wonderfully made and garunteed. The ONLY way to make sure your Pandora jewelry it self IS authentic Pandora, is to buy it from a Pandora Store.

I love this! Please test more brands!

I think the better question is, “Is your authentic Pandora jewelry worth the sticker price?”

As a new charm collector of Pandora, your video is just right for me, i learned a lot! Thanks for sharing your video!

I appreciate these types of videos!

Great video! Very informative 🙌🏻❤

I have been wearing my Pandora bracelets 24/7 for over three years and they look as good as new.

Just wanted to mention that hardware companies now allow sending in a photo of a key to make a copy- just wanted to make sure you know since your keys are shown in the video!

Thank you, I have two pandora bracelets and many charms which I love so it’s reassuring to know they are genuine.

Thank you for doing this video. I always wondered if their jewellery was in fact sterling silver. Very reassuring to know that it is.

thank you for doing all this work

I own a jewelry shop and defiling jewelry is part of my daily tasks. Suppliers tell us what the jewelry is made of but I always still need proof through my own tests. It’s painful to cut through, file or destroy them but after the tests it feels good to know if it’s quality material or just fashion jewelry.

that's why Pandora is my favorite jewelry brand. I started to buy it in 2016 and my first items are still in very good condition despite wearing it almost everyday !

you can repolish the areas that you acid tested. they have just basically become etched and polishing them will bring back the lustre for the most part, or as mentioned before, at minimum trade them in to a gold and silver dealer to get scrap value back so that you get something out of it.

Pandora fan here. I fell in love with the brand and continue to love them even now. Some things have been discontinued though which is sad. It feels so reassuring to see your video. The prices are ,not to sound disrespectful,normal if you want quality and from my previous pandora purchases I can say they are . ❤

The materials aren’t to only thing that matters though. Silver is actually pretty cheap at least compared to other metals often used in jewelry. I’m guessing those bracelets probably cost over 100$ but they only have about 10$ of silver in them. What really matters in jewelry is the quality that comes from it being hand made and checked after every step. Which for pandora just isn’t the case I think. So even though it’s real silver that doesn’t make it good jewelry and you’re still over paying when you buy it.

I'd like to see pandora dupes recommendation. that is, quality sterling or sterling gold-plated pieces that are more affordable

This is great to know that Pandora bracelet are a good quality of jewelry. I received a Pandora Bracelet as a gift recently and love it now I can purchase beautiful charms.

Dude! The ice test worked perfectly!

Thanks for doing this man. I just dropped $400 yesterday on a some charms and a bracelet for my mother and thought to myself is this stuff even worth it. I couldn’t believe I was spending $70 on a little light house. 😂 It’s for mom so it’s all good. Glad to see the jewelry will hold up.

Pandora is Danish. In Denmark we have an extremely high level of consumer protection, and production quality verification. This is not the least bit surprising to me. Pandora would have never gotten away with promising sterling quality and not delivering on it.

I heald my breath when you cut into the bracelet! I have been a Pandora collector for 12 years and I am relieved that I haven't been throwing my money away all this time. Thank you!!

Hey thanks for the information...much appreciate. .really liked your video's 😊

Thanks your video was helpful!

The world of the youtube algorithm brought me here. I watched the whole video. Very informative and I checked the other ones as well. Thats awesome work, research and share of knowledge! Keep up the good work! :D

This is a fantastic video, sad about the poor hedgehog lol but it’s good to know the quality after the amount of money I have spent on Pandora!! Brilliant, thank you 😊

what a brilliant idea for a video! I just rec'd an earring from a brand, Loren Stewart and something felt off, used magnet, passed and then saw their 14K gold stamp but it was a 585 stamp and I have a lot of jewelry branded + non from around world and never seen before but aware of it - on brand's website it stated smaller pieces (mine is) may not be stamped because of size but ironically it takes up same 3 characters that 14K would, whole thing just seemed strange!

As a goldsmith I must say, I repaired quite some jewellery and pandora was always good to work with. All the things that you said are completely broken would be still fixable. The biggest problems I encountered were with Tiffany and 333 or 375 gold.

Thank you so much for the video. Could you also do the test on Pandora's gold product please?

Thank you!

I am so happy I watched this.. I have been second guessing if Pandora was true.. as I had invested in it so much. I can now relax and know that what I have is real

I see a lot of people criticise the price point on Pandora, and I too as a Dane who grew up with these specific charm bracelets way before they rolled into the international scene, can definitely see that the price of the jewelry is very high just as soon as it is found outside the Danish market... But.. all things considered with the export taken in mind, it isn't that expensive for something you can make so custom and personalised 🤷‍♀️❤️

Awesome job...thanks

Thank you for this video❤

Thank you for sharing.

As a jewelry artist it’s so entertaining to watch this video cool😊

I liked the pliers test because I always thought the inside of their bracelets and chains were hollow. But of course I’m not going to cut my own jewelry in half 😅

Perfect video .Glad to know I am not getting ripped off .. for all the money that is being spent !!!

Wow, it is a nice test.

Thanks for this great video.

I worked at a very high-end Jeweler many years ago are silver was high in silver and still retailed for cheaper than Pandora so it's hard not to call it overhyped garbage, if you think you bought it as a good investment in silver I bet you won't beanie babies and think they're a real investment 😋

Very interesting any chance you could do these tests on other brands gnoce for starters thanks

What a fun job! That would be my dream job. To test jewelry all day. Clean jewelry.

Thank you 😊

You are adorable. Loved the video, thank you so much for this information. Can you make a video like this with the silver charms from Aliexpress?

My heart broke when he snapped the bracelet i love my pandora bracelets

Great video!

what they mean with the ice test is that you have a big block of ice (like those big cubes for wisky) and you place the silver on top it will melt the ice around it, kinda eroding it. It will look like if you placed a hot knife on plastic and it melted the plastic. It won't melt the whole ice, just the immediate area around it, so it will melt in the shape of the silver. Most times they do the test comparing to other metals, like a silver ring and a fake ring and the silver ring will erode the ice faster

The ICE test I assume is referring to the heat transfer where a material can transfer heat (in this case the air) to a cooler material, basically using the bracelet as a heat sink. Traditionally heat sinks are used to transfer heat from a source to the air so in theory silver could work but you probably won't see much unless you also have a fan blowing on the silver the way a computer fan blows on a heat sink to transfer the heat from the chip to the air BUT that could also just transfer the heat from the air directly to the ice and the only way to tell if the silver is transferring heat is if you have a fan that could ONLY blow on the without allowing moving air to touch anything else which you can't. Besides that, the bracelet would have to be very large, thin, and flat so as to maximize contact and surface area, think like a sheet or a disk, for you to see any real noticeable heat transfer (and therefore melting) without a fan. BUT before all that, realize that MANY materials, especially metals will do this heat transfer. It's not limited to silver so you wouldn't be able to tell if it's silver or any other metals. Heck if that bracelet was mostly copper, it would probably melt ice just as if not very slightly faster than silver because copper has an even higher heat transfer coefficient, one of the highest of any metal. In fact most heat sinks are made of either aluminum for the lower end, or nickel plated copper on the higher end because of how much heat it can transfer. So yeah that article lied. Silver does not have the highest heat transfer of any common metal, that would be copper, but just slightly.

Please can you do that to pandora rose bracelet .. to see if it is actually rose all the way through

nice video, thank you very much!

Hi,great video, you could test Pandora rose just to see the rose gold plating.

Solid silver jewelry has a significant difference in weight to one that is hollow. 😊

You should have made two blocks of ice to test the silver. Then the contact area of metal to ice is more or less uniform.　Interesting video, thank you！！

Thanks for the video…. Could you do another video with gold Pandora please..❤

I've had my pandora silver bracelet for years now. I keep adding charms to it. It's doing great, whenever it gets dirty I just clean it with soap and water and it shines again.(silver looks better the more you wash with water and soap) All the charms I have say S925. It's def real silver. Thank you for confirming with this video.

Nice pieces of jewellery

Ive put loads Pandora items for Mt birthday list so watching this made me feel better knowing its high quality 😭

I was an enormous fan of Pandora Jewelry. It's very lovely and the charms are beautiful. The problem is I had a Pandora bracelet with many charms and put it in a drawer and several years later when I pulled it out it was completely black. I know that silver tarnishes but I have never seen it tarnished like that. It would have taken me forever to clean inside the intricate details of the charms. I have costume jewellery and I don't know what type of metal is made of but I've had pieces for over 20 years and they are still as new and shiny looking as ever. The earrings don't cause any irritation and normally anything that isn't surgical steel or sterling silver will cause my ears to get infected. It is very inexpensive but just beautiful and it doesn't tarnish. I am so curious what this type of metal is. In my opinion I think it's far superior than sterling silver. The problem with Pandora Jewelry as well is when it tarnishes it smells terrible. It needs extensive care and does not hold up well with age. I would like to see them treat their silver with something to stop this very quick tarnishing process. With that said it really is very expensive considering how delicate it is and you're really getting a very small amount of silver. Normally silver jewellery of value is quite heavy.

7 04 that red on the charm looks Great

Hi, I have a question about the silver stamp. Is it also supposed to be on the bracelet itself? Thank you!

Hi. I'm a Pandora franchise operator. Great video. I will be sharing this with my staff. Look for a bunch of views soon.

Thanks for this, am just going to buy Pandora Christmas gift for my Nice.

Enjoyed thank you

Will you ever test Gnoce New York? For some reason, I think everyone is being scammed by them. I feel like it may have other metals inside and that it may not be real sterling silver.

Awesome video. Can you make a video on Rose Gold bracelet from Pandora? If it’s good quality or not I don’t know what else should ask since it’s not Stirling Silver (hopefully you get my point) also it is more expensive the the silver ones or so I think.

I don't own any Pandora, wondering why this was recommended but I'll watch it, it looks interesting.

I have this pandora earrings when i was 13 yrs old.Still very clean and neat till now tht im 24.

I just love Pandora

Can you do this text with Tiffany jewelry? I purchased two different necklaces and I got the worst rash ever! And it tarnished quickly even after wearing it daily as suggested by the sales person. I would love to know what are Tiffany’s jewelry really made of.

I might be crazy but the ice with the bracelet in it seemed to be melting much faster. Not a good test though. I feel like it might make more sense if it's just a ring on a single cube but still pretty wobbly. I feel like it would only be reliable to test if something is metal, which is pretty silly.

Next time you test jewellery, always do it in a hidden place. Testing marks the metal so you always want to do it on a small link that won't be noticed 😊

it would be cool to look at the test with a hard bracelet (which is not a snake)

can you test the SouFeel range of charm bracelets?

Personally I don’t do jewellery. I wear a bracelet though and it’s stainless steel - robust and has withstood many years of teaching in a salt water chlorinated pool. It looks as good as the day I got it. You can keep your sterling silver Pandora.

I hope this doesn’t come across as annoying or rude, and this is the only video I’ve seen of yours (which was great by the way!) so I might just be ignorant to something but I would look up “nail clubbing” and maybe talk to your dr about it at your next appointment if you aren’t already aware! Happy new year!

The ice test works - if you look at the moment the bracelet touches the ice, it IMMEDIATELY begins to melt it as if it were heated up, where the other ice just melts slowly. As the bracelet cools down its core temperature with the ice under it, the melting slows until it appears that the other cup has caught up and they are both melting at the same rate. However, at the beginning, the bracelet DID melt the ice/have a visible effect on video, on contact. :)

Can you do a video testing out their gold and rose gold jewelry?

Please don’t chuck silver. You can sell to a billion dealer, have the acid polished off by a jeweller or get some 1200 grit sand paper(if you bought an acid test kid it should come with a small piece) and gentle remove acid stain your self. Also do the test on the back or other area that can’t be seen just to be safe.

HELLO. I WAS GIVEN A PANDORA CUFF BRACELET WITH A HEART CLASP OPENING. I WORE IT FOR 2 DAYS...AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED IT HAD SOME BLACK MARKS ON THE BRACELET?? I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE PANDORA STORE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO WEAR THESE BRACELETS 24/7? I WEAR AT THE MOMENT 3 SILVER BRACELETS THAT I HAVE HAD FOR OVER 10 YEARS. I HAVE GONE INTO THE SEA , POOL AND SHOWER WITH THEM. THEY HAVE NOT COME OFF MY WRIST. NOTHING AT ALL HAS HAPPENED TO THEM!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PANDORA BRACELET??🤔
