It doesn't matter what you have now. Let's say that you have neither one of these - and then you can only get one.

Let's do a discussion - how much everyone spent on their bracelet. Also feel free to attach a photo or specify what you have (type of bracelet, how many charms, etc).

Upon hearing the news of replacing the bracelets and most charms with an alloy core with plating, I am very, very dissapointed. To my understanding, they will stop producing bracelets in silver and replace most charms with them as well. Silver will only comprise a small part and will be considered "luxury", probably with increased prices and a boring limited selection. I don't plan to buy the plated versions, as it is costume jewelry, isn't valuable and doesn't last.

I planned to start buying and collecting, and was very excited about it, but now I wonder if I should even start. Getting things before the change doesn't solve it, as I don't have the ability to buy everything I want at once, and knowing I won't be able to continue collecting takes off from the fun as well. Should I even start?

I've been contemplating for a while the purchase of a Pandora charm bracelet. But I keep seeing in this sub and also generally complaints about quality, defects and costumer service. I'm eyeing the snake chain barrel bracelet in silver, opals, silver clips and charms. I saw a review of someone complaining that this clasp opened and she lost the bracelet. Also about defects - people get defected products, scratched, blackened pieces, clasps that don't close all the way, etc. And also about deteriorating quality over time, falling stones, etc.

Upon complaining, costumer service is difficult, refuses refunds, flags accounts, etc. For me this is a lot of money and a very rare oppurtunity for me to splurge on myself. So I want to get a clearer picture about this. If there are regional differences - I live in eastern Europe.

I also attached photos in the comments of the products that mainly interest me as a start (but I ask in general as well, in case I would expand my collection).
