April 11, 2010 - PRLog -- It's Easy to Spot a Fake Pandora Charm.
Buying authentic Pandora charms online can be risky business.
At Trade Your Charms we want to provide you with all the information you need to spot a fake Pandora charm easily.

There are 3 key features to look out for:

The Pandora Hallmark.
The Pandora hallmark "ALE". This was introduced to clearly distinguish between authentic Pandora jewellery and fake counterfeits. The initials are of the father of the designer and are unique to Pandora jewellery. Silver Pandora charms and jewellery also carry the numbers 925. Gold Pandora charms and jewellery have the numbers 585 on each piece.Unfortunately it is easy for unscrupulous dealers to engrave this information on inferior products. There are further checks that you can make to ensure you are buying the real deal.


Quality of the Pandora Charms.
Authentic Pandora Charms are designed and made by qualified jewellers and goldsmiths and are everlasting. Authentic Pandora jewellery is valuable and will retain its value. A recent episode of "The Collectors" shown on ABC TV, predicted Pandora charms to be a collectors item in the future. In contrast non authentic, fake designer charms are mass produced and of an inferior quality. Check your item carefully for the telltale signs of a quality product and if the price seems to good to be true it almost certainly will be.

How much is it selling for?
Pandora jewellery sells for a set price regardless of where you purchase your authentic Pandora charms. This includes online stockist. Authorised Pandora stockists are easy to spot once you do your homework. Look at the charms and beads close up. If you are a Pandora lover it will be easy to spot the fakes.
If in doubt visit the official Pandora website at http://www.pandora-jewelry.com/ to find an authorised stockist in your area or online. If the charm you want to buy is selling for much lower that the Pandora recommended retail price, it is certain to be a fake.
