DO YOU SELL GENUINE PANDORA?

We are Certified Pandora on-line retailers and as such we guarantee that all of our Pandora goods are genuine. Beadazzle were the first company to sell Pandora jewellery on-line in the UK.

All orders are packaged with Official Pandora Packaging, and all bracelets will come with a Pandora box and a catalogue to make choosing future additions to your bracelet easier.

Please be aware that there are many unofficial websites selling Pandora and websites selling imitation products. Many of these sites use phrases such as "will fit on Pandora" and can look like official Pandora sites by having the Pandora logo. Items purchased from non-certified stores will not carry a warranty and may not be genuine. To avoid disappointment please ensure that you only purchase your Pandora items from a CERTIFIED retailer, a list of which is available on the Pandora website, please click on the link above.

This link will take you directly to the UK store locator on the official Pandora website: http://www.pandora.net/uk/stores

Due to the huge success Pandora has enjoyed and the very high demand that has been created, there are some very good replicas of Pandora charms being offered. There is an ever increasing number of ‘Genuine Pandora Charms' appearing for sale on eBay. Some of these listings may be for "genuine Pandora" charms but will certainly not be sold by official certified Pandora retailers, and there is no guarantee that what you purchase will be a genuine Pandora charm. If you are considering buying a Pandora charm from eBay check that the charm has the Pandora ‘ALE' hallmark?' . Unfortunately, even some of the better replicas are now being produced which have the Pandora ‘ALE' hallmark and even if the charm does have the Pandora hallmark you still run the risk of purchasing a fake charm.

Purchase Pandora only from a Certified & Authorised Pandora Dealer

Gift Wrap and optional premium postage services are non-refundable.

All exchange bracelets are despatched without a box. Any boxes received as part of an exchange may not be returned.

You will receive a confirmation email once your exchange /refund has been completed.

FINDING YOUR BRACELET SIZE

To find your perfect bracelet size, we suggest that you measure your wrist with a piece of string and then measure that against a ruler.

Ideally your bracelet should be 2-3cm longer than your wrist measurement, depending on how loose or tight you like to wear your bracelet.

As you fill up your bracelet the charms will initially take up some of the slack and over time the bracelet may expand up to 1cm in length as the links of the chain relax.

19cm is the average ladies bracelet size.

If you have chosen a Double Leather Bracelet, sizes are as follows:

Small (35cm), the equivalent of a 17-18cm bracelet

Medium (38cm), the equivalent of a 19cm bracelet

Large (41cm), the equivalent of a 20-21cm bracelet

As leather is a natural product, you may notice gentle shading and natural variations. These are merely the natural features of leather. Leather bracelets may also expand slightly over time once charms are added. Pandora recommend that you add a maximum of 9 charms to your Leather Bracelet. This style of bracelet does not require clips although safety chains can be added.

RING SIZES

If you do not know what ring size you are please contact us and we will send you a Ring Sizing Gauge.

Please click on the Ring Sizes link http://www.beadazzle.co.uk/ring-sizer.pdf to view the Pandora size chart as Pandora rings are measured using European sizing.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY PANDORA JEWELLERY?

We recommend a drop of a mild detergent or washing powder/liquid dissolved in warm water. Using a soft toothbrush, gently brush clean the fine details of the jewellery. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth. If you would like a more polished look, you can clean your charms and bracelet with a special Silver Polishing Cloth.

Important: The use of chemical agents is a drastic way to clean your jewellery. We recommend that you avoid using any such agents. They are especially harmful to dark silver jewellery with an oxidized (darker) finish. Please avoid wearing your jewellery in mineral baths or hot tubs as the chemicals may affect the finish.

Care Instructions for Leather:

Leather is a natural material and general wear or cleaning may cause shrinkage, stretching or colour variations. To preserve the quality of your jewellery please do not wash with household cleaning products and allow to dry naturally should it come in contact with water. Avoid contact with perfumes, creams and sun lotions. These care instructions also apply to Pandora Waxed Cotton strings and lariats.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BRACELET/BEAD HAS DEVELOPED A FAULT

Please contact us for advice regarding our returns procedure.

Broken chain/stuck charm:.

If a charm has become stuck, the fault can either lie with the charm or the bracelet. In this instance please contact us for advice. Please do not try to repair the jewellery yourself. Do not attempt to force the charms off or cut the chain.

If the chain has been cut or has broken as a result of being twisted, the jewellery will not covered by the warranty. If it is deemed that the piece of jewellery is defective, it will be covered by the warranty and the item will be repaired or exchanged by Pandora.

The warranty does not cover defects which arise as a result of the customer using non-genuine charms on Pandora bracelets. In such cases, the bracelet will be returned to you the customer.

Oxidation:

Oxidation fades with time. How quickly the oxidation fades depends on how the jewellery is treated. Things which can cause the oxidation to fade include: perspiration, chlorine, perfumes, cleaning agents and silver polish. Oxidation that fades is considered normal wear and tear and is not a defect.
