Birthday Charm
I decide to get myself pandora charms for my birthday this year.
Why i chose these charms?
1. because it's the birthstone of my birth month.
2. blue and green has always appeal calm to me. hence why i pick these colors.
(and i just realise that green is the color of D's birthstone and blue is mine)

Bought for sgd$40
Bought for sgd$65
Got these from Yvonne @cheapandchic. A very nice sincere lady.
Said her charms are authentic. Even showed me the markings on the charms to prove that it's indeed authentic.
Her charms can even be brought over to the Pandora shops to have it clean/polish.

Bummer! :(
Got the charms ytdy. my first reaction was ... so small?
Tis morning fix it and inspect it on my bracelet. Dun feel gd. Google to check on the charms on hand vs charms in store.
The birthstone doesn't have ALE on it. the 925 is rather fade unless u look very very closely. it takes me a couple of times to see and see and see when i finally can make up the 925. It should be very visible. See video below.
You are visibly see the ALE and S925 on the left. But the one i got on the right, the 925 can barely see. and ALE is no where to be found. no markings at all on the other side of the charm.
The murano is smaller than the one i have - the green faceted murano charm. but it kind of look ok. But jus dun feel comfortable abt the authenticity. The thread inside kind of oxidise. The wordings jus dun look very right. But again maybe the Murano is genuine.
This is what i got. compared with the one on the right. the fonts are more define. and the ring is more smoother. but the ring that i got jus dun feel right. It can't be because of picture resolution right?
The seller said that she got hers from Thailand. If only she answers me so when i ask her. She only said it's from factory. My assumption, it could be US or SG. Didn't know that she got it from Thailand. Maybe it's authentic. As she said she has buyer who went to the Pandora shop to verify the authenticity. But it just look and feel different that the one i have.
"While Pandora is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark all of their jewelry is made in Thailand, in an area called Gemopolis. Gemopolis provides a free-trade zone which has special incentives given to companies in the jewelry, fashion products, medical equipment, and telecommunication industries. It is here where the magic happens; Pandora employs more than 3,000 workers to handcraft every piece of jewelry." (Extracted from http://www.charmsaddict.com/2012/02/how-pandora-jewelry-is-made/)
Read abt it at this link:
The seller is nice though that she agrees to refund me and me return the charms via normal mail. Once she has trf back the my money $105, then i shall post out her charms. Phew!
Else if she backs out ... then i will sell this back online but obviously making a lost. i would not want to say that this is authentic nor will i say it's not.
But i will be honest enough to say that seller's supplier is from Thailand.
