Am I too old for a Pandora charm bracelet?

42 here, had one for about 10 years. The charms were gifted by friends and family (gradually) when my mum got me the bracelet; so it is a meaningful piece of jewellery (although I always thought (and still think) they're overpriced/no monetary value as it's only silver).

Get a bracelet and a couple charms to begin with and start collecting charms; it definitely isn't a young people thing!

I personally don’t like them but I have several friends who have them and we are in our 60’s. So no you are not too old if you want one and can afford it.

They are an absolute dream gift for male givers. It requires very little effort and Pandora have done all the sentimental thinking for them. My dh bought me one when we got together ten years ago. I did wear it for a good few years and got lots of ‘meaningful’ charms from him 🤣

Do what makes you happy!

Pandora remains common

I'm a wear what you want type but I do think you should ask you daughter how she feels about it. You might make hers feel less special (read: less cool)

I wear all sorts of bracelets and bangles - including Pandora. I got my first one in my 40’s. Jewellery is for wearing - not keeping in a box in a drawer.

My DH got me one for my 40th. I'm not entirely sure I wanted one. I think he just made his own gift dilemmas a lot easier. Its a bit of a joke now if something new happens. In the last few years I have received a house charm, a dog charm and (unfortunately) a car charm. It's still nice though and I do wear it occasionally especially if we are out together.

Honestly, I things it has been a while since Pandora was regarded as 'cool', so that won't be an issue. It's just a fairly ubiquitous brand now, that people buy because they like it, not because of the hype (which has long since died down).

If you would love one, buy one.

I got one for my 30th birthday, I love it. Like you, I would’ve loved to get one when I was younger but I never did. I like that people close to me buy me charms as presents now and then, it feels like a very personal piece of jewellery now.

I got one for my 45th birthday! My mum got one for Christmas last year, she's 67!

Just wear what you want. If you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks?

I’ve got 3 Pandora bracelets btw, all different styles. had to ask people to stop buying me charms because it got ridiculous and I cant wear them all at once.

Genuinely surprised at this. If anything where I am it’s the people in their 40s and 50s (like me 🤣) who wear them. Dd is 21 and can’t stand them! Just wear what you like.

I think they look nice with minimal charms, perhaps a couple that are special to the wearer. They are just a bracelet, amongst many different kinds of bracelets. There’s few things age related I would put a block on if I like them, beyond anything that would make the wearer look strange or vulgar. Pandora do lots of different designs. As do Swarovski, Coeur de Lion, etc…. Brand chasers have never had it so good.

Get yourself one

I don't like them personally but if you want one get one!

I am 51 and have one that is packed with charms. I adore mine, it is nearly full of charms bought for me by my husband and children and it makes me smile when I look at it. Many of my charms are not Pandora, however, there are lots of jewellers out there doing beautiful charms that fit Pandora bracelets and offer better value for money. I am a writer and love folklore, so my family have sourced some stunning charms over the years to reflect that, as well as some beautiful Pandora charms. My favourite is a dangling Dumbo, whose ears flap. My daughters bought it for me for Mother's Day because I always tear up during the Baby Mine scene! It's a very personal piece of jewellery to me and anyone who got sneery about it would get short shrift! You are NEVER too old for something that makes you happy, OP.

Why??

Of course you can wear one! I wear one and I'm 55! Indeed I have two different types from Pandora, both 40th birthday gifts. They are not filled with charms, just a couple of special ones each and form part of a stack I wear. Honestly wear what you want. I can't believe anybody would think it's weird!

Im approaching 30 and have a star wars pandora bracelet.

Some (probably like mine) might be seen younger but they are for all ages

My MIL and DH’s grandma both have them, and they are in their 60s and 90s!

I'm in my 50's and I love mine.
It didn't even enter my brain that I might be deemed 'too old!'
It's utterly bizarre that a charm bracelet is inappropriate for someone my age.

If I was wearing a knicker grazing mini skirt, or was dressed like a goth ... someone might raise an eyebrow ... but a piece of jewellery ...???
NAH... buy one, wear it and enjoy it.

Only ultra judgemental people will have something to say... and really ... do those people even matter ????

I'm fifty. I've got one.
Only issue I found .... they are addictive, always buying charms, then you need another bracelet and so it continues lol.

I’m 62 I’ve got one . I think they are ridiculously expensive but the DGC buy charms to remember various trips and occasions. It’s a nice keepsake.
