Am I too old for a Pandora charm bracelet?

I got one for my 30th birthday and it got filled by the time I was 40 and got another for my 40th, I'm 42 and I wear the second one everyday, it only has 3 charms this far.

My dd 21 also has 2 she rarely wears her due to her job but between us we have no charms the same also the actual bracelets are different, she also has loads of the rings and earrings but I couldn't see my self wearing them, although I do think they are nice they are not my taste.

Agree with this.

98% of my stuff is nice and in the “best possible taste” but I have a few things I know are cheesy / tacky but I love them and give zero fucks what some rando on the street thinks about that…

I got one for my 60 year old mum. I think some of their charms are lovely and meaningful.
I think they look good on all ages.

I’m 52 and have one, I love mine as my DH and DD’s buy charms for it for birthdays and Christmas, it means they have something easy to buy and I have a gorgeous bracelet full of things they’ve chosen.

You've just inspired me to dig mine out and try cleaning it again, thanks OP. I don't care if it's cool or not. I have some lovely charms that have been picked out by my kids. That's more important than anything else!

Pandora isn’t really very cool OP @MoreCardassianThanKardashian

They’re having a resurgence with Gen Z.

Go ahead and get one, OP. I’m surprised age is even an issue here; maybe it’s different in the UK, but in the US, I think you’re almost more likely to see them on older women than younger women.

Who cares what other people think! I have a Pandora bracelet, my mother bought it for me one year for Christmas and then every year she’d buy me charms… I had to tell her to stop because I never wear it, I’m just not really a bracelet person but my sister wears hers and she’s in her 40s.

I have one and I'm older than you. My DDs got it for me and I love it. Now they're getting me charms :) I don't think it has anything to do with age. I love silver and I'll wear it

I have 3 full Pandora and Chamilia charm bracelets, the kids used to buy me a charm for birthday and Christmas until I asked them to stop! I wear them most days and I am 69.

I got mine age 46 as a gift for my wedding from my best maid....she put the wee bridge and groom charm on it. Since then I've been gifted another couple of charms.

Go for it !

I have one and I'm 53. Get charms from places u visit round the world

I got one for my 40th..

If I saw someone wearing a Pandora charm bracelet, "young and cool" would not be the look I thought they were going for.

Omg get one!!! Yolo!!!

👏👏
Well Said

I am WC but do not have a Pandora bracelet.
I do not mock, or judge, those who do though.
I have a nice old fashioned (1980s) Gold charm bracelet personally

The only place I've seen judgment and mocking of them is women on Mumsnet, I know a lot of women in the age group of OP who has one. It's only in here I've seen the idea that they're for children.

On a Xmas thread a few years ago I've seen women refer to them as a working class signifier and mock women and who wear them and say they're actually cheap jewelry for children and not "proper" jewellery for women, personally I would try and wear what you like OP, the type of person who judges and mocks over this type of thing isn't the type of person you want to impress anyway as they'll only pick something else to sneer at.

Had mine for my 30th from mother in law. Only wear it on special occasions but it's great. Husband knows if he can't think what to get for birthday, anniversary or Christmas he can get a charm.

Buy one,

I don't think there is an age limit for wearing one
If you want one, and can now afford too, then Just Do It ;)

Ooh @ImNoSuperman the Monica Vinader bracelets 😍now you have started something...

They aren't marketed at kids. Get one if you want.

They are a bit dated now though.

Get yourself one if you want one! Why not? It doesn't matter how old you are. I'm in my 40's, my sister is in her 50's. We've bought each other meaningful charms for our bracelets over past 15-20 yrs. I think of my sister when I wear mine. I don't wear mine all the time (I can't wear much jewellery at work), but I will put it on when I'm not working :)

I don't like them and fortunately DH knew that and was able to politely dissuade MIL when she mentioned buying me one but there's no age range related to them I'm away of. MIL must have been in her 60s when she got hers.

I'm in my late 30's and have one, got it about 6 years ago as a present from my ex and mine is full is Disney charms, buy new ones when I go to Florida as well as getting some over here. My SIL is in her 40's and got hers for Christmas a couple of years ago she has a mix of charms on hers and wears it most days.

Age is just a number, if you like it get one

If you think you're too old for Pandora, what about a charm bracelet from something like Monica Vinader?
