Charm Beads for Bracelets

Carlo Biagi Sterling Silver Lighthouse Bead
It's the lazy Days of Summer, but are they really lazy?? Maybe for some - like kids on summer break or families on vacation, but not here at Bead Lovers Korner! It is far from that! Sales are very slow during the summer so I work extra hard to come up with new charm beads for European bracelets, and make new items to complement and accessorize.
Carlo Biagi Hot Pink Czs and Ridged Sterling Silver Combo
In previous years it was no big deal and I actually did quite well, but now that I am no longer allowed to say on Ebay or on Etsy that ....


Carlo Biagi or Landmark Beads will fit on PANDORA bracelets 


my sales have plummeted. It has been like that for the past couple of years and I keep trying to come up with new products, however I still have a large variety of beautiful beads that many PANDORA bracelet owners are missing out on. 


Purple Dragonfly Dangle
If I were a bigger business and not a solely owned small company, then I might have other resources, but I had faith in myself to work and make a living with my passion......so here I go, tossing this note onto the Internet Sea in the hopes that someone NEW will discover the Biagi or Landmark Beads that I have waiting for them. I also have many beautiful hand assembled dangle beads like the cute little Dragonfly charm above.

Landmark Beads for Bracelets - Compatible with PANDORA, Biagi, Chamilia and more!


Landmark Travel Bead Sterling Silver Bracelet

Landmark Beads are made of high quality .925 sterling silver with oxidized accents, and the large hole makes them compatible with many popular European style brands including Chamilia, Carlo Biagi, Troll and PANDORA Bracelets. These highly detailed beads have a smooth inner hole, which measures approximately 5mm, and beads are approximately 3/8" long by 3/8" tall depending on the design.


Where is your favorite vacation spot? Do you have a love of a particular area of the world? Whatever the case may be you can find a sterling silver memory of that location to wear on your charm bead bracelet. There are over 60 different hghly detailed beads representing locations in the world and the United States that are top vacation spots or historic landmarks, along with those there are several beads to help tell the story of your travels including a cruise ship, jet airplane, sail boat, camper and more.

Landmark Bead Stonehenge

Landmark Beads should only be cleaned with a silver cleaning cloth. Do not use silver polish dip, as this may remove the oxidation that shows the tiny details in the silver. When you are not wearing your bracelet, keep it stored in a safe place in either a plastic Ziploc bag or special jewelry storage, this will help keep it from tarnishing quickly. With proper care, these beads will be a lasting representation of your travels around the world!

“e.g. our products fits the PANDORA bracelets”. Counterfeiting, don't use that word!


Custom Mother's Birthstone Charm Dangle


Here is my take on the whole PANDORA issue. Strike the word from your vocabulary, unless you are one of their die hard believers or you are talking about something from mythology.

Apparently this company wants sole use of the word in any form as it relates to beads or jewelry. If you use the word and are not one of their sellers then you are counterfeiting their trademark. Enough said. I am sick of the whole thing. If you ask me if my beads will fit on your blasted bracelet that starts with the alphabet letter P, then I will tell you, otherwise I am not saying. I am in the process of removing it from every single place I have a listing or information about the compatibility of my items except in general overview areas and here on my blog.

Here is a statement from that company that you can read:

http://reviews.ebay.com.au/A-Message-from-PANDORA-Head-Office-re-Counterfeiting?ugid=10000000017353234

At one point in this post it says:
"The use of the trademark PANDORA stand-alone and in combined phrases is only accepted in general customer information describing in long text the products offered, “e.g. our products fits the PANDORA bracelets."

Should I believe this? You know what, not doing it... I decided today, that could have been posted by anyone. Just to suck you in so you think it's OK to say your bead will fit on that bracelet. It is not worth the headache of  having to go and change hundreds of listings, or the risk of getting sued if they up and decide that it's not OK. So pretend the word does not exist, or that if you say it you risk death because the big bad wolf will come and eat you. 

Carlo Biagi Swarovski Crystal Beads


The beads I sell and the charm beads that I make have a large diameter hole, and will fit on any thing with a smaller diameter such as a bracelet, necklace, leather, cord, beaded chain, key chain, anywhere you want. I also sell traditional beads that have a smaller hole and will not fit on large chains like that bracelet that starts with a P.

Twin Towers Landmark Travel Bead

I carry Carlo Biagi Jewelry and Landmark Charm beads, occasionally I will bring in some economy beads with a low price point. Everything I sell is of high quality .925 sterling silver (unless it is mentioned otherwise, as in the economy beads) and will have lasting value for the bearer of the bead or charm, as long as they treat it with care and clean the the item properly.

I am insulted that just because I say that my Carlo Biagi beads will fit on a P-ND-RA bracelet that I am selling counterfeit beads. So enough, my beads and items will sell on their own merit and the excellent customer service that I provide. I hope other sellers will follow suit and not keep trying to find new ways to say P-ND-RA. Just backspace over that word, let them have it. Beads have been around for thousands of years and will continue to a part of jewelry design, large hole or small hole!

To anyone who reads this post, thanks for listening and if you sell beads or buy beads I hope this information has helped you. I will leave you with two thoughts:

  • What exactly came out of Pandora's Box? All the evils of the world, so don't mess with that box. 
  • When the Giants come they don't even see the ants, so get the heck out of the way!
