Is Pandora out of style and dated?

What do you think? Do you own one, do you want one ??

I have never wanted one. If you like them, that's fine, but I could never see the appeal. Those charms are not cheap, but to me the overall effect of a full bracelet isn't pretty.

not at all- I live in a suburb of nyc and they are always popular here- I have 7 different Pandora bracelets ( I do them color themed) and wear them all the time.

I don't think it is something that is in or out of style. If you have one or want one it is fine. Wear it.

I never wanted one. They can be pretty & interesting but they are not my style.

I have a couple small cuff bracelets I wear every day. I never gave a thought to whether they are in style. They are my style.

I think it varies by age and region. In my area and age group (late 30's -mid 40's) they are passé' . We have a 'friends helping friends' group that steer each other's loved ones away from the Pandora counter and on to something else.

I agree that it's a personal choice. I have never liked them for me, but I have friends that are crazy about them.

I love it and still wear mine. My daughter too!

My cousin made one for me over many Christmas celebrations.

I wear it in the winter...but I think Alex & Ani or Chaan Lu style bracelets are more popular now.

I never wanted one, the concept was cute, but it was much too expensive to fill up an entire bracelet. Jewelry is always a personal choice, I wear what I want, but there's always the latest "in" fashion, and I agree that Pandora is waning. Remember the three stone diamond necklace? Everyone wanted one. I just wore mine yesterday, but haven't in years!

I feel the fad of owning a Pandora bracelet has passed. I am a HUGE bracelet fan. I own many and always wear bracelets. But for some reason I never liked Pandora charm bracelets. They are everything I usually gravitate toward but I just never saw the appeal. Glad I didn't invest a small fortune into those charms since now they are so ""5 years ago"".

In my area Pandora isn't as hot as it was several years ago but the popularity of most things change as people move or are moved by marketing to the ""newest"" thing. The reason that I liked Pandora ' s concept is that you can use it as a memory catcher reminding you of people and events that were important in your life much like the charm bracelets of my generation. It's your choice so wear what you want.........don't let others sway you........

I jumped on the Pandora bandwagon about two years ago. I have three. One is all silver, one is all rose gold and one is all two tone. None of these are complete yet. I just got a couple of new beads on the free bracelet promo this weekend. I love them but as I sit here and look at them right now I am thinking I could have a nice hefty gold bracelet by this time. I think it is all a matter of preference. I will finish out my bracelets but I probably wont collect any more.

My hubby and I never liked them. The overall effect isn't as spectacular as I would want for the price point. Individually, the charms can be cute, but I don't think they show up when on the bracelet. They aren't bad, just not for me. At Christmas, the Pandora store in my mall was crowded.

If I had one, I certainly wouldn't stop wearing it because of current trends. I follow fashion trends to a point, but like to think I'm individual enough to wear something like that, especially with special charms that represent your life and people who have gifted them to you.

I bought my original bracelet when no one heard of Pandora. They were selling a very limited amont of beads in a small kiosk in the mall. That was over 20 years ago. Now there is a Pandora flagship store in the mall and I am still buying them. It's a personal choice, like everyone said. They also have very nice necklace chains and pendants, earrings, and watches.

It depends on where you live.

Love that. I would definitely be there...helping to steer.

I think the buying of them is trending down, but those who have them are still wearing them. That's how I feel about Trollbead bracelets, anyway. I don't own pandora so I cannot say. But I always thought Pandora drew a younger crowd, so perhaps they are more likely to lose interest.

I like the idea of Pandora but the look is not for me. I noticed that they have stores in every major European city we have been to in the past few years, so business must be good. The appeal is understandable; jewelry is often given to celebrate some special occasion in life, and these bracelets certainly do that. If you like them and they hold special memories, by all means wear them. Don't be a slave to fashion!
