For the past week I’ve been doing a series of posts on the benefits of purchasing quality Pandora-style charms instead of the overpriced authentic Pandora charms. Today’s feature is the Lady Bug Pandora Charm.

I’m honestly not even sure how Pandora is calling their silver charm a ladybug charm. It looks like a basketball with dots on it. On the other hand, the SS bead is bright and colorful, and there’s no doubt it’s a butterfly. It’s up to you, but my bracelet has one on the right. Click on the picture to buy it now.
This post is part of a series comparing Pandora style charms on DelightfulDaisy.com to authentic Pandora charms sold elsewhere.
One of our most popular selling series of charms is our love themed charms. We have dozens to choose from. For this comparison, I’m just displaying a small sampling of our selection to get the point across. (To buy any of these charms, just click on the picture).
The set of pictures below is to show the various Pandora style love charms available:

As I said, these sterling silver and 14k gold Pandora-style love charms are just a small sample of the love and heart themed beads available at Delightful Daisy. Now let’s look at what Pandora has to offer.

As I look at the selection, I’m impressed. The two gold charms are extremely nice, but they are also $400 so it’s not fair to compare the the sterling silver charms above. If you want a gold charm bracelet, by all means I recommend Pandora. But if you ignore those, then I don’t see the Pandora charms standing out. In fact, I prefer the quality of the Pandora style beads at Delightful Daisy (and for a lower price) than the authentic Pandora love charms.
My favorite charm in the whole collection is the Pandora Style Chinese Letter Heart charm, and that sells for only $25. What do you think? I’d love to get your opinion in the comments selection below.
This article is part of a series comparing Pandora Style Charms to authentic Pandora charms. The question I’m exploring is whether Pandora is of higher quality than the OHM and Biagi charms we sell at DelightfulDaisy. So far, I think it’s clear that Pandora is not superior and that the higher prices are to pay [...]

Pandora and Chamilia have put together an amazing marketing campaign that has people convinced that they ARE silver beads, and everyone else is a knock-off. I for one was one of the believers for many years. I was convinced that buying an alternative was like buying a fake Gucci bag on the streets of New [...]

We made a video of the Thomas Sabo spring 2010 collection. Admittedly it’s not the most breathtaking display of technological brilliance, it’s a cool show of the new collection combined with a funky reggae tune (Travis McCoy, for those wondering). Thomas Sabo released the Spring 2010 Collection – they titled it “Tropical Holiday.” Thisnew and exciting [...]

Much like other Lee Angel necklaces I’ve brought up in the past, this horn chain necklace ($180) is a perfect combination of simple and yet elegant. And for $180 at Neiman Marcus (last I checked) you can’t beat it. It’s made of solid silver, so don;t be fooled by the external color. What I really love [...]
