Have you ever wondered if you are really purchasing authentic Pandora jewelry? In this blog post I share with you how I discovered that my Pandora charms are authentic.
I purchased a charm from a company that assured me that they sold authentic Pandora Jewelry only to realized that it is not authentic. I found this out after doing some research on Pandora's website.
Depending on the shape of the Pandora charm, most times there are markings at the bottom of the charm. One of the markings that you will see on Pandora Jewelry charms is ALE.
The founder of Pandora Jewelry is Per Enevoldsen and his father' s name is Algot Enevoldsen. So the word ALE derives from the founder father's name.
Another marking is S925. S means that the jewelry is sterling silver and 925 means that the jewelry is 92.5% sterling silver.
If your charm has both these markings then it is an authentic Pandora charm. If it only has S925 that means the charm is sterling silver and not authentic Pandora.
In this photo below the only markings that is on this charm is S925 and Pandora. The ALE marking is not on the charm so I know the charm is not authentic Pandora charm.
