How To Check The Authenticity Of Pandora Charms Jewelry💍

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.

How I Use Baking Soda To Cure Bad Breath

My Trinidadian mother always boast that she used baking soda on my gums and teeth as a toddler which contributed to me having healthy teeth.  

Recently my husband has been telling that my breath was not smelling to pleasant so I decided to use baking soda on my teeth and gums.  

I simply apply the baking soda to my teeth and gums while I am in the shower or by the faucet after brushing my teeth. I then put a but of water in my mouth and gargle a bit and then spit out the liquid.  Next I wash out my mouth.  That's it!  So basically I use the baking soda like a mouth wash.

How I Use Baking To Get Rid Of My Facial Acne

I recently resumed using baking soda on my face as a treatment for my acne.  I use to do a similar treatment many years ago and it was quite effective.  I had forgotten about it.  I use to mix some baking soda with olive oil together and apply the mixture to my face.

Now instead of using the olive oil, I just mix a small bit of water with the baking soda and apply the mixture to my face and massage my face.  I do this procedure while I am in the shower which means I always have a bottle of baking soda in my bathroom.  My face is so smooth these days and I am super happy.

Pandora Jewelry 2019 Club Charm

Pandora makes a club charm each year.  In 2019 I purchased my first club charm.  The charm is made of an almost exact replica of a treasure chest in rose gold.  It even has a lock in the shape of a heart.  In the center of the lock is a CC.  This is really a treasured piece.  The charm even has two hooks on the side of the treasure chest which allows it to be used as a pendant.
