Real "what" exactly? Authentic Pandora beads have a spiral core of sterling silver or 14k gold that twists onto the bracelet. They are also stamped "Pandora". The beads are made from gold, silver and glass from Murano Italy. Chinese "knockoffs" are not stamped Pandora, they do not have the spiral or turned core (like a gun barrel) and they are made of poor quality glass that has not been properly annealed and will break easily under stress or drastic temperature changes, known as thermal shock. Many glass artists make one of a kind glass beads to fit the European style charm bracelets that are even nicer than what Pandora sells. Watch for the term "Kiln Annealed" and you know you're getting a quality glass bead.

There are a few things that a person can to do verify that a Pandora Charm is authentic. The first thing is to check for the Pandora Hallmark on the charm. The seller should also be an authorized Pandora dealer.

Why doesn't Pandora make military charms?

I contacted Pandora about this same issue and here is the response I received. "Pandora charms are designed in Europe at the Corporate Offices in Denmark. Initially the line was strictly European, but came to the States in 2003. In those 10 years they have increased their offerings of American related charms but currently they do not offer military specific charms." There are a number of knockoffs that fit the pandora bracelette. If you want authentic pandora, some suggestions are the all american glass charm, or the guardian angel which my son picked for his mother prior to deployment.

Do miss Rhona charms fit Pandora?

No, the Miss Rhona Charms have a very small internal diameter as Miss Rhona is essentially a childrens range of the Rhona Sutton brand and the Miss Rhona bracelets are smaller than an adults standard charm bracelet. The end of a Pandora bracelet is too big for many of the Miss Rhona charms to fit over. I discovered this by emabarrassingly purchasing my niece a Pandora bracelet but trying to skimp on the charms by buying Miss Rhona.
