No, they are no better than your regular sterling silver bead that you can buy from any other jewellery outlet. All you are paying for is the name Pandora. Other brand names that are cheaper than Pandora are Biagi, Chamilia, Chrysalis, Trollbeads.
I'm going to assume Pandora is the company for which you are inquiring. The significant difference in beads is that Pandora has a vast selection and creates their beads with their style, while euro beads can be from any design. The second big difference is that Pandora's production often involves human rights and environmental protections, while other bead companies have little-to-no regard for these protections. Your best option might be to explore both to see what works for your taste! You might find an adorable bead on euro sellers, but it won't be something you'll find on Pandora's online store. It sounds like you may want to contact the seller of the euro beads to purchase them if they offer this service. If you're going to explore and try unique beads by chance, I know the best beads store in Los Angeles, which provides a collection of perfect beads for any outfit.
Originality glass beads fit on my Pandora bracelet and so do the sterling silver charms that hang. The other solid silver charms with a hole through them do not fit over the two humps on the Pandora bracelet.
No. Trollbeads is the original bead company, founded in 1976. Pandora and Ohm beads are similar, but copied the idea, as many other companies have.
From large city to smaller towns there are numerous beading craft shops available. Hobby Shop, Michaels and other craft shops have them in stock although a more exotic selection is usually better found at a bead shop then at a general craft store. (Of course if you run across a troll while wandering in the Catskills they may have a limited stock with them.) Trollbeads are also sold in jewelry and gift stores.

Most Chamilia, Pandora and Biagi Beads are compatible with each other.
Yes. But Troll beads will not fit on a Pandora bracelet.AnswerYes, Pandora beads will fit on a troll bracelet, but not necessarily vice versa. Troll beads do not have the threading inside so they may get stuck on the threaded sections of the Pandora bracelet. Troll does have about 23 beads that could work on Pandora. This is why I bought a Troll....almost every bead out there from different manufacturers will fit.yes.if you want to buy more Pandora beads,view:http://www.pbeads.com
Pandora bracelets are more expensive and so are the charms, beads and etc. Brighton bracelets on the other hand are less expensive, have very cool spacers, charms and beads and they are way cheaper than Pandora. Pandora is fine jewelry. Brighton is costume jewelry.
About 99% of them will, the snowman was the only one so far not to fit I found the hole was just a little bit too small. The stoppers will not, they have rubber in theirs where as the Pandora twist on but so far all the other charms and beads fit.
Biagi beads are a decorative bead that is used on bracelets or other jewelry. They have become really popular on certain pandora bracelets etc.
I definitely think troll! Yes, Pandora is more popular BUT that's the main reason people buy them! They get hooked on a name. I think troll is tons better because I love the clasps, bracelets, and beads. I think there is a better variety of beads and bracelets. I have a blue/green theme on my bracelet, and a silver theme on my necklace. I get compliments EVERY where i go!! Hope this was helpful :) These were actually not both made by brothers. That's a rumor that was started. Trollbeads are older that Pandora and have a smaller chain so you can fit all the Pandora beads onto the troll but not vise versa as the screw on Pandora is too big for the hole in trollbeads. Trollbeads generally have more detail than Pandora and have a very large selection of beads. I'd recommend getting the troll bracelet because you can fit both types of beads and have more options. Both are great but this gives you more options! Both or neither.....Trollbeads and Pandora were both started by brothers so obviously the designs are similar. European bead bracelet are very popular and there are other obvious knock off's of both trollbead and Pandora. Both lines are very well made and are interchangeable to some degree. Pandora seems to be known a bit better here in the USA but Trollbeads are gaining in popularity as well.
Pandora beads are on a screw-thread with a screw-thread on the end of the bracelet. To remove beads you "unscrew" the bead as though you were unscrewing a nut. Be careful adding other brand beads to a Pandora bracelet. If you damage the bracelet or the threads it is not covered under Pandora's warranty.
