Kate Middleton Wearing Links of London Earrings In Engagement Picture

Future Princess Kate Middleton, fiancée of Prince William, was donning the Links of London Hope Egg Earrings in White Topaz in their official engagement pictures this weekend.

We’re excited to see this because we’ve had the Links Hope Egg Topaz earrings for awhile and they are really beautiful.

Princess Kate always looks beautiful, but she looks exceptionally beautiful in these Hope Egg Topaz earrings in her engament pictures this week.  I’m sure every girlfriend, wife, or mom would love to be their own princess in these earrings from Links of London.

Links of London Friendship Bracelet

Our Links of London friendship bracelets have been the biggest seller of the Christmas season this year.  I’m excited about it too, because I love these bracelets.  When we first started selling Links of London, the staff at Delightful Daisy was split in half.  Some of us really loved these friendship bracelets, while others thought they were a little pricey.  I was one of the people that loved them!

Well, with Christmas approaching we’ve had trouble keeping these in stock, and just made an emergency order with Links of London last night to fill up our shelves again.

And the best part about them is that they usually sell in pairs, if not 3-4 at a time.  As a store owner, that’s a great thing!  ;)

If you want to get some Links of London friendship bracelets before Christmas, make sure to get your order placed as soon as possible.  If it shows something out of stock, give us a call we may have it coming in in the next few days and could easily have it delivered to you in time.

Happy shopping!

Pandora Style Love Charm

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:

 

OHM Love and Loyalty Charm

$25 on DelightfulDaisy.com

OHM Love Cube Bead

$25 on DelightfulDaisy.com

OHM Chinese Letter of Love Bead

$25 on DelightfulDaisy.com

SS I Love You Bead

SS Gold and Silver Pretty Love Heart Charm

$30 on DelightfulDaisy.com

SS Heart Ring Bead

SS I Love MUM Bead

SS Love Mom Heart Bead

SS Mother - I Love You

SS Heart Bead

Sterling Silver Dangle Love Bead

$18 on DelightfulDaisy.com

Antique Love Heart Bead

$18 on DelightfulDaisy.com

 

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.

 

Pandora He Loves Me Charm

$170 at PreciousAccents.com

Pandora Everlasting Heart Charm

$30 at PreciousAccents.com

Pandora Love Charm With Diamonds

$410 at PreciousAccents.com

Pandora Love Bouquet Charm with Diamonds

$430 at PreciousAccents.com

Pandora Love Me Charm

$50 at PreciousAccents.com

Pandora I Love You Charm

$70 at PreciousAccents.com

 

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.

 

 

Pandora Style Golf Club Charm

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 for their genius marketing campaign rather than higher quality charms.

For today’s example, we’re catering to the golf lovers.  Delightful Daisy offers multiple Pandora Style golf charms:

 

OHM Golf Bag

$25 on DelightfulDaisy.com

Biagi Golf Club Bead

$36 on DelightfulDaisy.com

Pandora Golf Ball Charm

$75 at PreciousAccents.com

 

I’ll be honest, I like this Pandora charm.  My argument is not that Pandora is not of high quality, it absolutely is.  But I like the two other Pandora style golf charms just as much, and at a far lower cost.  In this case, you could buy both the gold club bag and golf club dangle charm and still spend $14 less than the Pandora golf club charm.

Why You Should Buy Pandora Style Charms

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 York City, or buying a fake Gucci bag in a back room in Shanghai, China.

If you’ve been shopped around at Delightful Daisy, you’ll see we carry many name brands like Thomas Sabo, Links of London, Alex and Ani, and Jessica Elliot.  So why do we stop short of selling Pandora, and instead choose to sell “Pandora Style” charms?  It’s simple: Because the charms we sell are not knock-offs, they are quality charms of the same and many times more quality.  Not convinced?  Well, I’m going to dedicate the next few weeks on this blog to showing you our beads compared to Pandora and Chamilia, along with common prices.  I’ll let you decide.

And remember, Delightful Daisy has a no-questions-asked return policy to show the confidence we have in our products.

I’ll start off here with a few examples:

Which one do you prefer?

OHM Cat In A Basket Bead

$25 on DelightfulDaisy.com

Pandora Kitty Cat Charm

$25 at PreciousAccents.com

 

If I’m a cat lover, I’ll take the cute little cat in a basket over the weird fat Pandora cat that looks more like a bunny.  This is fun, right?  Let’s do another one.

 

SS Enamel Penguin Bead

$25 on DelightfulDaisy.com

Pandora Penguin Charm

Thomas Sabo Perfume

Thomas Sabo, famous for their sterling silver jewelry and charm bracelets, has just expanded their product line to include a new Fragrance.

Thomas Sabo Charm Rose adds a new dimension to the Thomas Sabo Charm collection. This refreshing and eclectic perfume combines an flowery aroma with a slightly oriental note.

Beginning in August 2010, the new Charm Rose eau de parfum  will be exclusively available in shops in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.  Starting in September, the Thomas Sabo Perfume will be available worldwide and in online shops.

Thomas Sabo Spring 2010 Charm Collection

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 charm club collection is the freshest set of charms that Thomas Sabo has released since we got involved with them! Not only do they have Disney charms like Mickey Mouse and Minney Mouse, there are a number of new charms such as Thomas Sabo soccer and football charms. Also there is the huge array of tropical themed charms such as the bikini charm, a sun charm, an alligator, a dolphin, and a parrot charm. 

Oh! And don’t forget the new “just married” charm!  If you thought the old “just married” charm was cute, you should see the new version (just watch the video!)

Lee Angel Horn Chain Link Necklace

 

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 is the way it utilizes round white links of various sizes to show some chaos and nature, although we know Lee Angel is anything but chaotic!

Lee Angel Oversize Chain Necklace

The hammered, asymmetric links make a bold artistic statement.

This hammered silver necklace from Lee Angel ($375) is made of silvertone brass, and adds so clear glass stones. The awesome thing about this necklace is you can wear it to work with a simple dress, or totally pimp out an outfit when you go to the club.

To contrast the silver, Lee Angel added brown loops that hook into the mini-link back.
