For the past week I’ve been doing a series of posts on the benefits of purchasing quality Pandora-style charms instead of the overpriced authentic Pandora charms. Today’s feature is the Lady Bug Pandora Charm.

I’m honestly not even sure how Pandora is calling their silver charm a ladybug charm. It looks like a basketball with dots on it. On the other hand, the SS bead is bright and colorful, and there’s no doubt it’s a ladybug. It’s up to you, but my bracelet has one on the right. Click on the picture to buy it now.
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:

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.

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.
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:

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.
