We’ve had a lot of people ask us “What’s the difference between Pandora and Chamilia?” Well this is not a simple question because there are a lot of differences between the two companies. That’s why we’ve put together a “Pandora vs Chamilia” list to help explain these differences.

Pandora vs Chamilia Fact #1:
Chamilia is an American owned company whereas Pandora is a Danish company. Because of this, Chamilia has more charms that represent American values, such as sports, celebrations, and Disney characters. Chamilia has an exclusive partnership with Disney; therefore, they are the only ones that carry authentic Disney charms.

Pandora vs Chamilia Fact #2:
When looking at Pandora vs Chamilia people want to know which company has more to offer. Chamilia offers more charms than Pandora. Chamilia has over 600 charms, allowing for a variety of different combinations and styles. You can really design a bracelet that is truly you. You don’t have as many choices with Pandora so your options are limited. To look at the newest additions to the Chamilia line Click Here.

Pandora vs Chamilia Fact #3:
Pandora and Chamilia both have necklace options as well as bracelet options; however, with Chamilia you don’t just have the option of a regular chain necklace, you also have the choice of a drop chain necklace. Drop chain necklaces are becoming increasingly popular. You can design a drop chain necklace just as you would a charm bracelet. For more information on how to make a drop chain necklace visit: http://www.pandorajewelers.com/t-dropChain.aspx

Pandora vs Chamilia Fact #4:
When comparing Pandora vs Chamilia bracelets, Pandora offers only the snap clasp bracelet and the leather bracelet, but Chamilia offers much more. With Chamilia you can choose between a standard lobster clasp bracelet, a snap clasp bracelet, a toggle bracelet, and a bangle bracelet. We carry all the different Chamilia bracelets at Pandora Jewelers.

Pandora vs Chamilia Fact #5:
Both Pandora and Chamilia have locks for the bracelets so you can keep charms in certain places. Chamilia allows these locks to be placed anywhere on the bracelet; however, Pandora only allows these locks to be put in two specific spots on the bracelet. The Pandora bracelets have two ridges specifically designed for the locks, which keeps you from placing the locks wherever you want on your bracelet.

After reviewing our Pandora vs Chamilia list you can see that there are many differences. Although the two companies do share some similarities, such as the charms will work on both bracelets and both Pandora and Chamilia have the same return policy, the most important difference is that with Chamilia you have more options, more variety. If you are deciding which company to go with we hope our Pandora vs Chamilia list will help you in your decision. We carry the entire Chamilia line at Pandora Jewelers.

How Often Should You Service your Rolex?

Rolex recommends you service your watch every 3-4 years.

What goes into the service Rolex process?

When you send your Rolex in for servicing, it is important for you to realize how in-depth and intricate the service Rolex process is. You need to make sure you select a Rolex service that has the experience and tools necessary to smoothly tune-up your watch. For more information on how to select a Rolex cleaning company, visit our blog post on Rolex Cleaning. To give you an idea of the process, I have outlined what goes into to our most common Rolex Service process (the Pandora Jewelers Rolex Overhaul):

Our Service Rolex Overhaul Includes:

• Service Rolex Step 1: The movement is taken apart and put in a special cleaning solution.

• Service Rolex Step 2: Each part is painstakingly cleaned using a special cleaning solution and precision instruments.

• Service Rolex Step 3: Once all the parts have been cleaned, the movement is re-oiled and put back together.

• Service Rolex Step 4: The back gasket is replaced.

• Service Rolex Step 5: The watch is then timed. Our watchmaker uses a sophisticated, computerized timer to ensure that the watch is running accurately. If it is not, he will recalibrate it accordingly.

• Service Rolex Step 6: The watch is then pressure-tested to ensure that there are no water leaks and the watch is safe to dive with.

• Service Rolex Step 7: The case and band are then polished using a specialized polishing wheel to ensure that the entire watch and each link are properly polished.

• Service Rolex Step 8: After that, your watch is monitored for a few days to ensure it is keeping accurate time.

Each of these steps is done by our master Rolex technician, and as you can see, require a significant amount of skill. Any time you have your Rolex serviced, be sure to select a vendor who is willing to do all of these essential processes.
