Do you happen to have come across a vintage bracelet like this was it normal for them not to stamp the other beads? Hello this is my first post to the eBay community hi thank you guys for taking a look I need some help I found this Pandora bracelet at goodwill and I’m having a hard time telling if this is real or not. Most of the charms have the 925 stamp and the bracelet itself has the Pandora stamp and 925 but I can’t tell anything about the gold beads I can’t seem to find any markings.

Thank you kind Sir! Yes I’m thinking they may not be, maybe they are gold plated? Was thinking of taking it to the pandora store at mall

Pandora bracelets weren't sold until 2000. Is that considered vintage for jewelry?

In addition to the missing crown over the "o" your bracelet has a 925 marking on the clasp. On the real deal, there's no 925 on the clasp.

In addition, Pandora charms have a marking in addition to 925.
IMO, neither the bracelet nor the charms are Pandora.

I agree, none of the beads or the bracelet are authentic.
There are literally thousands of knock off Pandora pieces for every authentic one.

IMO, the bracelet is counterfeit but I wouldn't call any of the beads "fake." Unless they have "Pandora" markings, they can legally be sold. But beware, there are NON-silver beads with fake 925 sterling markings so just because it says 925 doesn't mean it's really 925!

True, if they don't have a Pandora marking they aren't "fake" I should have thought of that. I've bought them myself for the Granddaughters to make jewelry with, usually 10 pieces for $1.
