Our PANDORA Mall of America staff is often asked how PANDORA jewelry can be authenticated. With other designers creating pieces similar to PANDORA products, it can be difficult for people to determine genuine
Pandora Jewelry Set US jewelry pieces from copies and look-a-likes. Below are a few steps you can take to determine whether the piece in question is real.
Look for Identifying Markers The first step in determining the authenticity of
Buy Pandora Jewelry Set jewelry is to inspect two key markings: the maker’s mark and the quality mark. While these two markings don’t guarantee authenticity outright, they are the best starting point.
In the United States, a maker’s mark is a stamp that identifies the origin of a particular piece of jewelry. With the exception of our smallest pieces, most PANDORA jewelry is stamped with the letters “ALE,” which represent the name of
Pandora Jewelry Set Sale founder Algot Enevoldsen. Some other countries require specific stamps, too. PANDORA does meet these requirements by adding additional stamps to the jewelry in these countries. In the United Kingdom, the maker’s mark is referred to as the sponsor’s mark. The Danish equivalent is the responsibility mark.
The quality mark, as it’s referred to in the U.S., is used to guarantee the purity of the metal used, as well as certify that the metal is genuine. In the U.K, the equivalent of the quality mark is the hallmark. In Denmark, it’s the fineness mark. Nearly all sterling silver
Pandora St.Barts Jewelry Set Online is stamped with “S925.” The “S” stands for silver and the numbers represent the silver purity in parts per thousand (92.5% pure silver).
