Review: Pandora Timeless Elegance Bangle

The Pandora reviews continue today as I review the new Timeless Elegance bangle, which is not to be confused with the Twinkling Forever bangle that came out last year I think.

First Impression:

When I first saw this in a launch guide I have to say I loved it! When I saw it IRL I was not disappointed! If I could buy several of these at once to layer them it would be great, that would make a lovely stack.

Review:

When handling the bangle, it is a good, solid piece of silver, it comes in three sizes like the initial Moments bangle as in small, medium, and large. Here you can see a picture of the little trigger that one would use to open the bangle:

All you have to do is push in the trigger and out pops the latch, the part that catches the mechanism inside the bangle. Once opened you place the bangle around your wrist and firmly re-insert the latch inside the bangle to secure it.

I believe the Timeless Elegance bangle is smaller than the Twinkling Forever bangle because it’s hinged therefore it can afford to be smaller. I liked the Twinkling Forever bangle a lot, but found it hard to get on and off, and I didn’t want to go up a size in order to put the bangle on more easily because it was way too big. I know I’ve heard from other people that they had a similar problem like mine, they were either in between sizes or just found that putting the bangle on was uncomfortable.

I really loved how it looked layered with my other bracelets! If I had all the money in the world I would buy three of these and intersperse them with my other bangles and/or Moments bracelets. Out of the entire Spring collection this is the only  piece that I really, really liked!

Here you can see a close up of the milgrain detailing, again this is a decorative accent or embellishment that gives the bangle an older, more antique feel. I think the milgrain paired with a very lightly oxidation gives this piece a modern, yet vintage look, the best of both worlds.

In Conclusion:

I am not sorry to say that this is my favorite piece out of the entire Spring collection. The only thing I do wish is that the cubic zirconias would go around the entire bracelet, however that being said, the fact that it’s a much smaller bracelet, it should hug the wrist perfectly therefore it should be in theory hard for the bangle to twist around and have the cubic zirconia face down or facing the bottom of the wrist. This bracelet retails for $100 which I think is a bit steep (again because it has fewer stones than the Twinkling Forever bangle which has the same price point), I think it should be a bit cheaper but that is just my opinion. I have not decided whether I will be participating in the upcoming free bracelet promo, but if I do, most likely I would purchase this for the $100 and get a free bracelet, I could use one more Moment’s bracelet 😉 What do you think of this bangle? Do you love it? Do you hate it?
