Hi,

I've had 2 pregnancy losses and bH I also have 2 healthy children. I want to find a way to discreetly memorialize my losses and also have one of those like first-initial necklaces that are in. I put a lot of thought into it and realized that those necklaces are trendy and also impossible to add to, and I would love to be able to add to it when I have future children iyH.

I came across the idea of getting the Pandora bracelet since it's kindov like eternal and meant to be added to over your lifetime.

I'm a 32 year old woman, is this in style in the frum world? PLEASE only answer if you know, don't tell me to do what I want to do to commemorate everything. It is important to me that I don't stand out as awkward for having something that is either not 'in' or age appropriate. I am open to ideas of similar types of jewelry too that are classic and addable.

Also, is there a specific preferred or in-style one?

Thank you!

Pandora bracelets are very in for the 11-18 year old crowd. There definitely is a way to get a necklace you add on to. I've seen many women add initial charms/birthstones to necklaces as they have kids.

Funny, in Israel pandora bracelets are very very in style now. My Israeli SILS all have them and we are in our 20s-30s. My BIL just got engaged and bought his kallah a pandora bracelet.
I havent seen them popular in America.

When I'm working in the secular world I see adult women of all ages wearing them. In the frum world I see kids and young teens wearing them.

Pandora bracelets are more commonly worn by preteens/ teens in the frum world.

It's apparently for oldies here. If only for the price. Very in as a classic.

It’s the perfect bas mitzvah gift here, and then people can buy charms and they come in all prices.

Yes.
My 12 yo daughter and my niece both got them as bas mitzvah present.

She claims all her class are wearing it so seems very in for teens.

I have a charm bracelet I inherited from my great grandmother, when rhey wete first in fashion. I wear it once in a while, and regularly get compliments on it.

It has charms that my grandmother and my mother added, and one or two more modern ones that I bought. I don't know what it's worth objectively, but it has huge sentimental value.
