As an authorized Pandora retailer, SHEUG sees hundreds of counterfeit rings yearly. Fake Pandora rings flood marketplaces, but our experts have identified definitive signs to protect your investment. Here’s how to verify authenticity before buying.
🔍 The 5-Second Visual Test
Genuine Pandora rings always have:
✅ Crisp "925 ALE/THA" stamps (inside band, laser-engraved)
✅ Pandora crown logo (micro-engraved near clasp/stones)
✅ Smooth edges (no rough seams or burrs)
✅ Consistent metal color (no brass peeking through)
Fake red flags:
- Blurry stamps
- Missing crown logo
- Discolored metal
⚖️ The Weight & Magnet Test
-
Weight Check:
-
Authentic: Feels substantial (solid silver)
-
Fake: Light/hollow (zinc alloy)
-
-
Magnet Test:
-
Real Pandora: Non-magnetic
-
Fake: Often sticks (steel cores)
-
SHEUG Lab Finding: 89% of counterfeit rings fail these physical tests.
💎 Stone & Setting Inspection
| Feature | Real Pandora Ring | Fake Ring |
|---|---|---|
| Stones | Clear cubic zirconia | Cloudy glass |
| Prongs | Neat, even claws | Crooked/missing prongs |
| Enamel | Smooth, bubble-free | Chipped/uneven |
Pro Tip: Use a jeweler’s loupe (or phone zoom) to check prong alignment.

✔ Blue Pandora box (holographic sticker on bottom)

✔ Care booklet & warranty card
Warning: "Pandora-style" boxes = guaranteed fake.
