Ok I'm in for a late prezzie for my girl for Christmas as we are traveling on Wednesday, I only have tommoro to purchase something. Over the years I have purchased from Tiffany and swarovski but neverless from pandora, just made some research on pandora and their stuff looks pretty attractive, but also had my eyes on the other two. What would you recommend as out of the three?
T&C Vs Swarovski Vs Pandora

Pandora is a bit… ordinary. I think the bead collecting is a bit like entering those magazine subscriptions where you get bits of a toy model every issue until you build the entire thing (and suddenly realise that you have mortgaged the house to do so)
Tiffanys is iconic. Can't really go wrong there.
As something a bit different, how about a "St Christopher" charm - the patron Saint of travellers?
My experience:
Pandora - overrated, expensive, subject to taste (I personally wouldn't want to be gifted anything Pandora)
Swarovski - costume jewellery generally not designed for every day wear ie. this stuff will not last, avoid for a long lasting gift
Tiffany - expensive for what you get, suitable for every day, my pick of the bunch, there are some nice pieces in silver like the beaded bracelets for $210http://www.tiffany.com.au/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=…
Get Tiffany if you can afford it. It is classic and wearable in more occasions compared to the other two.
Pandora is just overpriced products. Can find them on sale for 50%-70% off in Aus and UK
Pandora is nice for bracelets
and u can get more later (cost around 30-50 each for the cheaper ones)
help u with presents for next year or so (can get hearts for valentines, birthdays they have different ones, and Christmas ones)
they have a deal now where u spend 150 u get a bracelet free (was on last week, hopefully still on)
tiffany is a expensive habit! don't feed it! lol
Swarovski is nice for figurines but also expensive LOL
