A simple way to choose a Pandora charm, and a great way to start off a bracelet, is with a birthstone charm. Emerald is the birthstone for May, but in order to keep the Pandora range affordable, emerald has been replaced with chrysoprase for May birthdays. Chrysoprase is a type of green quartz, that comes in shades of green from a vibrant (and healthy!) fresh apple green, to a deeper and more mysterious dark green.  The chrysoprase charm is pictured at the beginning of the article. It is affordable enough for you to get several of these to use as segmenters and dividers for the rest of the bracelet, giving it a more unified feel.

Another helping hand along the path to the perfect Pandora present for a May birthday is knowing what starsign your loved one is. It can be surprising, and then scary (!), how accurate zodiac predictors of personality are. Use your head to put two and two together, and you’ll have some great ideas for your loved one’s birthday. For example, May is divided into Taurus and Gemini, with Taurus being the ruling sign for the 1st to the 21st of May, and Gemini taking up the 22nd to the 31st. Taureans are usually dependable and responsible souls, with an earthy personality. Gemini women are often sociable, active and somewhat whimsical … they are defined by the statement ‘I think’. Filigree is a lovely design, and very suitable for Geminis - this silver filigree bead with blue cubic zirconias would be a great choice for your Gemini woman.

You could also choose several similar, but slightly varied charms to use as segmenters, if you are purchasing the bracelet to start some lucky woman off on her Pandora journey! This hanging green gem is quite similar to the chrysoprase, but not exactly the same. You’ll find it in the gemstone section of the Pandora charms page, where you’ll also find other green gems like this Gold bead with Hanging Green Cubic Zirconia - more of a splash out item.

If you have a Taurean lass (yes, even if that ‘lass’ happens to be your mother ;-), she is most likely the dependable and responsible type - fancy lacework and delicate frippery won’t appeal to her.

Looking a little further afield for the Geminis having a birthday this May, the silver and gold section has a great selection of fun, whimsical beads just right for the fascinating and full-of-zip Gemini. This Queen Bee with a gold crown is a great example - she puts a little grin on your face just looking at her! A queen bee having a good old belly laugh

However, if you want to start (or continue!) a Pandora bracelet in a little more indulgent and luxurious style this May, check out the gold section. We mentioned that filigree items are a great choice for Gemini women - this filigree stars gold bead is simple enough to be easily coordinated, but cute and fun just the same.
