Gosh knows why Pandora wasn’t meant to open that box … if it contained treasures as varied, eye-catching, unique and fun as the ones the Pandora jewelry range does, it could only have brought happiness to the world! No matter what month your friend or loved one is born in, a Pandora bracelet is a handy, long-lasting and personalised gift to give them. But if they have a birthday in April, and you aren’t quite sure where to start your search for Pandora beads, then read on for some handy hints.

Of course, there is a range of birthstone jewelry in the Pandora range as well, to make gift searches easy and quick for the time strapped. Go to the Design Your Own Pandora bracelet page, and simply click on the birthstone link on the left hand side. For affordability, the birthstone Pandora bead for April is actually the quartz - looking very similar to the diamond, only if you buy this bead, you can also afford to take your lucky lady out to dinner to wear it There are diamond beads available for the hardcore diamond fans - have a browse under the gemstone tab, where you’ll find beads like this gorgeous one that incorporates a set diamond. Incidentally, under the gemstone tab, there is also a huge range of white cubic zirconia pieces. Again, this looks very similar to the April birthstone, the diamond, but is much more affordable. If you prefer to lash out on an extravagant design or high-quality metal, rather than the gemstone, cubic zirconia gives you the freedom to do that.

Diamond jewelry is not the only thing you can buy if you are looking for an April birthday gift, of course! Your friend or loved one will either be an Aries or a Taurus if they are born in April. Aries covers the 1st to 20th of April, and Taurus the 21st to the 30th. The general characteristics of a starsign can give you great hints as to what gift would be your best bet, as well. Arians are fiery, independent leaders with more than a little stubbornness to their names. Taureans, symbolized by the bull, can be just as stubborn, but are dependable, earthy and practical souls when they are in a good mood! For your independent Arian, always keen to stand out from the herd of Rams, this herring gemstone Pandora bead with orange cubic zirconia could be a great gift.

This wide, yellow ridged bead could be another lovely Arian present. They are a fire sign and also have a fiery nature (in the best possible way!), and this bright, lively yellow bead is likely to fit in well with that. It is not such an intricate design that it will overwhelm beads next to it, either - you could buy several of these to use as a background on a Pandora bracelet, with other more detailed beads as features.

If you are looking for a Taurean present, you could always go for the zodiac sign bead - again, these simple beads could be doubled tripled, quadrupled … (etc!) up, to form a background for more colorful or detailed beads.

The simple and earthy Taurean is likely to appreciate subtle beads - have a browse through the gold section, the silver section, and the silver-gold combined section to look for something just right for your female friend or loved one. The plain material won’t be off-putting to the solid, placid Taurus, yet there is enough of a range to make sure that her Pandora bracelet won’t look like anybody else’s. There are some really fun, cute and unique beds in the silver section, like this silver fish bead (no, not a silverfish bead ;-)). Another unique, and cutely symbolic bead is this Pandora’s box silver bead.

Spacers are necessary on any Pandora bracelet, especially if you are buying your loved one the bracelet to start with, not just adding charms to it for them. One or two lonely charms make for not only a visually unbalanced piece of jewelry, but a physically not-very-comfortable one! Spacers are a cost effective way to start off a bracelet, and this horizontally patterned one will appeal to your Taurean friend. They are only $13 each, so will also find the seal of approval from these money and security-oriented bulls.
