Is a Pandora charm bracelet an appropriate gift for a girl turning 12?

I was given one of these bracelets recently, and would love to give one to my niece. This way, I could get her a charm every year and hopefully when she´s a young woman she´ll have a really nice memory bracelet.

Absolutely! I have recently discovered pandora charm bracelets and thought the same thing for my niece turning 12 in July! I have ordered from pugster and off ebay. You can get marked sterling silver .925 charms or rhodium (white gold) plated charms for very little. I have decided that I am going to give starter bracelets with charms for most of my x-mas list. I have bought a lot of 50 glass murano beads for 9.99. I have bought a set of 10 clip beads for 6.50. And I have bought a mixed set of 30 beads for 19.99 all free s&h. The pandora bracelet itself I have gotten on ebay sellers new (plated) for 6.50-7.99. I did purchase a few ’special’ charms that were more expensive. Her bracelet has a sterling silver puffed heart, her initial, an eiffel tower, and two glass beads. Also I plan to add 2 clips. Originially I wanted to start hers off by giving only 3 charms but I haven’t decided yet. They come in different sizes I went with the 17cm which is 6.7″ Most of what adults would wear (guessing) is 18cm (7.1″) for a small adult, 19cm (7.5″) medium adult, 20cm (7.9″) large adult and 21cm for maybe plus size this is 8.3″. I thought of maybe an anklet but was unsure about the size. I know adult anklets are 9″ and a 22cm would be 8.7″ so she would probably be a 20cm or 21cm but idk. for myself I have gotten a cute troll sterling seahorse, a lighthouse and a cameo troll bead
