I bought a lot of spacers for my wife's bracelet when we were first filling it out and I paid full price at a local major brand jewelry store. Now my 11 year old daughter has a bracelet and she is using a few of my wife's old spacers and two of these. I can't tell the difference. Save your money and buy these ones when you are getting started. Once you have enough charms, you really only need 2 of these. Both bracelets are original Pandora and these spacers work fine.
