Using a competitor's trademarked products and logos in marketing is nothing new. The fast food restaurants do it, Coke/Pepsi use it (the delivery guy commercials, where a Coke driver is caught drinking Pepsi). The people Pandora should be going after are the foreign factories making knock-offs and putting Pandora's name on the product.
There is a vast difference between saying "my bead fits Pandora bracelets" and stamping the Pandora name on a $3 knockoff bead.
