The Pandora New Season Collection

Well it’s finally out and apologies for being a little late for blogging about this fantastic new collection. It looks like the theme of the new collection is Spring, Flowers and cuteness all round which makes sense as I guess, as it’s the start of the Spring season in Europe. A bit weird since it’s Autumn here in Sunny Australia, but I guess Autumn is as good as any season for flowers and a bit of Spring cheer, and there’s a really cool Easter bunny charm that I think is the highlight of the new charms! You can see the whole collection here, but I’ll go through some of the themes and special new designs that I picked up on, as well as my personal favourites. Get ready, it’s a great collection this time around! Drop Charms The collection of charms this time around seems to be abundant with drop and dangle charms and pendants. Dangle charms are a great accessory and gives a bit of variance to bracelets. I’ve even seem some really cool bracelets with a whole dangle theme to them, though it might be hard to pull off with just Pandora charms. This collection features something that I think is particularly exciting and beautiful – Murano glass drop charms! As you might know I’m a hard core fan of Murano glass beads and charms and these dangle variations have captured my heart. A must buy! Spring Flowers in Bloom According to this press release this new range of jewellery from Pandora is about ‘the enduring beauty of cherry blossoms in Spring’. Half the collection is centred around the theme with cherry blossom earrings, pendants and charms, but if you’re a really into the theme of the cherry blossom then the show stealers here are the Murano glass cherry blossom charm that in a really subtly tinted charm which mimics that softs pink petals of the cherry blossom and the silver multi-layered ring with a pearl and pink enamel bouquet of cherry blossoms that would look absolutely perfect with a simple summer dress and sandals, or even a few fancier evening gowns. Fairy Tale Charms This range of charms also features some really special fairy tale pieces with characters straight out of the picture books. These are perfect first charms for younger girls who might only have one or two spacers of their bracelet, but with the detail and craftsmanship I think they make a great addition to any bracelet with more feminine themes. The ones that really caught my eyes from these new charms are the castle and nightingale charms which have that delicacy and intricate details that make me fall in love with charms all over again. Personal Favourites – The Cutest Charms Yet! I’ve got a real weakness for cute, furry little creatures on my bracelet and this spring collection has given me a whole new set of silver charms to fawn over and save up for. The Easter bunny will definitely be the first purchase out of the new collection, but I’m having trouble deciding on the Scottish dog and smooth elephant. What do you think?
