Everyone knows in the jewellery business the Christmas time
is the peak season for new designs, usually with a Christmas theme like stars,
red and green colours and a lot of silver to remind us of the iconic Christmas
snow (even if we live in Australia!). This year Pandora has come out with
several new charms and jewelleries that are a little out of the norm and super
cute as well! There are the usual bright red and green charms that go great
with any pieces of silver that you have to create a festive feel, or if you
have a nice green or red dress the charms will definitely bring the outfit to a
new level of elegance.
The real exciting pieces for me, however, come from some of
the charms that might get overlooked in the extensive new range of pieces. The newest
addition to the Pandora line is charms with the ‘Pavé’ which is kind of like a mosaic style consisting of small gems that cover the
metal’s surface so that none of very little of the charm’s metal is visible.
You’ve probably seen this style in other types of jewellery and it kind of
remind you of the home style plastic bead accessories that women commonly make
and hang from their mobiles and handbags. Pandora takes this concept to the
highest standard and from the previews (the collection isn’t out in any of my
local stores) the style really gives the Christmassy sparkling feeling. I love
the silver Pavé Star charm, if you look closely you can see the small star
patterns inside the star indent of the charm, a really nice touch and characteristic
of Pandora’s attention to detail!
The next thing that caught my eye was the super cute
Christmas theme charms with a stocking, gingerbread man and polar bear for this
year. The must-buy for me is by far the Gingerbread man dangle which is
coloured with a kind of see-through enamel that does a high-class job of moulding
a tiny gingerbread man. This is a definite Christmas item, but I feel like it
can go on my bracelet any time of the year and still look super cute and
fitting for a theme. I can’t wait to see the silver stocking charm in store as
it seems to have the little details like small toys stuffed inside the top of
the sock. I think this will be most popular charm bought as a gift for friends
and family, the more I look at it I think it will be perfect for my sister or
friend’s bracelet!
The last piece of the collection that set off my charm
cravings was the stud earrings with a deep bluish black pearl set in. Pandora
isn’t known really well for its earrings,
but these look absolutely gorgeous and totally Christmas appropriate with a
navy dress or a more theme appropriate dark green. You can even wear a few
holly leave in your hair to make these look like little berries.
Anyways, that’s my take on Pandora’s Christmas collection, overall a really cool new set of styles and a few charms that I’m absolutely crazy about for this year! Share your thoughts
about the new charms and collection below!
Till next time,
