The Wintry Delight leapt out at me cheap pandora charms as a must-have as soon as I first saw the Winter 2017 sneak peeks. It’s a simple, yet wonderfully executed design. The deep blue of the enamel offers a vibrant, yet elegant splash of colour without the expense of the other pave or CZ-based beads. The contrast of the polished silver snowflakes against the deep blue is just beautiful. I’ve been working on a powder blue bracelet on an oxidised chain, combining some older periwinkle blue muranos with classic silver beads. I decided, however, that the light blue glass didn’t bring enough colour to the design. The deep blue of the Wintry Delight definitely adds a bit of oomph and gifts the design a lot more interest. If you wanted to do this properly, you could add another deep blue charm from the Winter 2017 collection to each section and I’m sure the end result would be stunning! I have decided against this, however – I’m actually going to add some Pandora Rose pieces to give this bracelet a bit more warmth and colour. I’ll post a picture when that’s ready! ^^Instead, I’m going to keep it simple. My Wintry Delight charm is going on the Unique as you are LE bangle from last year. It’s no surprise to me that this charm is one of the most popular new beads of the release, offering subtle yet vibrant colour, pretty snowflake detailing and a lower price point. It didn’t disappoint in person – it’s well made, and absolutely gorgeous whether part of a bracelet design or as a stand alone bead. It might not be as exciting as a new character bead, but it’s really lovely nonetheless. Today’s post rounds off the week with an updated look at the upcoming Pandora Valentine’s Day 2018 collection! I previously posted some sneak peeks a month or so ago, but this post offers a comprehensive preview of the upcoming jewellery. With the usual pinks, a dash of red, and some controversial lips motifs, this pandora uk outlet sale release is both conventional Valentine’s Day Pandora and a slight departure from it, at the same time.
Next – charms! These pandora charms sale clearance range quite a lot in style, with some more elegant decorative pieces such as the Two Hearts spacer or the Key to my Heart pendant, to some busy, colourful designs such as the Explosion of Love. My favourite of these is the Shape of Love charm, a beautiful faceted design with a really rich colour (although it’s hard to tell whether this will look more red or pink in person). It looks like it has raised silver dots either side of it. I have to admit that I don’t get the ‘kiss’ beads very much, and will be interested to see how they do. Finally, we have rings and earrings! The You & Me ring is engraved underneath the stone – I can’t tell whether it has something carved into the stone or not though! The pink pave earrings to the bottom left did not appear in the NA catalogue I saw, and I’m wondering whether they are possibly exclusive to some regions or maybe to Jared in the US. This image was posted recently by the Disney Parks blog, showcasing three new Parks exclusive charms. There are two button-style designs with enamel detailing, one featuring Minnie and the other a Christmas-hat-wearing Mickey. To complete the set, there’s a new silver heart, with the classic Minnie/Mickey kiss motif picked out in red enamel. There aren’t too many details out about it yet: no price has even been posted. However, we do know that it will be available from Ever After Jewelry Co. at the Disney Springs at Walt Disney World, in Florida. The set will be sold starting from 25 November. There’s no confirmation as to whether it will be available online, however. While admittedly the charms are just more engraved versions of existing designs, it’s nice to see them offering a limited edition souvenir for Parks visitors over the holiday season. This seems to be an increasing trend with Pandora North America – releasing engraved versions of stock charms to tie in with various regional events that Pandora wouldn’t normally cover. It must be an affordable and speedy way to release charms that have a more limited appeal, without having to go through a lengthy design process pandora charms disney
