Pandora have since become available and I adore them even more than I initially
did. I think these are absolutely perfectly styled for the holiday season. Not
only do they offer a decadent and indulgent sparkling Pandora Charms
that’s just
perfect for the party season but they’re on trend for 2012′s pavé
craze.
There’s no specific release date for the Pandora Christmas 2012
collection, Pandora, hitting the stores and it’s safe to assume it will receive
a staggered release. My best guess is that these will start to appear towards
the end of October and be available globally by the end of November. Pandora are
going to want to ensure full availability by early December as Christmas
shopping commences.
Early in September, I published the news that Pandora
were set to release another range of Chinese zodiac charms in early 2013. While
they have a collection of existing Pandora charms, they’re quite dated and
overly cute looking so many were hoping to see something contemporary. Further
came the news that the formally limited edition Dragon dangle charm, debuted in
early 2012 in celebration of the Chinese New Year was set to become a permanent
feature with this release.
The Dragon charm is a stunning example of
pandora Silver
Charms
design at it’s best. It’s delicate but intricate and offers
a contemporary twist on the theme. The pictures of the entire collection were
ultimately leaked and in my opinion, the Pandora remains the absolute highlight
of the range.
Obviously it’s far too early to offer a release date for
these charms however with the Chinese New Year celebrated in early February, I’d
predict we’ll begin to see these very soon after the Christmas period. The most
advanced release to which there is any firm news regarding is the Pandora
Valentine’s 2013 collections. Last month saw images of a beautiful bracelet gift
set leaked. This bracelet features a wholly new “love” charm and two sparkling
pavé clips. Unfortunately Pandora
compatible Beads
were reporting that the set is due to be a US
exclusive though it’s not yet known if the individual components will be
available globally.
More recently a second gift set emerged for
Valentine’s Day though this one is a necklace and earring set as opposed to
charms. I was incredibly fortunate in receiving the pre-release images of the
Pandora Halloween collection some weeks ago and the feedback from collectors has
been incredible. Evidently there’s a lot of enthusiasm for Halloween among
Pandora fans and this is set to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2012.
