PANDORA SHINE Collection Overview and Introduction

Today the new Pan­do­ra Shine col­lec­tion is launch­ing world­wide and we can final­ly tell you about it! Pan­do­ra has been very care­ful about this launch, but now that every­thing is offi­cial­ly known, we will bring you a detailed descrip­tion of this line with all the nec­es­sary HQ pho­tos and com­ments!

For those who don’t already know, Pan­do­ra Shine is a new line of 18k gold plat­ed jew­el­ry that will be avail­able as part of the Pan­do­ra Spring 2018 col­lec­tion.

In April, a few more copies will be released with the Moth­er’s Day 2018 col­lec­tions.

Pandora Shine — Overview

Pan­do­ra Shine is Pan­do­ra’s first major new con­cept since the launch of the Pan­do­ra Rose line back in 2014, which is why it has had such a huge mar­ket­ing cam­paign that involved blog­gers, a myr­i­ad of pro­mos and ads. To begin with, the col­lec­tion will only be sold in con­cept stores and online.

Shine Jew­el­ry is 925 ster­ling sil­ver plat­ed with 18k gold. Exter­nal­ly, they will be very dif­fer­ent from the exist­ing Pan­do­ra line of sol­id 14K gold, and will also be less yel­low live.

The coat­ing con­sists of sev­er­al lay­ers — the high­est stan­dard sil­ver is cov­ered with pal­la­di­um, and then with a very thick lay­er of 18-carat gold.

Bracelets Pandora Shine

Bracelet Pan­do­ra Smooth Bracelet is the clos­est thing to a tra­di­tion­al Pan­do­ra charm bracelet — it does­n’t have threads, so you’ll need sil­i­cone-lined clips or rub­ber inserts under­neath to keep your beads in place.

Slid­ing bracelet has a great fin­ish. We’d love to use it for a mini bee design in Shine!

We love this ban­gle bracelet with heart shaped clasp — the con­trast between the met­als looks great.

Bracelet Hon­ey­bee - the only ver­sion of the bracelet not for charms, and it will be released, unfor­tu­nate­ly, in a lim­it­ed ver­sion.

Charms Pandora Shine

One piece of jew­el­ery fea­tured exten­sive­ly in Pan­do­ra’s pre-release cam­paign is the pen­dant. Queen Beeand you can see why — she’s beau­ti­ful­ly detailed, strik­ing and yet very cute with her crushed heart detail. In addi­tion, the motif of the queen bee plays pret­ty well with the idea of ​​female empow­er­ment, which is cur­rent­ly one of the main places in the Pan­do­ra mar­ket­ing cam­paign — “do cel­e­brate, do shine, do Pan­do­ra” (Eng­lish — “cel­e­brate, shine, be with Pan­do­ra).

Luck­i­ly, Heart and Bee free of all sorts of enam­eled details or glit­ter, and we real­ly like the dan­gling bee detail. This bead is one of our favorites but would like to know if it is actu­al­ly thread­ed.

This open­work bead may become our favorite bee jew­el­ry and we think it would look great with Enchant­ed  Gar­den Glass Mura­no glass.

Charm Gold­en Hon­ey offers a beau­ti­ful com­bi­na­tion of col­ors. As we have said many times, we like enam­eled details in jew­el­ry if they are of high qual­i­ty, and this amber enam­el looks like a real hon­ey­comb.

Hon­ey­comb Lace loose­ly relat­ed to oth­er jew­el­ery themes of this line, sole­ly due to the detail­ing in the form of hon­ey­combs.

Final­ly, for the charms of this line, we have Sweet as Hon­ey. Of course, we would have pre­ferred it with­out the inlaid stones on the shack­le and bee­hive, and, most like­ly, the small bee-shaped detail could have been made more vis­i­ble so that it stood out more against this dec­o­ra­tion, for exam­ple with the help of black enam­eled stripes.

Look­ing through the fac­to­ry images, you may not have noticed that the gold­en swirls of the bee­hive sur­round the tiger’s eye stone in the cen­ter of the charm, and it looks quite dain­ty.

With this first col­lec­tion, Pan­do­ra has been care­ful to select motifs and con­cepts that are active­ly com­ple­ment­ed and enhanced by gold met­al – in addi­tion to hon­ey­combs and bum­ble­bees, we have two solar-themed charms. Trac­ery Rays of Sun­shine com­bines “warm” yel­low enam­el and stones.

You are my Sun­shine, with a cute inscrip­tion on the back. The inlaid stones on the shack­le seem redun­dant, but in gen­er­al, this jew­el­ry leaves a pleas­ant impres­sion.

There is only one charm in the Pan­do­ra Shine col­lec­tion from Mura­no glass, offer­ing a swirling white glass design. The com­bi­na­tion of white and gold not only looks great, but is also quite ver­sa­tile.

Charm Filled with Romance is one of our favorite Pan­do­ra heart orna­ments and we have it in Sil­ver and Rose ver­sions!

The only safe­ty chain in Shine avail­able at launch is this clasp Logo. It has a sil­i­cone lin­ing which should be effec­tive on a Shine bracelet Smooth Moments.

The clip Shin­ing Ele­gance has a sil­i­cone pad inside and it will work well on any of the three Shine charm bracelets above.

There are also two reg­u­lar clips, how­ev­er you will need sil­i­cone inserts to use them with any of Shine’s bracelets as nei­ther of them has threads which seems a lit­tle odd. We were sur­prised not to see the tra­di­tion­al clasp bracelet at Pan­do­ra Shine.

We’re glad they includ­ed a sim­ple clip in Shine, with no extra inlays, but it would be nice to see some­thing that does­n’t dis­play the Pan­do­ra brand so much. A sim­ple ball clip, per­haps in the shape of a hon­ey­comb, would be a great addi­tion to the over­all “bee” motif!

Gold­en Pavé Ball has many dif­fer­ent small details where stones of dif­fer­ent sizes and col­ors are com­bined.

Fin­ish­ing off with charms, we have a mini bee for medal­lions. We’re not sure about the idea of ​​wear­ing a lit­tle bee in a lock­et — it might look like a real insect!

Jewelry Pandora Shine

Charm Rays of Sun­shine has a match­ing pen­dant — it’s very large and prob­a­bly bet­ter suit­ed for a neck­lace than a bracelet.

There is also a hang­ing Hon­ey­comb Lace.

A sim­ple Shine chain would be a great addi­tion to the above pen­dants.

The chain length of this neck­laces is 45 cm, but can be adjust­ed to 42 cm or 38 cm.

Chok­er Hon­ey­bee has a lim­it­ed edi­tion. It’s beau­ti­ful, but chok­ers go in and out of fash­ion all the time.

Ring Hon­ey­comb Lace, like his sis­ter, is a very bright thing. Although not every­one likes mas­sive rings, it is very pleas­ant to look at!

Ring Hon­ey­bee - anoth­er piece of lim­it­ed edi­tion jew­el­ry, and anoth­er piece from the “bee” col­lec­tion that looks incred­i­bly good. The shape of the hon­ey­comb ring is incred­i­bly beau­ti­ful!

Based on the fac­to­ry images, we are not sure of the strong con­trast between the yel­low stone and gold met­al in this ring.

Enchant­ed Crown will be released this spring in Rose and Sil­ver.

The fol­low­ing set of rings offer Shine ver­sions of exist­ing Pan­do­ra designs. We espe­cial­ly like Linked Love in gold — this is such a beau­ti­ful, but ele­gant ring!

Stud Ear­rings Bee & Heart pret­ty enough, but we’re not sure every­one will enjoy wear­ing dif­fer­ent ear­rings.

Also check out the ear­rings. Hon­ey­comb Lace.

And final­ly, ear­rings PANDORA For­ev­er.
