PANDORA VALENTINE’S DAY 2018

True to form, in this col­lec­tion, the empha­sis is on pink hearts, just like in pre­vi­ous years, but with slight dif­fer­ences!

This col­lec­tion is dom­i­nat­ed by pink col­ors and con­tro­ver­sial lip motifs. On the one hand, this col­lec­tion is tra­di­tion­al in exe­cu­tion, but on the oth­er hand, it con­tains notes of a new trend.
The col­lec­tion was released on Jan­u­ary 11!

Read on and see for your­self!

We would like to start with pho­tos pro­vid­ed by Pan­do­ra her­self. The lock and key motifs have been used by Pan­do­ra many times before and form the key theme of the new Valen­tine col­lec­tion. Our favorite is a heart key pen­dant in ster­ling sil­ver with a lit­tle gold accent. In addi­tion there are ear­rings and a ring. The bracelet is fixed with a lock in the form of a heart with spe­cial clips and sil­i­cone inserts.

Let’s now move on to the dark­er col­or scheme of pink and red. Tree of Hearts is made in arbi­trary motifs, looks great as a neck­lace.

Let’s take a look at two new bracelets: “Explo­sion of Love” is an adjustable bracelet, and “Your Promise Lock”, which offers a new con­cept of bracelet lock using pink cubic zir­co­nia stones.

To com­ple­ment the bracelet, Pan­do­ra has released charms that will suit it per­fect­ly, con­tin­u­ing the love theme. They come in quite dif­fer­ent designs, some come with more ele­gant embell­ish­ments like the Two Hearts or Key to My Heart charm, and some come with brighter and more col­or­ful ones like the Explo­sion of Love. » (Explo­sion of Love).

Our favorite is the Shape of Love heart shaped charm, which has a love­ly faceted design with real­ly rich col­or.
Our sec­ond favorite is a pen­dant with a heart-shaped key and a small gold ele­ment. It might look a bit bulky for a bracelet, but we love the lit­tle ruby ​​accent on the top.

There will also be a ver­sion of the Shape of Love charm for Essence. We are also expect­ing addi­tions to the Pan­do­ra Rose col­lec­tion. The com­bi­na­tion of red zir­co­ni­um with rose gold looks quite impres­sive and real­ly beau­ti­ful. This com­bi­na­tion works beau­ti­ful­ly in the new open ring, which has a bur­gundy cut heart shaped cubic zir­co­nia at one end.

More detailed pho­tos below!

Con­tin­u­ing the motifs of the heart pen­dants, we were pre­sent­ed with the Lock of your Promise clip in a sim­i­lar design, also in pink with cubic zir­co­nia.

Next, con­sid­er charms with gold. Let’s start with the Two Hearts pen­dant in the tra­di­tion­al Pan­do­ra design.

The Key to My Heart is anoth­er beau­ti­ful design that per­fect­ly com­bines two met­als — sil­ver and gold. The pen­dant only ben­e­fits from the ease of exe­cu­tion, and is not bur­dened with dis­tract­ing zir­co­ni­um stones!

The Shape of Love charm was one of the most pop­u­lar charms from the col­lec­tion, offer­ing beau­ti­ful deep col­or and ele­gant design.

This design will also be avail­able for the Pan­do­ra Essence bead, which sym­bol­izes the val­ue of Love.

The “Two Hearts” motif reap­pears as two new dividers. The dividers are 3D, as they them­selves are made in the form of a heart and also have a small zir­co­ni­um heart, which gives the divider an incred­i­bly del­i­cate look.

In the ver­sion of the Rose col­lec­tion, the divider, in our opin­ion, looks even more beau­ti­ful, pink gold favor­ably empha­sizes the depth of the red col­or of zir­co­ni­um.

The final design of the two hearts is an enchant­ed sil­ver charm with crys­tal clear zir­co­nia stones.

Charm “Talk about Love” (Talk about Love) is made in a rather unusu­al design, but at the same time sim­ple and not weigh­ing down.

The I Love You pen­dant is avail­able in both ster­ling sil­ver and rose — we love the con­cept, but it might look best as a pen­dant on a neck­lace or as a stand­alone item on a bracelet. In our opin­ion, next to oth­er charms on the bracelet, it will be lost and will no longer pro­duce the desired effect.

The Explo­sion of Love clip has sil­i­cone pads inside, which means it’s per­fect for braid­ed sil­ver bracelets, leather bracelets, and smooth bracelets. Very nice design, we think this clip is per­fect as a sep­a­ra­tor of com­po­si­tions on your bracelet.

Anoth­er one of our favorites in this col­lec­tion is the Tree of Love pen­dant with a small but very atmos­pher­ic detail — engraved “You and Me” (You and Me)!

The Burst of Love series of charms com­bines cher­ry red and pas­tel pink enam­el hearts.

Burst of Love also fea­tures a com­bi­na­tion of pink and red, but this time in pavé stones for a more dra­mat­ic effect!

The fol­low­ing set of charms are in a rather con­tro­ver­sial style as they devi­ate quite a bit from the tra­di­tion­al Pan­do­ra we are used to see­ing ear­li­er. They are dom­i­nat­ed by lip motifs used for mura­no, pavé charms and open­work beads.
The most inter­est­ing in exe­cu­tion is the pavé charm “Kiss More” (Kiss More) — a pair of pavé encrust­ed lips.

The Glit­ter Kiss charm is an emo­ji-style charm with sparkling enam­el and styl­ized eyes. This is anoth­er charm that is quite dras­ti­cal­ly dif­fer­ent from the exist­ing Pan­do­ra style!

This is a small amount of beads, which, appar­ent­ly, serves as a kind of Pan­do­ra’s exper­i­ment. The rest of the col­lec­tion fol­lows a more famil­iar pat­tern.

Final­ly, we have these two new Chi­nese New Year charms! “Luck and For­tune” has become an instant favorite of many col­lec­tors, which com­bines sil­ver, gold and clas­sic red enam­el.

The Dou­ble Hap­pi­ness charm rep­re­sents a more “new” Pan­do­ra. The pen­dant comes with ceram­ic enam­el and addi­tion­al pink pave stones.

Let’s take a clos­er look at the pre­sent­ed neck­laces, medal­lions with inter­change­able ele­ments and petites to them. Pan­do­ra this time decid­ed to use the heart shape in two new medal­lions, the com­bi­na­tion looks quite advan­ta­geous. Also pleas­ant­ly pleased with the new sil­ver petites.


Next, con­sid­er a few addi­tion­al jew­el­ry. The Tree of Hearts neck­lace is beau­ti­ful — we love that there is no extra glit­ter and there is a lit­tle red heart that gives the piece a crazy accent with just one lit­tle detail. The pink gem­stone pen­dant pairs beau­ti­ful­ly with the rings in this series, which are adorned with cubic zir­co­nia hearts and look tru­ly amaz­ing!

The You & Me ring has a won­der­ful design, on the one hand it looks quite restrained, on the oth­er hand, a red faceted heart-shaped stone gives it notes of ten­der­ness and play­ful­ness! The pink stone ear­rings, which are shaped like a half-open heart in the low­er left cor­ner, did not appear in the cat­a­log and we are won­der­ing if they might be exclu­sive to cer­tain coun­tries or regions.

Gift sets Pandora Valentine’s Day 2018

We have a lot of pho­to gift sets! Unfor­tu­nate­ly, we do not yet know the price of them. 🙂
For the US, the first Ban­gle Kiss Me gift set includes a Glit­ter Kiss charm, a ster­ling sil­ver ban­gle and a pair of ear­rings. Comes with a cos­met­ic bag.

The next set comes with an open ban­gle. You get two open ban­gles, a pair of ear­rings, a Shape of Love charm, and your choice of two ster­ling sil­ver pen­dants.

The first is called “Be Mine” (Be Mine):

And the sec­ond “Soul Mates” (Soul Mates). We like that this pen­dant uses a more mod­ern font, quite sim­ple, but at the same time noth­ing super­flu­ous or dis­tract­ing.

There are also 2 sets of gift charms — Pan­do­ra Club 2018 and Kiss More. This usu­al­ly means that the beads will be sold in exclu­sive pack­ag­ing for a cer­tain peri­od of time.

Gift set “Kiss Me” (Kiss More) offers a clutch as a gift, in the form of red lips:

In Cana­da, two gift sets will be pre­sent­ed. The Love Tree will include two new Love Explo­sion clips and a new Love Tree charm with a sil­ver heart clasp bracelet.
The Lock your Promise set includes heart ear­rings from the new Valen­tine’s Day col­lec­tion, a medal­lion neck­lace and three new peti­tas.
These gift sets look great in the updat­ed brand­ed Pan­do­ra box­es in soft pink.

In Aus­tralia and New Zealand, the gift sets are very sim­i­lar to those released for Cana­da. We are expect­ing two gift sets with bracelets and two with neck­laces.

Pandora Collection for Valentine’s Day 2018: previously unseen charms

The sec­ond part of our review includes four charms from the Pan­do­ra Valen­tine’s 2018 col­lec­tion that we haven’t seen before!

We’ve got a new pen­dant charm adorned with pink minia­ture cubic zir­co­nia crys­tals. This pen­dant was not fea­tured in the offi­cial cat­a­log so we think it will be exclu­sive to Jared stores this sea­son.

Then, we were intro­duced to three pre­vi­ous­ly unknown charms from the Pan­do­ra Dis­ney col­lec­tion. We assume that they will be sold exclu­sive­ly at Dis­ney Parks, but there is no con­crete infor­ma­tion about them yet, so we do not know where and when they will be released.
The first of these is Epcot’s new amuse­ment park charm, which is shaped like a Mick­ey Mouse with flo­ral motifs instead of the usu­al black lugs.

Next, let’s look at the charm­ing two pen­dants. These are the “cute” ver­sions of Mick­ey and Min­nie. They remind us of Dis­ney style tsum tsums, they look very kawaii (cute!).

The new Pan­do­ra Valen­tine’s 2018 col­lec­tion turned out to be insane­ly inter­est­ing. It com­bines both bold new exper­i­ments and proud­ly demon­strates strict clas­sics and fideli­ty to its tra­di­tions.
The com­bi­na­tion of pink and ruby ​​stones looks great, we espe­cial­ly like these com­bi­na­tions in rings. The dark pink col­or gives it a noble look.

Valen­tine’s Day gift sets look inter­est­ing. The choice of pen­dants and bracelets gives you more oppor­tu­ni­ties to diver­si­fy your col­lec­tion with both new prod­ucts and long-loved, but not yet pur­chased.

What do you think of the col­lec­tion? Are you plan­ning to buy some­thing?
