PANDORA WINTER 2017 / PANDORA WINTER 2017

Today’s post brings a long awaited preview of Pandora Winter 2017 with lots of holiday cheers, icy sparkles and cosmic blues.

This col­lec­tion sticks firm­ly to the brand’s tried and test­ed for­mu­la, offer­ing more neu­tral win­ter blues, and for those who like to be bright on New Year’s Eve, Pan­do­ra has pre­pared cute enam­el charms in hon­or of the fes­tive sea­son.

The col­lec­tion will be released on Novem­ber 2.

As usu­al, Pan­do­ra will be releas­ing a lim­it­ed edi­tion ban­gle with the Win­ter 2017 col­lec­tion — this year’s ban­gle is called the Heart of Win­ter and also fea­tures a heart/snowflake clasp design based on last year’s pen­dant.

Mov­ing on to the charms, let’s start with one of our favorite bead sets from the AW17 col­lec­tion — frosty design charms! The ones we love most about this selec­tion are the mes­mer­iz­ing sky blue mura­no Ice Drops Glass, fol­lowed by the more dra­mat­ic mid­night blue Win­try Delight that we’ve fall­en in love with since the first live shots came out. 😀

In addi­tion to them, the col­lec­tion fea­tures sky-themed charms in deep blue col­ors. Their gen­er­al tone is very sim­i­lar, but they are less win­ter-ori­ent­ed. None of them are the must-haves of the sea­son in our opin­ion, but the Celes­tial Mosa­ic charm is the “king of moth­er-of-pearl” and we can only imag­ine how good its glow­ing effect is live.

In gen­er­al, the main dec­o­ra­tive charms are made in the most pop­u­lar col­ors of the Win­ter 2017 sea­son. The Nature’s Radi­ance charm (The radi­ance of nature) is pre­sent­ed in 2 shades: in dark blue and emer­ald pink, and Radi­ant Hearts (Shin­ing Hearts) — in emer­ald green. The Col­or Fres­co charm, which is made of 14k gold, has an amaz­ing­ly car­ni­val feel!

Final­ly, we have the reg­u­lar hol­i­day beads! These are the win­ter beads that we are look­ing for­ward to, and we think that this year they turned out just fine, per­fect­ly cap­tur­ing the spir­it of the New Year hol­i­days. Mura­no Red Twin­kle Glass has a gold­en sheen com­ing through, giv­ing it a tru­ly lux­u­ri­ous look. At the same time, the Christ­mas Night and Snowy Won­der­land charms offer us some­thing more com­plex in their exe­cu­tion. If you’re a fan of bright fes­tive red charms, which are usu­al­ly char­ac­ter­ized by more fes­tive Christ­mas motifs, then Pan­do­ra has­n’t for­got­ten about you either. The Pan­do­ra Win­ter 2017 col­lec­tion fea­tures a vari­ety of charms and pen­dants in this style and col­or palette. Our favorite of these is def­i­nite­ly the adorable Christ­mas polar bear, with his lit­tle sign that says “San­ta stops here.” What a cute!

While this col­lec­tion is very sim­i­lar in theme and aes­thet­ic to pre­vi­ous col­lec­tions, there are, as usu­al, some indi­vid­ual pieces that we absolute­ly love! 3 Our favorite hol­i­day charms are Polar Bear, Christ­mas Eve and Fes­tive Wreath. :D

What do you think of this lat­est col­lec­tion? What asso­ci­a­tions does it con­jure up in your mind?
