Spring 2018 collection: Pandora. HQ

With one week to go until the release of the new Pan­do­ra Spring 2018 Col­lec­tion, today, as is tra­di­tion, we have beau­ti­ful pho­tos of all the new Charms and Bracelets for you, as well as lots of per­son­al com­men­tary! Due out on March 15th, this release has been large­ly well-received by fans and offers some­thing new after sev­er­al years of exclu­sive­ly flo­ral Pan­do­ra Spring col­lec­tions.

A sep­a­rate Pan­do­ra Shine line will be launched next Thurs­day — we are not yet allowed to write about this col­lec­tion until its offi­cial launch. The Pan­do­ra Dis­ney Spring 2018 col­lec­tion will NOT be released until April 12th, so we can’t pre­view it at this time either.

This post cov­ers an overview of all the charms and bracelets com­ing out next week. Please see the Pan­do­ra Spring 2018 tag for more jew­el­ry.

Pandora Spring 2018 collection bracelets

First of all, pay atten­tion to the new con­cept of the Pan­do­ra bracelet — slid­ing braceletwhich can be unzipped at the ends to add new Charms.

bracelet Smooth Pan­do­ra Sig­na­ture offers a more neu­tral ver­sion of the Lock Your Promise bracelet, which was released for Valen­tine’s Day. It has a remov­able lock and many have spec­u­lat­ed that even­tu­al­ly the remov­able locks will be sold sep­a­rate­ly like Troll­beads.

The last rep­re­sen­ta­tive of charm bracelets, Wild­flower Mead­ow, Has a clasp in the form of a flower; how­ev­er, our favorite detail is the lit­tle dan­gling pur­ple sun. She is so cute! We would have pre­ferred it with­out the lilac crys­tals to keep all the ele­ments togeth­er, but we still real­ly like it.

Charm collection Pandora Spring 2018

As usu­al for Pan­do­ra’s spring col­lec­tion, we have lots of nature-inspired beads, but this time they’re spe­cial in that the key motif is water, not flow­ers! Blue Swirls imi­tates streams of water by con­trast­ing bright sil­ver beads with dif­fer­ent shades of blue enam­el.

AT Blue Rip­ples the same design is observed, but using a light blue stone.

A bead is also offered to your atten­tion Aqua Heart.

Shame on you Enchant­ed Cob­ble­stone offered with clear and blue crys­tals.

Next up we have a set of rain­bow beads! They’re also nature-themed, but oth­er than that, they’re fun in their own right.

Rain­bow of Love has a rather child­ish design, but we’ve always loved the enam­eled mul­ti-col­ored ele­ments, and that’s prob­a­bly why we’re always drawn to it! A few peo­ple men­tioned that this bead would also make a great pride sym­bol, and we agree!

We think that enam­el does not look so good on an open­work design heart beads — the yel­low col­or is too bright, but to each his own!

The rain­bow effect is also observed in the inlays of the next two beads — the sep­a­ra­tor and the pro­tec­tive chain Arcs of Love. We like the sec­ond design, as the small cloud dec­o­ra­tion in the mid­dle of the chain makes it very cute, although it is dif­fi­cult to present this dec­o­ra­tion on any­thing oth­er than a bracelet in an exclu­sive­ly rain­bow theme!

And final­ly, we have our favorite “rain­bow” dec­o­ra­tion — a bead Iri­des­cent Rain­bow Glass from Mura­no glass. Rain­bows and clouds are depict­ed under bright iri­des­cent blue glass. This design is so fun and upbeat that we’ve ded­i­cat­ed it to a themed bracelet of its own.

Below you can see all the rain­bow charms. The Hearts enam­el bead looks much bet­ter in per­son than we expect­ed.

Next, we offer to pay atten­tion to the line of more tra­di­tion­al Pan­do­ra Spring beads, which com­bine flo­ral and fairy-tale motifs in a very beau­ti­ful col­lec­tion Enchant­ed Nature. Our absolute favorite is again the Mura­no glass charm, fea­tur­ing del­i­cate flow­ers and two small cop­per bees in soft pas­tel col­ors. If these beads will look as beau­ti­ful in per­son as in the pho­to, then they can def­i­nite­ly become one of the favorites.

The glass does­n’t look that bright in the real pho­tos, but the beau­ti­ful fine detail­ing is def­i­nite­ly there:

Sparkling Snail — a beau­ti­ful bead that com­bines the more mod­ern style of Pan­do­ra with all the whim­sy of old beads.

Here’s a sneak peek of the Snail beads in this great shot:

This lit­tle bead Cute Mouse we also like it in the form of a mouse. Although it does­n’t look as detailed as most of Pan­do­ra’s clas­sic ani­mal charms, it still looks very cute and reminds us of an edi­ble sug­ar can­dy mouse. And the charm of this mouse is that it has a small mov­able tail!

Here are two real pho­tos — luck­i­ly, this bead looks just as cute in real life as it does in the pro­duc­tion pho­tos.

We absolute­ly love the intri­cate curls on the bead Enchant­ed Tea Cup, And you can see a small bird on the rim of the cup. The brack­et they chose is thank­ful­ly not encrust­ed with crys­tals!

To com­bine with the pre­vi­ous one, Pan­do­ra made a bead Tea Pot, on the spout of the teapot, which also has a small bird. This is a beau­ti­ful­ly detailed bead and it looks great in the pro­duc­tion images as well.

We love the look of both of these beads — the tiny birds are very clear­ly vis­i­ble.

Nice to see a sim­ple sil­ver design in the Spring Bird House. Of course, we still wished that the inscrip­tion “Sweet Home” (Eng­lish — “Native home”) was not on the back, as we think that it adds unnec­es­sary sen­ti­ments to the bead, but in gen­er­al it looks quite cute.

Glo­ri­ous Blooms look quite trop­i­cal due to their col­or­ing and, like the water-themed beads described above, are more suit­able for a sum­mer col­lec­tion.

Pan­do­ra has begun releas­ing sea­son­al ver­sions of its pop­u­lar but­ton charms Radi­ant Hearts, which this time reflect the spring ver­sion of the design. This one has sil­ver flow­ers around the edge, as well as a very cute lady­bug and drag­on­fly, as if crawl­ing on the crys­tal.

open­work Promise of Spring you can read the words “Love Life” (Eng­lish — “Love life”), it is out­lined against the back­ground of flow­ers and drag­on­flies.

Dreamy Drag­on­fly looks absolute­ly abstract from one side, but if you turn this bead, you will see a beau­ti­ful drag­on­fly! We love the com­bi­na­tion of mod­ern and roman­tic in this bead.

A sep­a­ra­tor is also offered to your atten­tion Wild­flower Mead­ow.

safe­ty chain Wild­flower Mead­ow also belongs to the col­lec­tion of jew­el­ry with flo­ral designs, although we liked the oth­er secu­ri­ty chain with detailed flo­ral ele­ments bet­ter.

Chan­de­lier Drops has an ele­gant design, but it is dif­fi­cult for us to imag­ine how it will look on a bracelet in real life — the small details will look strange and uncom­fort­able, as soon as you want to add oth­er charms and jew­el­ry next to it. This bead can look good as a sep­a­rate dec­o­ra­tion on a leather bracelet.

Despite all the beau­ty and dra­ma, you should think about how prac­ti­cal it will be Enchant­ed Tas­sel in every­day wear! It is inter­est­ing to see how this dec­o­ra­tion will be placed on dis­play bracelets in Pan­do­ra stores.

So, the Pan­do­ra store in the city of Ston­estown styled it like this:

Enchant­ed Heart Tas­sel very rem­i­nis­cent of the charm pop­u­lar in 2014 Chi­nese Lantern in red enam­el, and would make a great addi­tion to this charm on an Asian themed bracelet!

Our favorite from the Enchant­ed col­lec­tion is with­out a doubt the safe­ty chain. It has such a sub­tle, com­plex design, while look­ing more reli­able than the above chain Wild­flower Mead­ow.

You can see this dec­o­ra­tion in action togeth­er with the bead Enchant­ed Heart Tas­sel.

This clip reminds us of those beau­ti­ful­ly dec­o­rat­ed gin­ger­bread hearts in the shape of a heart that you can buy at fairs in Ger­many! This bead would look great on a themed bracelet as a Hansel and Gre­tel fairy tale dec­o­ra­tion.

And now we move on to beads of love and fam­i­ly themes, which depart from the main nat­ur­al motif of this spring col­lec­tion. chain Arcs of Love offers a more gener­ic ver­sion of the rain­bow design we’ve seen before — no cloud on the chain.

This safe­ty chain is shown here with two of Bel­la Bot’s new beads Rose:

Per­fect Palswith soft moth­er of pearl enam­el and rab­bit / bun­ny sil­hou­ette, can be per­fect­ly com­bined with beads for Moth­er’s Day 2018.

Charm Princess not much to our taste, as her facial fea­tures seem quite strange!

Play­ful Wink in emo­ji style looks the same on both sides, judg­ing by the pro­duc­tion pho­tos.

clips Arcs of Love will be sold with pink and clear crys­tals.

enam­el beads Enchant­ment sold in two col­ors — blue and pink. The first goes well with the above “sea” jew­el­ry, and the sec­ond — with soft­er, fam­i­ly charms.

The pink ver­sion is shown in this beau­ti­ful shot:

pen­dant Rib­bon Heart Glass also avail­able in pink and blue, offer­ing glass droplets with a twist­ed rib­bon pat­tern.

Blue pen­dants pair beau­ti­ful­ly with the Blue Swirls Charm in this styl­ized bracelet:

They remind us of glass droplets, which Pan­do­ra released briefly in 2013 if any­one still remem­bers it — won­der if they can last longer!

Charm Pearly Dreams did not appear in the North Amer­i­can cat­a­log we had a chance to look at.

In con­clu­sion, we bring to your atten­tion Beau­ti­ful Bot, Per­haps the most talked about charm of this col­lec­tion at the moment! She has mov­able arms and legs, and she attach­es to your bracelet with the help of a head. This is a rather unprece­dent­ed design from Pan­do­raand we can’t wait to see how cus­tomers will com­bine it.

In this live image, you can see both the sil­ver and pink ver­sions of the Bel­la Bot, along with a cute box for the Asian region! We don’t know if this pack will be avail­able in oth­er regions.
