    I am so happy to see another two tone charm has been added to the Pandora 20th Anniversary collection! I am excited to add this charm into my collection, as I do not have the original. I do have a few charms that are similar to the Swirl charm however, including one of my first Pandora charms, the Rose Leaf style 790136. I purchased two of these charms and I can see myself wanting to pair them with the Limited Edition Swirl Charm!

    Celebrate #Pandora20 with me:

    Each month, I celebrate Pandora’s 20th anniversary by sharing a special charm in my personal Pandora collection. For this month, I am telling the story behind two charms: the Witch and the Hocus Pocus Dangle Charm. I have them on my Halloween themed Pandora Bracelet:

    Each charm on my Halloween themed bracelet represents a special childhood memory or favourite halloween tradition or activity. The main colours on this bracelet are oxidized silver, silver, orange and black. It has a mixture of vintage Pandora charms and new charms.

    My Story behind the Witch and Hocus Pocus Charms:

    Both the Witch and Hocus Pocus dangle charm represent my best friend, Tiara and our favourite Halloween movies: Hocus Pocus and Halloween Town. Each year, we cannot wait to enjoy some delicious Pumpkin Chai lattes and spending an afternoon watching movies together.

    I paired these two charms together, since the stories behind them are the same. I also think they look so cute together!

    I have created a Youtube video to more personally tell you the story behind these two charms! You can watch it HERE or down below:

    The Details…

    The Witch Charm

    The Witch charm is a sterling silver charm that features a witch in flight, on her broomstick. She has a grinning smile, long pointy nose and adorable witch’s hat. She is now retired and her style number is 790544.

    The Hocus Pocus Dangle Charm

    The Hocus Pocus Dangle Charm was available in the US. It is a sterling silver dangle charm and has cubic zirconia accents, with orange and black enamel detailing. It features a witch’s hat, bats and the inscription: Hocus Pocus. The style number is ENG792017CZ_10.

    Here are photos of other charms on my
    Pandora Halloween themed bracelet:

    Skeleton Girl Charm is so cute! I have her as the centrepiece on this year’s design. She has heart-shaped eyes and an upside down heart, as her nose. I also love how her lower body dangles, like she is dancing! She came out in this year’s Autumn Collection.

    I am a huge fan of the Nightmare Before Christmas and couldn’t resist adding the new Disney Nightmare Before Christmas Double Dangle Charm. He goes perfectly with my Disney Parks Exclusive Jack and Sally charm.

    I also have the new Disney Parks Exclusive charm, Halloween Mickey charm. My husband and I love visiting Disneyland during Halloween time! We love taking a photo in-front of the giant pumpkin Mickey. This was a must-have for me!

    And that concludes this blog post! I would like to thank Pandora for the opportunity to be a part of their 20th Anniversary celebration! I am so excited to share exclusive Pandora 20 content and moments with you, over the next 2 months! Pandora will be providing me with 3 of the 12 anniversary charms, in this celebration.

    Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a wonderful day.

    The 2020 Limited Edition Love Dice

    It’s August 20th! Today we celebrate the relaunch of the Love Dice! The original style number of this vintage charm was 790200 and it was called the I Love You Charm. The updated version is also two tone. It is made in sterling silver with a 14 ct. gold heart. The Pandora 20 hallmark is displayed on the centre of the 14 ct. gold heart.

    The Limited Edition Love Dice Charm looks similar to the original design of the I Love You charm. I love collecting two tone charms and I have missed seeing new two tone charms release in Pandora’s recent collections. It is wonderful to see a second two tone charm in the Pandora 20 Anniversary charm collection!

    For me, the Love Dice message is a wonderful reminder to take a chance on love, after all…that is how I met my husband! It also has a lovely nod to my husband and I’s love of board games.

    Celebrate #Pandora20 with me:

    Each month, I celebrate Pandora’s 20th anniversary by sharing a special charm in my personal Pandora collection. For this month, I am telling the story behind my Princess and the Pea Charm. I have it on my “Life is a Fairytale (with you)” themed Pandora Bracelet:

    “My Life is a Fairytale (with you)” bracelet is inspired by my husband and I. I think of it as an extension to my “Something Blue” wedding themed Pandora Bracelet. Each charm on this bracelet represents our love story and my love of fairytales. The colours on it are pink, gold and white. These were our wedding day colours!

    In the centre of the bracelet, I have the Prince Character Charm and the Princess Character Charm on opposite sides of the Pink Princess Heart Charm (retired).

    My Princess and the Pea charm can be found on the right section of the bracelet, beside the Mr. and Mrs Wedding Couple charm (retired) and a White Mystic Gold Pandora Murano glass charm.

    My Story behind the Princess and the Pea Pandora Charm:

    The Princess and the Pea charm represents my love of reading fairytales and fantasy books. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved to read fantasy and fairytale books. As a child, I would stay up late reading a good book and enjoying a delicious cup of tea!

    Five Fantasy books I loved as a teenager were:

    1. Summers at Castle Auborn by Sharon Shinn (still my favourite book)
    2. The Never-Ending Story by Michael Ende
    3. The Chronicles of Faerie series by O.R Melling
    4. The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R Tolkien

    What were some of your favourite books, as a child or teenager?

    I have created a Youtube video to more personally tell you the story behind the Princess and the Pea Charm, as well as a closer look at my “Life is a Fairytale (with you) bracelet! You can watch it HERE or down below:

    The Details…

    The Princess and the Pea Charm

    The Princess and the Pea charm is a two tone charm in the shape of a royal bed with mattresses piled high! It also has rounded bed legs and a royal canopy. Atop the royal canopy rests a 14 ct. gold crown, which represents the Princess. There are also two 14 ct. gold “peas” that are hidden between the layers of mattresses, one on each side of the charm.

    On the bottom of the charm, the hallmarks 925 and ALE are found:

    This threaded charm is part of the Hans Christian Andersen Pandora collection. This three piece collection released in celebration of Andersen’s 200th Anniversary. Along with the Princess and the Pea charm, it also had the Ugly Duckling and the Top Hat.

    And that concludes this blog post! I would like to thank Pandora for the opportunity to be a part of their 20th Anniversary celebration! I am so excited to share exclusive Pandora 20 content and moments with you, over the next 4 months! Pandora will be providing me with 3 of the 12 anniversary charms, in this celebration.

    Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care, stay healthy and spread love, especially during this time. <3

    Pandora Mother’s Day Collection 2020 | Overview & Inspiration

    On April 16th, 2020, Pandora released their Mother’s Day Collection 2020 in Canada and the USA. In today’s blog post, I am going to share the inspiration behind the collection, as well as a look at the new jewellery pieces available!

    I hope this blog post adds some fun into your day and that you and your loved ones are safe, healthy and doing well. <3

    Photos courtesy of Pandora.

    Our biggest support and greatest inspiration…at Pandora we believe mothers should be shown every day that our love for them is forever.

    – Pandora

    The Mother’s Day 2020 collection is inspired by two symbols: the infinity symbol and the love knot symbol. The infinity symbol represents eternal love, while the love knot represents connection. What better choices to signify the everlasting bond of love between a mother and child?

    Pandora’s VP Creative Directors Francesco Terzo and A. Filippo Ficarelli explored the idea of an infinite and mutual love, begun from the time a child is born. “We thought about the fact that once you become a mother, you are one forever more and so the idea of the infinity symbol linked to a mother was a beautiful sentiment for us.”

    – Pandora

    These two symbols were used together to create a timeless, yet modern look to the collection.

    The Mother’s Day collection release is separated into the following categories: Pandora People Collection, Pandora Timeless Collection and Pandora Colours Collection. Here they are below:

    Pandora People Collection

    This collection showcases family themed charms to add to your Pandora Moments bracelet! There is also a new Pandora Moments Charm Bracelet, as well! Here it is:

    The new Pandora Moments bracelet is called, Family Tree Heart Clasp Snake Chain Bracelet. I have added it to my Wishlist. I love the clasp detail of the tree and how it has “family” engraved on the back of the heart.

    Moving along to the Pandora Moments charms:

    I love that both the charms above and below are two-tone with Pandora Rose and Sterling Silver.

    Love You Mum Heart Charm

    This Sterling Silver, Love You Mum Infinity Heart Charm is one of my favourite choices to surprise your mom with. I love that it is an openwork design and that it incorporates the infinity symbol as a knotted design! It is a perfect example of Pandora’s inspiration for this collection.

    Pandora also brings us another sterling silver openwork heart, but exquisitely detailed with floral accents:

    Moving along, we have some beautiful new dangles:

    This dangle charm is magical, girly and fun! I love the message and I totally see my friend, Nichol (MyPrettyCharmingLife) absolutely loving this!

    The next two dangle charms (below) featuring a perfect touch of pink enamel and cubic zirconia accents:

    We also have a new “Birthday” themed charm. I love that the back reads: “Make a wish” with a little candle detail. So cute!

    This dangle is a beautiful choice to give any new or expecting Mother:

    Pandora also added this adorable Married Couple dangle charm:

    It is just too cute! I love how the couple is caught up in all the wedding day bliss.

    Pandora also added two more sterling silver charms to their family collection: Boy Teenager and Girl Teenager! They have such fun details to them.

    We also have an updated graduation charms:

    The following charm photos were not sent in the press release, but they are also part of the Mother’s Day Collection 2020, as well:

    The last charm pictured is the Openwork Family Tree charm. It is one of my favourite charms from this collection! It is so detailed and beautiful. It is also available in a gift set: Pandora Moments Family Tree Bracelet Gift Set.

    Pandora Timeless Collection

    Pandora added some classic and elegant new pieces to their Pandora Timeless Collection. There are beautiful new rings, bracelets and necklaces! And a perfect gift set for Mother’s Day!

    I especially love their new Pandora Rose rings! They offer both statement and stackable options:

    The Geometric Shapes Open Ring and Princess Wishbone Ring are two of my top choices!

    The Wrapped Open Infinity Ring is such a statement piece (above, far right)!

    Up next are the new Pandora Earrings:

    The Sparkling Infinity Stud Earrings come in both Sterling Silver and Pandora Rose. We also have a new hoop earring: the Infinity Knot.

    Pandora also has two new necklaces in the Mother’s Day Collection:

    The Sparkling Infinity Collier Necklace is available in a gift set, with the Infinity earrings to match!

    I LOVE the Chunky Infinity Knot Chain Necklace. I have officially added it to my Pandora Wishlist and I hope my husband (AKA Snowman) will surprise me with it for an anniversary, holiday or birthday surprise!

    And if Snowman is feeling extra generous, I love the Chunky Infinity Knot Chain Bracelet to pair with it:

    There is also a similar style, available in a bangle bracelet:

    Speaking of bangles, there is also a new Pandora Rose Open Bangle:

    There are also two Moments Charms in the Pandora Timeless Collection:

    Pandora Colours Collection

    The Pandora Colours release features two jewellery pieces: the Pink & Clear Sparkle Slider Bracelet and the stunning Pink & Clear Sparkle Charm.

    And that concludes the Pandora Mother’s Day Collection overview. What are your favourite pieces from this collection?

    The Inspiration Behind Pandora Garden | the Spring 2020 Collection

    Today is the day!!! The Pandora Garden | Spring 2020 collection officially released and I could not be more excited. My wallet is in SO much trouble, as my Pandora wish list has grown with this new collection!

    Over the next few days, I will be sharing blog posts, devoted to this new collection. A special thank you to, Pandora for providing photos and insight information, into this new collection.

    In today’s blog post, I will be sharing the inspiration behind, Pandora Garden 2020. So, if you are ready…make sure to grab a cup of tea and let’s get started!

    https://youtu.be/RmOQYUblT9Y

    Spring brings with it new beginnings and a feeling of
    positivity as nature bursts to life once more.

    – Pandora

    Welcome to Pandora Garden; the new 2020 collection from Pandora! The daisy is the main inspiration for this release and it makes a wonderful comeback in Pandora Rose.

    Here is why Pandora chose the daisy:

    Not only beautiful, the daisy is strong, planting its seed wherever it lands to thrive anywhere and everywhere. As a new expression of freedom and fortitude – to be whoever and whatever you want and to bloom in the face of adversity – the traditional flower is rendered wild and free, as a reminder that beauty and strength go hand in hand.

    The daisies in Pandora Rose are decorated with cubic zirconia and pink & white enamel accents. They are vibrant, enchanting and truly blossoming in each photo I’ve seen! As you know, I am a huge fan of Pandora Rose and my favourite colour is pink…so, this is a match made in floral heaven, for me!

    The pretty pink daisy makes a cool comeback in Pandora Rose, our 14k gold-plated unique metal blend. An intrinsic part of our floral offerings, the commonplace but never ordinary bloom is reimagined as a dainty flower with a powerful twist.

    My first Pandora bracelet was inspired by a fairy garden. I have classic daisy themed charms, from past Pandora collections, on it. I am looking forward to adding these new daisy designs onto my bracelet, or creating a continuation of that theme on a bangle or my O Pendant.

    I also am working on a new butterfly garden theme, that is inspired by my dear friends, @ACharmedDreamer, @DailyCharmAddict and @MyPandoraCharmedLife. This bracelet already has a Pandora Rose theme and many of these new spring charms will work beautifully with it too!

    Do you have a bracelet/necklace theme or design idea(s) for some of the new daisy themed pieces?

    Looking at the Pandora Garden collection, it looks like I walked into a flower shop. I can handpick a perfect “bouquet” of jewellery!

    Can’t you just smell that fresh spring air, the freshly cut flowers…and hear the birds sing, when looking at these photos? This collection is spring in full bloom! It makes me want to put on my favourite spring dress, twirl around and start planning some of my favourite spring activities.

    What are some of your favourite spring activities or hobbies, that you look forward to? I always love to see hobby themed charms from Pandora!!!

    The Pandora Garden collection also features additional rings, bracelets, charms, earrings and pendants. These are available in Pandora Rose, Pandora Shine and sterling silver. Many of these jewellery pieces provide beautiful options to stack together and/or combine, to suit your individual style.

    Flower Power

    Let your creativity blossom with the daisy re-imagined in pink tones and Pandora Rose. Add floral charms to your Pandora O Pendant or create an impactful look with rows of daisy charms stacked on your bracelet. You can also keep it low key with a couple flower rings on your fingers.

    Over the next few days, I will be sharing these pieces with you, in featured blog posts.

    BUT…for a little overview, here are some other inspirations that carry out the Pandora Garden theme:

    Completing the garden theme are symbols of renewal and community, like the dragonfly and the bee…

    And this concludes a look into the inspiration behind Pandora’s Spring 2020 collection. What do you think of the inspiration for this collection? Please let me know down below!

    My Pandora Collection Overview | Jewellery Storage + Ohm Beads Play Tray

    A new video is up!

    Playing a bit of catch up with some recent YouTube videos I uploaded on my channel recently…or should I say, last year?! I cannot believe we are already into 2020!!!

    In this video, I share how I store my Pandora Jewellery, as well as my Ohm Beads, Ogerbeads, Trollbeads and Alex and Ani pieces. I also share an overview of my entire collection, with you! This has been requested by so many of you, but I’m always hesitant about filming this type of video. I have a huge collection and I know I’m very blessed to have such special and meaningful pieces. Each one tells a story or reflects a special loved one or memory. I really love that about charm bracelets!!!

    Anyway! Here is where you can watch the video:

    Now, I’ll share some information on where you can find these jewellery storage options, should you be curious!

    The first is the jewellery box I picked up in November by Tuscan Designs. I found it at Homesense/Winners for $149. Since this is a store that only has limited stock, there is a very similar option on Wayfair by a brand called, Morelle Company. The style is called, Sophia Leather Jewellery Keepsake Box. This may be the only difference as my jewellery box is a faux leather.

    Pink Jewellery Box
    It is so gigantic!

    Inside this jewellery box, I added a ring tray that I found on Amazon. In the video, I placed it in the middle layer, but I have since moved it to the top layer, below the glass section. You can shop it HERE.

    You can see the ring tray hiding behind my hand and bracelet!

    The last item is my grey, Less Play Ohm Play Tray! If the grey isn’t your thing, they have a quite a few colour options to choose from. I hope that one day soon, Ohm Beads will also come out with a light pink colour too (they currently have a hot pink one though)! If you would like to order the tray (and haven’t placed an Ohm Beads Order before), feel free to use my referral link to save 11% off your order, HERE.

    Ohm Beads also has an anti-tarnish tray bag that is sold separately.
