Today’s post offers another update on the Pandora Autumn 2015 collection, with a fuller preview of the upcoming collection! This post has clearer stock images, plus some unseen pieces. 🙂 The collection is entitled Magnificent Kingdom, and features some natural forest motifs and pretty shades of moss green and blush pink. It is due out on the 27th of August.
I’ve dubbed this post a ‘fuller’ preview as, while I’m pretty sure that these are almost all of the new Autumn 2015 pieces, I’m still not 100%. 😉 I’ve listed North American pricing where I have it – I am missing some prices for some of the new stock images, however, so if I haven’t listed it then I probably don’t have that info yet! For some live shots of the new pieces, please see my preview here!
Bracelets
Kicking off the preview, we have a couple of new bracelets for the autumn season! First up is this delicate pavé offering, featuring some cut-out heart detailing. It’s priced at $50 USD.
Next up, we have the new pavé clasp charm bracelet – I’m tentatively listing this piece as an Autumn 2015 piece as I’ve seen it down as both for Autumn and Winter 2015 and I’m a little confused as to which it is globally. In North America, however, it definitely will be available with the Winter 2015 collection as part of a gift set with the Layers of Lace clip (pictured below). It won’t be available individually until January 2016, unfortunately. 🙁
Charms
First up, we have a selection of charms inspired by the natural world – most of the charms we haven’t seen before are listed here. Included are a number of new silver animal portrait charms, including a chick, cow, giraffe, panda, horse and pig! Pandora have suggested that these are cake pop inspired, which is a very cute idea even if I’m not sure how obvious that is from the charms alone haha.
Also notable is the rather beautiful Layers of Lace clip, a new plain silver offering. I’ve included it here because, although the name suggests lace, I find it also rather reminiscent of natural motifs such as dewy cobwebs, or delicate icicles. In North America, it is also part of the pavé clasp bracelet gift set, so it won’t be available on its own until January 2016.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Majestic Swan – $70 USD / $80 CAD
Silver animals (chick, cow, giraffe, panda, horse, pig) – $30 USD / $35 CAD
Red Robin – $55 USD / $60 CAD
Forest Fairy – $35 USD / $40 CAD
Dragonfly Meadow – $60 USD / $65 CAD
Feathers are another big theme for Autumn 2015, and this set offers an elegant take on that motif. As I’ve said before, I’m especially drawn to the simplicity and classic style of the Feathered clip, while the blush pink enamel at the heart of the Angel Wings pendant is also rather a nice touch.
However, I’ve been told that the Feathered clip has been pushed back to the Pandora Valentine’s 2016 collection, for North America at least. 🙁 I’m not sure if this applies to all markets, so I’ve included it here just for reference.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Majestic Feathers openwork – $60 USD / $65 CAD
Majestic Feather pendant – $45 USD / $50 CAD
Angelic Feathers – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Angel Wings – $60 USD / $65 CAD
Feathered clip – $35 USD / $40 CAD
Next up, we have a selection of colourful decorative pieces! Of these, I particularly love the blush pink and moss green shades – they match perfectly with some of the nature charms, such as the Forest Fairy and the Majestic Swan. It’s worth noting that the Fascinating charms are made from CZ and not from murano glass – something a little new from Pandora!
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Radiant Splendour – $80 USD / $90 CAD
Fascinating Blush & Olive – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Eternity spacers (pink, green, blue, purple) – $40 USD / $45 CAD
Radiant Hearts (pink, purple) – $80 USD / $90 CAD
Geometric Facets (blue, purple) – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Forever PANDORA – $50 USD / $55 CAD
As usual, there is only a little dash of gold for collectors of Pandora’s 14kt range – the dangles are technically two-tone but as they have a significant amount of gold I’ve included them! The two solid 14kt gold charms both contain cubic zirconia and are new versions of existing silver designs.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Love & Appreciation (gold) – $375 USD / $415 CAD
Lace Botanique – $150 USD / $165 CAD
Floral Brilliance – $400 USD / $440 CAD
Magnificent Heart – $120 USD / $135 CAD
Of this next selection, the Locked Hearts stands out by a mile for me, with its intricate two-tone design. It’s just lovely, and a worthy successor to last year’s Vintage Heart. ^^ The rest of these I find a little uninspired, but it’s understandable as to why Pandora includes them – they are sure to sell well as birthday gifts etc.
It’s great to see another safety chain design, too, even its family-theme makes it a little less versatile (the wording on it says ‘family forever’). I’m tempted to get it anyway, as I am desperate for more safety chain designs and I love the style of the script, even if I don’t really tend to go in for the family-themed charms.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Heart of Love clip – $70 USD / $80 CAD
Majestic Heart – $90 USD / $100 CAD
Hearts Tiara – $45 USD / $50 CAD
Locked Hearts – $90 USD / $100 CAD
Friendship Heart – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Daughter’s Love – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Birthday Wishes – $50 USD / $55 CAD
You are so Loved – $35 USD / $40 CAD
Family Ties safety chain – $40 USD / $45 CAD
Replacing the existing Birthday Bloom series, the Signature Hearts are a new collection of birthstone heart charms, all priced at $55 USD or $60 CAD. They feature a mix of genuine and synthetic stones, ranging from garnet to synthetic ruby. They definitely have a more contemporary, fashionable look than the original Birthday Blooms, which are more classic in style.
Other Jewellery
There are a couple of new rings that we haven’t seen here before – the two new gorgeous Peacock designs. The Peacock Feathers ring is 14kt gold with blue treated topaz stones, so it’s much like the existing Ocean Treasures charm.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Lace Botanique – $400 USD / $440 CAD
Hearts of Pandora (gold) – $375 USD / $415 CAD
Forever Pandora – $135 USD / $150 CAD
Hearts of Pandora (silver) – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Hearts Tiara – $55 USD / $60 CAD
Classic & Timeless Elegance – $85 USD / $95 CAD
Majestic Feathers – $90 USD / $100 CAD
Crystalised Floral Fancy – $125 USD / $140 CAD
Shimmering Leaves – $150 USD / $165 CAD
Petite Luminous Leaves – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Luminous Leaves – $85 USD / $95 CAD
There are two new necklace chains coming out in silver and gold (there’s also a Pandora Rose version due out for Autumn!). The silver version is $25 USD ($30 CAD), while the gold version is $300 ($330 CAD).
The earring selection for Autumn 2015 includes some feather motifs and more classic designs:
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Lace Botanique – $360 USD / $400 CAD

My Comment
Again, this is not my favourite collection Pandora have ever produced, but I already have spots planned out for both the Dragonfly Meadow and the Forest Fairy charms. 😉 The Majestic Swan is also a rather nice example of how to get pavé detailing right, although I’m not sure I have a space for it in my collection right now. I’m also pleased to see a return to producing some classic silver clip designs – both the Feathered and the Layers of Lace clips are beautiful in their simplicity.
The new animal portrait charms are sweet (I think my favourite is the Giraffe!), but much more cartoon-like in style – they lack some of the sophistication of the classic Pandora silvers that they are replacing, perhaps.
What do you think of these new pieces? Are any going on your wish list?
