*A full and updated preview of this collection, plus accompanying jewellery, is now available here* Today’s post looks forward again to the Pandora Winter 2015 collection, with some beautiful campaign images, live shots and updated stock photos. The collection, entitled Crystalised Embellishments, will be available from the 29th of October and offers Pandora’s typical mix of icy blues and warm Christmas reds.
These pictures are taken from the Pandora launch guide for AW15, and there remain stock images missing from this set. The stock images pictured here are kindly provided courtesy of Sheila Holmes at A Few Charms, which is a wonderful Pandora blog about the unique and often inspirational meanings behind her charms and jewellery. You can also follow her on Facebook or Instagram for more Pandora inspiration and sneak peeks! 🙂
Pandora Winter 2015 Charms
A chief proportion of the upcoming charms are decorative, with some icy blues and a lot of sparkle for the winter season.
Of these, I like the deep pink Geometric Facets, which is made out of synthetic sapphire, although I can understand the disappointment of those who wanted a nice cherry red Facet for Christmas. The opalescent look of the Eternity spacer on the right is also rather pretty, and I’d like to see that one in person!
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Geometric Facets – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Braided clip – $35 USD / $40 CAD
Eternity spacers – $40 USD / $45 CAD
Blue Fascinating Iridescence – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Radiant Hearts – $80 USD / $90 CAD
Inner Radiance – $400 USD / $440 CAD
Ice Crystal – $75 USD / $85 CAD
Crystalised Snowflake pendant – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Crystalised Snowflakes – $70 USD / $80 CAD
Starshine spacer – $40 USD / $45 CAD
You can see a few of the new blue Winter 2015 pieces in this live shot from Grazia magazine, including the new Radiant Hearts and the ice blue Geometric Facets. The December Signature Hearts charm from the Autumn 2015 also makes an apperance! In addition to the charms pictured in the stock images above, you can see a new pavé snowflake disc charm on the central bangle.
My favourites from this collection, however, are the white enamel and ribbon motifs. The bow motif and snowy hearts are perfect for the winter season, but also offer something that’s a little more feminine and wearable all year round. I absolutely love the new Dainty Bow safety chain design, and it’s so nice to see new chain designs after a drought of two years or so!
The Abundance of Love charm will be a concept-store exclusive in North America, while the Sweet Sentiments will be a shop-in-shop exclusive; they will be available as usual in other regions.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Tumbling Hearts – $400 USD / $440 CAD
Abundance of Love – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Abundance of Love spacer – $35 USD / $40 CAD
Dainty Bow clip – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Shimmering Sentiments – $60 USD / $65 CAD
Dainty Bow safety chain – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Sweet Sentiments – $50 USD / $55 CAD
Heart & Bow – $80 USD / $90 CAD
In this next picture, you can also make out a new limited edition bangle for the holiday season (top right of the picture)! It features a special Dainty Bow clasp and will be available a little later from the 27th of November. I am not looking to own any more bangles (and I managed to avoid getting last year’s LE holiday bangle, despite being sorely tempted) but this one is rather lovely!
As usual, there will be a selection of festive charms for the holiday season, featuring some fun Christmas charms detailed in bright red enamel, such as the adorable Christmas Puppy and Red-Nosed Reindeer, but also a couple of more thoughtful two-tone pieces.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Inspiration Within – $35 USD / $40 CAD
Family Heritage – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Eternity spacer – $40 USD / $45 CAD
Divine Angel – $65 USD / $75 CAD
All Wrapped Up (gold) – $375 USD / $415 CAD
Sparkling Surprise – $75 USD / $85 CAD
All Wrapped Up (silver) – $60 USD / $65 CAD
Heart of the Family – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Christmas Puppy – $45 USD / $50 CAD
Twinkling Christmas Tree – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Christmas Holly murano – $45 USD / $50 CAD
Red-Nosed Reindeer – $30 USD / $35 CAD
Christmas Stocking – $50 USD / $55 CAD
The Red-Nosed Reindeer also looks much prettier in these bracelet shots than he does in his stock image – definitely one of my favourites for the holidays this year!
Similarly, I also wasn’t that keen on the new red enamel Sparkling Surprise from the stock image, but it looks cute in this campaign shot:
Finally, there will also be a new limited edition Moments charm bracelet, featuring a pavé clasp (this picture is courtesy of the Pandora’s Angels Facebook page):
Pandora Winter 2015 Jewellery
The jewellery selection for Winter 2015 is considerably smaller than those previewed for Autumn 2015, with a focus on rings and a couple of earrings.
The Delicate Sentiments ring is one of my preferred pieces of the Winter 2015 collection, and I love the combination of the ribbon design with the delicate pearl. <3
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Radiant Embellishment – $90 USD / $100 CAD
Alluring Brilliant Marquise – $400 USD / $440 CAD
Crystalised Snowflake – $90 USD / $100 CAD
Delicate Sentiments – $65 USD / $75 CAD
Starshine – $80 USD / $90 CAD
Abundance of Love – $45 USD / $50 CAD
The stone of the blue Radiant Embellishment ring looks very striking in this live image from a Pandora AW15 preview in Amsterdam:
Finally, we have a selection of wintry earrings, with a couple of snowflake designs and the cute little Starshine studs.
Prices for North America are as follows:-
Starshine earrings – $40 USD / $45 CAD
Crystalised Snowflake earrings – $75 USD / $85 CAD
Snowflake earrings – $65 USD / $85 CAD
My Comment
While the individual pieces a bit sparkly and, in some cases, repetitive, overall the Winter 2015 collection has cohesion and the jewellery complements each other very nicely. I absolutely love the delicate bows and white enamel, and the Christmas offerings are fun too – particularly the cute Reindeer and Puppy. The novelty bracelets are also really pretty this season, particularly that Dainty Bow bangle – it looks like there will be some beautiful gift sets and LE items this year!
I am actually considering creating my first dedicated Christmas bracelet this season and would like to do a red green theme, something simple. I’d add the Dainty Bow collection and a couple of the new red enamel Christmas charms to this one! 🙂
What do you think of the new Winter pieces? Will any be going on your wish list?
