As usual, the designers at Pandora have outdone themselves. The spring collection of Pandora Beads (61 new charm styles in all!) is breathtaking, and for many who, because of price, must limit themselves to a set number of beads per year, it will be a tough call!
Whereas some seasons have seen types of beads in many different styles and of many differing types, this year’s collection seems to have an underlying theme (though what precisely the theme is proves elusive). The unifying theme from their collection makes it easy to mix 2011′s beads in unique and unusual combinations.
One line of charms that immediately pulls one’s attention are the birthstone charms. The birthstones are understated elegance made manifest. You actually can’t go wrong regardless of which you select, from the subtle softness of the Orange Moonstone to the strong lines of the Rhodolite Heart.
Of course if you wish to fill out a bracelet or individualize beads that you already own, you can’t go wrong with the brand new Murano Glass beads. Each hand crafted bead is, as usual, stunning, and the combinations of color and pattern on this year’s beads can only be described as uplifting, and there actually isn’t any better word. Each and every one will make you smile.
This year the Pandora craftsmen have gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to complete uniqueness. The silver and red babushka bead has an European magnificence, and the silver dog in its doghouse charm will make you grin ear to ear. The delicate artistry of the blooming rose beads (each set with a different color) are breathtaking and the golden and exquisite detail of Pandora’s radiance beads (either with diamonds or sapphires), well hold you glued to the screen, for there really are no words to explain how beautiful they are.
But for pure uniqueness, the one that stands out by far is the Pandora Viking bead, a blithe little number whose strong lines and detail work by which each buckle on his outfit and hair on his beard is picked out, will definitely win your heart.
The only area in which this year’s collection seems to be lacking is in Pandora’s silver-only collection; there aren’t almost as many selections to choose from, however the pure artistry of the charms Pandora has released for 2011 greater than make up for their lack in this area.
All in all, Pandora’s 2011 beads are by far some of the best yet, and in case you are not already hooked, just browsing the spring collection might be a temptation to begin a collection of your own.
