Newly Retired Pandora Charms

Pandora has just released a new list of Pandora Charms that they will be retiring, beginning the end of September.

What this means is that once stocks run out of any of the Pandora beads on the latest list of retired beads, you will no longer be able to purchase them. So, if any of the Pandora charms in the list are some that you were thinking of purchasing at some point, you might want to re-think your purchase schedule as if you wait too long they may not be available.

It seems that for this batch of retired Pandora charms they are targeting many of the gold charms with ruby insets, as well as some of their silver charms. Hopefully this is an indication that the new Fall 2009 Pandora charm selection will be coming out soon. I think many people are poised, waiting on tip-toe for the new beads to hit the shops, myself included! I can’t wait to see what will be in this newest batch of charms so I can add a charm to my gold charm bracelet.

In the meantime, here is a list of some the Pandora charms that are being retired. Again, if there are any that were thinking about getting sometime, you might want to go ahead right away and purchase them, or at least put them on your Christmas wish-list so that someone will get them for you over Christmas. And if you think you are going to be clever and buy up a whole slew of retiring Pandora Charms, think again. Many shops are reserving the right to limit the number of retired beads any one person buys, so that plan may not work as well as you had hoped it would.

Anyway, as promised, here is the list of forty-one retiring beads:

Celebrate Christmas with Pandora Charms

If you are wondering what gift to give this Christmas, you really should take a look at the Pandora Charms jewelry selection. There are some absolutely beautiful Christmas or holiday charms that would make the perfect gift. Or perhaps you already have your Pandora charm bracelet, but you are wanting to design one that fits with the cheery Christmas season? It really is great to be able to switch charms around to come up with a completely new design to match the season or occasion!

Holiday Charms

chr P seeing stars There is a whole slew of Pandora charms that are very Christmas oriented. Two of my favourite gold charms that fall into this selection are the Gold Seeing Stars bead, which is a gold band with cut out stars in it, and the beautiful gold Angel of Hope.

If you are looking more at the Sterling Silver range of Pandora charms there are likewise some that would look great on a Christmas bracelet. I love the Silver Snowflake Charm with the tiny aquamarine Cubic Zirconia set on top. The design is delightful, very well crafted. If you want a Christian themed Christmas bracelet, you could also include the Silver Cross dangle, which either has the clear or the blue stones inlaid. The silver starburst Charm which includes a touch of gold as well, also seems appropriate to use on a Christmas bracelet.

An all time favourite for Christmas bracelets is the Sterling Silver Christmas tree with it’s gorgeous gold decorations. chr p tree This is a very neat and well designed Pandora charm that really does bring a lot of Christmas cheer with it. It’s hard not to think about the Christmas season when you see this particular bead!

Going right along with the “Little Drummer Boy” Christmas carol, is the Silver drum charm with its gold drumsticks, again another cute addition to your seasonal bracelet.

Yet another Sterling silver with gold charm that would fit well is the Sterling silver Peace and Happiness charm, which is completed by the addition of tiny gold doves, truly reminiscent of Christmas and the doves that always somehow seem to appear in manger scenes and children’s Christmas plays.

chr P peace Christmas is not complete without stars, thus the silver Hanging star charm, where the dangling star is made from gold, would also go well with the Christmas themed bracelet.

Other Sterling silver charms that seem suited to this particular bracelet includes the Silver Present Charm; the Silver Angel Charm; the Silver Snowman charm and of course Santa’s Little Helper charm.

To add some color to your charm bracelet, there are plenty of red and green enamel and murano glass beads that could add some of the traditional Christmas colors to your bracelet.

Christmas Colored Bracelets

Aside from merely adding Christmas or seasonal charms to make up a Christmas Pandora charm bracelet, one other idea is to actually color coordinate your entire bracelet to reflect this season. I personally really enjoy doing this, as the subtle mixing of colors can really make for a fantastic Christmas Charm bracelet.

Some ideas along these lines include mixing and matching your silver charms with red and green fillers and enamel and murano glass beads for a cheery traditional Christmas look.

Or, if you prefer, you could opt for a winter-time, snow themed Christmas bracelet. This particular bracelet could include various seasonal Sterling Silver charms, including of course the traditional Christmas tree in Silver and gold, and then use various shades of blue for the remaining charms. This really does give it a great winter wonderland type appearance.

If you prefer to have an all-gold bracelet, there are plenty of choices of gold Pandora charms to choose from including the gold Seeing Stars bead and the Angel of Hope. Great color choices to go along with an all gold bracelet include the warmer browns and dark reds.

Perhaps you can’t afford to set up an entire set of Christmas Pandora charms for your seasonal themed bracelet, but at the least you can choose a selection of anywhere from three to five or six themed beads.

However you like to celebrate this special time of the year, have fun and enjoy the pleasure of giving to others!

Pandora Beads - New Pandora Wood Beads Collection - Pandora Wood Charms!

pandora-wood-1 Just prior to their late September Pandora 2009 Fall Charms release, Pandora released five beautiful wood Pandora charms. It is the first time ever that Pandora has worked in wood, and these wood Pandora Beads are absolutely stunning!

The wood Pandora beads are made from five different types of natural wood, with none of the wood being very well known, as an initiative on Pandora Jewelry’s part to help highlight endangered tropical rainforests.

The five Pandora wood charms feature different grains and wood shades, ranging from very dark brown (almost black) shades to a light golden wood shade. These Pandora charms are made in exactly the same manner as other Pandora beads, and they closely resemble the murano glass beads in style. The center of the beads are made from sterling silver, and they thread onto the bracelet just like all of the other charms do.

Combining these wood Pandora beads on your existing bracelets will add a lot of charm to them. Wood has such a great look to it, that it mixes well with either gold or silver. You could also mix them up with your Murano beads for a very unique look. I’m sure, once you look at them, you will have many ideas how to best showcase your new beads on your bracelet. Pandora are also releasing some different colored leather bracelets this coming Fall with their Fall 2009 Pandora Charms release and these wood Pandora charms would be just perfect for adding onto a leather bracelet.

Here is a description of the five different wood beads:

The Acupu wood Pandora Bead is made from a darkish brown wood with a very outstanding and noticeable grain.
The Muiracatiara wood Pandora Bead is made from a lighter brown color with a soft straight grain.
The Muirapiranga wood Pandora bead is made from wood that is more of a reddish brown color, again with a subtle, soft grain.
The Cornacao wood Pandora bead is made from a very dark brown colored wood, which is apparently a very hard wood.
The Pau Amarelo wood Pandora bead is made from a very light, almost yellowish colored wood with a very soft grain.

They are not terribly expensive, and will most likely retail for somewhere around the $45 price range. If you haven’t splurged and bought a new charm for a while, I would suggest you don’t wait till the Autumn collection comes out, but go ahead and check out these gorgeous wood Pandora Charms right away. They’re on sale online now, and if not in your favourite jewelry store yet, will be there soon.
