Pandora Beads – New Pandora Wood Beads Collection – Pandora Wood Charms!
Date: Monday September 14, 2009Posted in: pandora beads
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.

Barb, you can purchase them online at any of the popular on line Pandora charm sites. There’s a good chance too that your local jewelry shop may sell them too, they are very popular and are carried by quite a few jewelry shops. Still, ordering on line is pretty simple, and there’s often free shipping for orders over a certain price.
