I've finally been able to track down a sneak peak at the new Pandora beads. You'll have to bear with me about the quality of the pictures as they are from a scan of the catalogue, as I get better quality pictures in I will update this post, I know many of you are dying for a look at the beads and thought that this would at least give you a taste to tide you over, and help give you plenty of time to start saving before their release in April.
There is good news with these first 2 beads they are both for sale already, just in time for Easter and Mothers Day. A kangaroo with a little joey in its pouch would make such a cute Mothers Day gift. The bad news is that as far as I can find out they are only for sale in the UK and Australia, though if any of you have had sightings of these for sale anywhere else let me know. I know a lot of dealers won't sell out of country but there are some that will or you may have family or friends overseas so if you can't wait until April I'd start calling in those favours.
I love the new silver butterfly bead it is very elegant looking and the cute. . hmmm I am guessing he's a turtle (I haven't seen this bead in person yet to confirm) whatever he is he has the cutest grin on his face. The catalogue has him marked as CS limited, so it looks like he's a limited edition.
The new silver clip is an instant add to my Pandora wishlist. I have been hoping for some new plain silver clips as I have been wanting to change my clips for ages, but haven't been able to find any I like better until now. The little stack of books is another bead I can't wait to see in real life, the detail on it just in this grainy old picture looks amazing. Last of the plain silver beads is an abstract design bead, always nice to have a new one of those to add texture and interest to a bracelet. It is probably just me but that looks so much like the back of a lizard or dragon, ooh which would make the perfect bead for my Mother in Law who collects dragons.
There are four new enameled beads. I have been thinking about starting a coloured bracelet and thing the red enameled vine bead would look great with the swirly red munaro beads on a bracelet. As would the blue one, the little enameled sun would be a great way to remember a summer holiday or a nice accent to a summer or garden themed bracelet. As I am sure you can count you may have noticed that I said there were four new enameled beads but have only show three, the remaining bead is only the 1st place medal bead redone with a blue centre to make it look more like a blue ribbon.
I will be posting the rest of the beads, the gold and mixed gold and silver beads, the semi precious stone, the munaro beads over the next few days I have to fiddle with the pictures I have to try and make the quality a little better and as I am still learning GIMP please be patient. If any of you have seen any of the beads in person, or have been lucky enough to get one of the chick or roo beads already please leave a comment and let us know what you think of the new collection.
