Those of you that like to collect the gold beads, Pandora has four new beads for you but between the ever increasing price of gold and the inclusion of diamonds be prepared for a bit of sticker shock at the prices.
There is a nice simple chain of hearts bead, which is perfect for so many different occasions and an abstract bead with diamonds. The pattern very reminiscent of one of their silver beads but unlike the silver beads, which uses cubic zirconias, this one comes with real diamonds.
They have released yet another abstract bead, though I rather like this style of bead as they are a nice way to add texture to a bracelet and can work to help show off more detailed beads. This would look great on a mixed silver and gold bracelet too. Like the above chain of hearts bead it is a nice way to add a touch of gold to a mixed silver and gold bracelet without breaking the bank.
The gold crown bead is very detailed, though the detailing doesn't show up very well in these pictures it looks amazing in real life. Unfortunately as the crown is a limited edition bead and comes complete numerous diamonds to highlight it so I will have to settle for drooling over it when I see it at my local Pandora retailer. I hope they don't mind my nose prints all over their display case glass.
For those of us who are partial to mixed gold and silver beads Pandora has come up with 2 new designs. I personally think Pandora is just showing off with the first of these, it has so much detail on it, its touches like that that I think shows the difference between good quality beads and the cheap Chinese knock offs. Add to that it comes with either faceted moonstone or onyx "leaf" I think it would look great on my all silver bracelet.
There is also a new flower bead, Pandora have done several similar designs but as I know more than a few people that are doing garden themed bracelets this would be perfect for them. A chain of silver flowers with diamond centres, the diamonds highlighted with gold edging.
Keep an eye out for my next post where I will post the new dangle & munaro beads for spring 2010.
