Pandoras New Charity Beads for 2010

Pandora has released new a selection of new beads for 2010 to help support charities both in Europe, the USA and Africa.

Adding to their selection Breast Cancer awareness pink ribbon charms in silver and gold is a lovely silver dangle charm and pink leather bracelet.  Available for purchase separately or together.   I think the leather bracelet is too cute and would look great with just the silver charm on for a nice classic look, or to go mad and fill it with bright beads in pinks and greens for a cheerful spring fun piece of jewelry.

 

This sterling silver charm with two flower engraved amulets that swing apart  where you can add your own engraving between the amulets.  I can't find a picture of the other side of the amulet, but the flower looks like a simple daisy. This charm would also look great on a necklace either a leather one or the oxidized silver one.  Available world wide 15% of the money from the sale of this charm and bracelet go to a Breast Cancer awareness organization in the country of purchase.
 
Also released is Pandoras Denmark Collection 2010.  Released to help support African women the money is to go to 12 specific projects that help African women to achieve a better life and to enable them to create a future for Africa.  The emergency in Haiti created such a huge need for help that the 12 organizations behind Collection have banded together to also help the victims in Haiti.  By purchasing this charm and bracelet you will be not only helping women in Africa but you will be involved in helping the disaster victims in Haiti too.

The money goes to such charities as Unicef, Doctors without Borders and the Danish Red Cross so you know that it is going to were it can do the most good.  

 
Available in silver and gold the charm comes with a brown textile cord with matching silver or gold ends included.  The cord is can be worn many different ways and enables you to use it either as a bracelet or necklace.  The charms, of course, also work with your normal Pandora bracelet or necklace.  All proceeds from the sale of this bracelet and charm goes to the Denmark collection.  

This might be a hard to track down item for those of us not lucky enough to be in Denmark, as far as I can tell this item is only being release there, at least for the moment.  I would suggest doing a google search for jewellers selling Pandora beads in Denmark and contacting them.  I know when I was over there most Danish people, if a little shy about speaking English, did speak it embarrassingly well (embarrassing because my Danish barely consisted of Hello, Yes No, and the numbers from 1 to 10).  As the item isn't available overseas I can't see that there would be any problem getting it shipped to you.  If anyone finds a good source for these outside of Denmark if they could let me know and I will post the information here.
