Pandora is one of the world’s most popular jewellery brands – famed for its charm bracelets, collab collections and lab-grown diamond range. Although, the newest line from the jewellery giant is a little different to what we’ve seen before.
Named essence, the launch focuses on more fashion-forward pieces, increasing the brand’s gold-tone offering while also playing with pearls and more modern designs. Think thin asymmetrical rings, clashes of silver and gold colourways and more sculptural, sophisticated shapes.
According to the brand, “it represents the freedom to embrace natural forms and fluid lines in everyday style,” and these dainty jewellery pieces are sure to work their way into many people’s everyday rotation. Plus, they’re made from sterling silver and 14-karat gold plating, to give them a more luxurious look as well, with prices starting at £35.
