When will the Pandora Black Friday 2024 sale start?
When it comes to jewellery, Pandora needs little introduction. Founded in 1982, the label began as a small, family-run jeweller in Copenhagen before it became the bemouth name it is today.
Sitting in the mid-range price point of the market, Pandora’s offerings are more accessible than some other jewellery brands, and often even more so during Black Friday. The annual sale has previously treated us to up to 30 per cent off Pandora lines, and is perfectly timed for Christmas gifting.
If you can’t wait until the main event, I’ve spotted an early saving.

Filled with deep blue pavé, the style is complete with sparkling stars. Designed for stacking or mixing up your metals day to day, there’s also a 14k gold-plated celestial sparkling sun ring included in the set, and the two rings complement one another perfectly.
