Pandora’s new collection is aimed at Gen Z, so we asked a Noughties kid what they thought

You simply cannot go wrong with a chain bracelet, and this one from Pandora stood out as a favourite with our Gen Z reviewer. The chunky design makes it more of a statement piece, particularly when worn with the styling pavé double link (£30, Pandora.net), a personal favourite of our Noughties tester. But there are also a number of other charms that can be worn attached, including the happy mini dangle (£19, Pandora.net) and the love word link (£40, Pandora.net), with the latter allowing for a mixed-metal look that we love.

Should silver not be your metal of choice, you’ll be glad to hear that it also comes in rose gold (£125, Pandora.net).

Another thing that Pandora does well is its stacking rings, and there’s plenty available in the Me collection. The engraved diamantes add the perfect amount of sparkle, and our Gen Z reviewer loved wearing the silver and rose gold rings together. At £30 (Pandora.net) and £40 (Pandora.net) respectively, they’re a good price for a high-quality piece of jewellery and certainly something our tester would appreciate as a gift – worth bearing in mind for upcoming birthdays or Christmas.

Whether you’ve just had your ears pierced or have well and truly perfected the ear party with lots of hoops and studs, this earring deserves a spot in your collection. Similarly to the ring above, it has the perfect amount of sparkle and is a great size. Our reviewer also found it easy to take in and out – a bonus considering some hoops are notoriously difficult. Our only gripe is that it’s not possible to buy these as a pair, as they’d make a nice gift and would create more of a statement if worn together.

There’s no denying that Pandora has gone big with its link chain offering in its new collection, and we’re not complaining. This rose gold necklace featured in Addison Rae’s edit and is more dainty than the others, owing to the links being smaller, making it one of our firm favourites. In the middle, there’s a clasp for attaching your chosen charms – we opted for the rays of life medallion (£35, Pandora.net), a standout for our Gen Z tester owing to it being understated yet still a little sparkly.

The necklace also comes in silver (£90, Pandora.net), and we think it’s the perfect option if you’re still looking to channel your inner Connell Waldron with a thirst-trap chain.

While the rays of life medallion (£35, Pandora.net) is a firm favourite, this charm also stood out for our tester. It has a Bowie-esque lightning bolt design and is adorned with blue and orange diamantes that catch the light nicely. It looks particularly nice when attached to the rose gold link chain (£160, Pandora.net), but if you like a mixed-tone look, it also looks great with the silver necklace (£125, Pandora.net) too.

There’s no denying that pearls are having a moment, so if you’ve been after the perfect necklace, you’ll be glad to hear that the brand has launched one within this new collection. But forget the borrowed-from-your-grandma look, Pandora has revamped the classic design to give it a bit of edge, and we’re here for it. Three-quarters of the necklace is made of the pearls you’d expect, but the remaining third is a chunky silver link chain, giving it a contemporary look. While this won’t be for everyone, our tester was glad to see something a little more grown-up within the range. And if you like the design, but you’re not sure about wearing it as a necklace, the good news is it's available as a bracelet (£125, Pandora.net) too.

Nameplate and initial pendants have become a staple of late, but we’re increasingly seeing words and phrases appearing on necklaces too. Pandora has clearly jumped on the bandwagon, giving us a selection of different word charms including “freedom”, “blessed” and “peace”. Out of the lot, our reviewer favoured “dream” the most and thought it would make a nice sentimental gift from a family member or loved one – so, if you’re stuck for ideas, then dream big!
