PANDORA BRACELET ESSENCE COLLECTION

The Essence Collection

Pandora recently introduced a New Bracelet and Charm Bead line called The Essence Collection.

The Bracelets are Different, the Charms are Different, so my Goal, is to take a closer look at them.

24 New Charms

There are 24 New Charms in the Essence Collection. What makes them Different is their Size, Style and Personality!

You see, they are not as Tall (Lengthwise) as a Normal Pandora Gemstone Bead is. They are more Rounded in Appearance, which actually makes them Look Pretty Cool.

But, the Biggest Difference in these New Beads are:

What they Represent

Each Bead Represents something like Love, Faith, Confidence and Respect. The Words are actually Inscribed Directly onto the Side of the Bead. This makes them Unique and Interesting. The Designs are made of Genuine Gemstones like Amethyst, Carnelian, Moonstone and Lapis.

Many Beads also have CZ (Cubic Zirconia) Stones in them to make them Sparkle and Dance in the Light.

All of the Gems and Colors have Meanings (like Chakra Gems)…

So let’s take a closer look at the Actual Beads and what they Stand for…

The Interesting Thing to Note here is, not all the Colors are Represented Correctly.

For Example:

Peace is usually Represented by the Color White. But in this Collection they Represent Peace as Blue ???

And actually, only 10 of them are the Right Colors…

Maybe it’s because they already had 6 White Beads and didn’t want anymore? Who Knows!

Inconsistencies in the Colors could just be Interpreted Differently. After all, there is Creative License. Plus, Most Gemstones have Tons of Different Meanings anyway, so any Color could Probably Represent any Meaning.

But it does make me Raise an Eyebrow…

Gray for Balance?

Black for Courage?

Maybe…

All in all, they do a Good Job. The Charms are Different and Unique enough, and the Styles are Cool and Trendy. I think this Line will do Well. Just know that if you Buy one of these Charms as a Gift, they won’t be able to Wear it unless they already own an Essence Bracelet! (So Buy the New Bracelet as well)

These Charms have a Smaller Hole, that also have a Silicone Grip for the More Narrow but Flexible Bracelet (Patented of Course).

The Essence Collection is Not Available in All Pandora Retailers either… (they will be Next Spring). For now, this New Concept is only Sold in their Official Pandora Stores! Check online with Pandora.net to see where the Locations are and to Order any Bracelets or Charms.

While I do think this is a Bad Move for Pandora (to Limit their Availability), I do think it will Drive Sales through Demand. I’m sure it will be High on many Women’s Christmas List!

So Guys, if your Counterpart likes Pandora, think about this as your Gift and you’ll see a Twinkle in her Eye.

It’s a Sure Crowd Pleaser!

Just think of the Many Meanings and Occasions they Provide:

For someone starting out in a New Career or Job, you could Buy them the Prosperity Bead.

For someone going through Chemotherapy, you could get them the Wellness, Health, Hope or Courage Bead.

Kids could get their Mom the Love Bead!

If someone is Joining a Gym, you could get them the Balance, Energy or Strength Bead.

See what I Mean?

The Meanings are Endless! It’s all up to your Imagination. There is No Better Way to Provide someone with a Sentimental Gift than a Charm that goes Straight to the Heart.

You really can’t go Wrong!

Pandora will be Hot as Hell this Christmas, and with the New Charm line… I have a Feeling some Dreams will Come True! :)

Happy Holidays!

P.S. Do Note that I Don’t Work for Pandora, I am Not Affiliated with Pandora, I don’t Sell Pandora… My Mom is just a Huge Huge Fan and said “You should do a Post about their New Essence Line“.

Hence… I Did!

Cheers! :) I hope you liked it.
