*****UPDATE*****
The US will be getting the red, white, and blue swirls Murano! They will be released for the 4th of July, but it will be limited edition – stores only get to put in one order, similar to the Midnight Hearts charm. Can’t wait!
Happy Valentine’s day charms addicts! In addition to tempting us ladies (and our beaus) with their lovely heart box promotion this month, Pandora also gifted us fans with some official photos of their new UK “exclusive” charms that they are releasing to help celebrate the 2012 London Olympics:
These just went up on the Pandora Facebook group a little over an hour ago and they are already getting a ton of attention. According to Pandora these will NOT be UK exclusives, surprisingly! A quote from their official post:
Lovely ladies! We are delighted to present to you three new UK inspired charms: A cute double-decker bus, a swirl Murano charm in blue, red and white, and finally a dangle charm with the Union Jack pattern embossed on one side, and the year ’2012′ engraved on the other side.
The charms are not exclusive to the UK, but availability will vary from country to country. The dangle charm will only be available for a limited period of time.The charms will be released in July, so you’ll have to be patient
More details will follow…
July!? That’s a long time to wait! There were rumors that they would be available as early as late February, but July does make sense since that’s when the Olympics will be kicking off. And it’s great to hear that they won’t just be in the UK — hopefully that means we’ll be able to get them easier here in the US if they are available in other European countries. The medal dangle is going to be a limited edition, however, so that’ll definitely be the one we’re going to have chase after!
Super exciting! These little guys really turned out great, and I am looking forward to getting my hands on them. I love the enameling on the bus; the 3 colors treatment is a very pleasant surprise.
I am a little disappointed though … I was hoping that the bus would be red.
Yeahhh…that would have been extra cool! Sad it’s not going to be available until July
.
I am so excited about the bus…. Can’t wait to have in my georgia hands….. We lived in the UK for several years and this will be so precios for my daughters… I am addicted to Pandora…..oh yeah
It would be soooo good if they had Olympic sports as charms! I have seen on chamilla do volleyball charms which looks fab. I love the bus and swirl so far though
That would be fun if they had more sport themed charms!
Am super excited about these got all 3 of them a few weeks ago now they look great in person! Love the bus!
