Some more pictures surfaced from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection on Facebook a couple of days ago. I had to photoshop them to get make them look nicer, so sorry for the delay!
We *finally* have clear pictures of what the destination charms look like! As you can see, each destination charm has a little heart on the monument portion and the country where it’s located engraved on the base. Personally I feel like the heart is a little bit cheesy, but over all they look very detailed. I’m still not sure if they’re going to be too substantial for dangles, but I guess we’ll find out. These are supposed to be available for sale on July 1st on Perlen, and the US should be getting all the dangles in store as well.
I think everyone is going to be very excited about this charm – the “Family Forever”! There were rumors a few weeks ago that Pandora was going to be releasing a two-tone version of the Family Ties Charm (FTC) (for those who aren’t familiar with the drama involved with that charm, check out this post). I’m glad to see that it’s a differently design entirely. In my opinion, the FTC was kinda creepy looking with all the zombie children, lol. But I know a lot of ladies were VERY disappointed to learn that these were retired. I was a bit tempted to go on the hunt for one, but only because it became a rare charm. I really couldn’t justify paying >$600USD when I refused to pay £150 when they were available for sale.
Look, a picture of the cruise ship! It does look exactly like a cruise ship. The hearts clip reminds me of the stars clip, so that one is definitely on my wishlist. I love the cute little stocking, but how would I be able to work that into a theme unless it was a holiday one? Lots of holiday charms with this collection!
Only a few gold charms with this collection – all openworks, these included. We see that the butterflies and hearts openworks are recast in gold and a new charm with onyx (this matches the ring coming out in the fall). I also heard a rumor that Pandora is raising prices on gold charms in mid-June, but I hope it’s not true because I really want to get some gold pieces in the near future!
Lastly, we have the different colored “crystal” Muranos! These actually look pretty cool. When the first picture came out of the faceted black bead, it almost looked plastic-ey, but I think these are definitely made of glass. I love them, but wished they came in more colors! What are your thoughts on the new collection?
any idea what the pricing is going to be like for any of these new charms?
The two-tone Family Forever is a must-have for me!! I’m also interested in the heart version of the Stardom clip. Other than that, nothing else on this page speaks to me…
Oh! I’m going to “need” a pair of the heart clips and the stocking looks really cute…I’m planning a Christmas themed bracelet on a red leather but may have to move my design onto a silver if I get too many charms on there!…the faceted glass looks interesting, am anxious to see those in person!…thank you for posting these pics Leann!
Sooo in love with the faceted murano, they will be $35 too??
Aww, these Muranos are $45.
come to think of it, there already is a gold openworks heart, it is item number 750964…wonder what’s different about this one, hmm
Wondering what the price will be for the new Family Forever Bead as I must have this!!! LOL!
I will keep watching your post for prices! <3
I’ll be soooo poor once this collection is relesed… Tho it’s always difficult to say if there will be all aviable in my country too. The blue dangle Charm is really nice and so I hope it’ll be on sale as well in Germany. ^^
But more worse: If other charms have to go again, the hunt on them will start as well :/
Thanks for sharing all the pictures!
I need that black Murano for my black and white bracelet! Also the gold beads are already only slightly justifiably pricey for being only 14k (and yes I am taking into account the high price of gold right now). Don’t get me wrong I think they are gorgeous but if this rumor is indeed true its super disappointing. So I hope its not! *crosses fingers*
I so hope we get the Christmas stocking in the UK, I know 2 little granddaughters that will love one. The black and white faceted muranos are quite appealing as well. Can’t wait to see them in person, hopefully they will be in the UK also, I’m definitely going to have to get the white looking glass murano now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this post! I’m excited for the fall/winter collection now! I was really upset before thinking I would not be buying any of the charms when the first pictures were released. The cruise ship is the most exciting thing for me of all! Thanks for the great pictures Leann
no twotone for destination charm?
They were always silver
.
The faceted muranos look very nice, and I’m especially interested in the all-white bead for a winter-themed bracelet (with the snowman, snowflake bead, and upcoming ice skate dangle).
I love it. I can’t wait to see them all in person and buy most of them.
leann do you know the price for the destination charms? love the muranos! last year my concept store in syracuse had fall charms in just after the 4th of july,any idea when these will be available?
Destination charms will be $45. I’m thinking later in July, but hopefully earlier!!:)
Looks like $45, thanks Ash! And they should be available in early July
.
Our store is saying end of July, but we are hoping earlier!! Soo excited about them.
I LOVE the faceted Muranos!! I think I need the black and white. I’m also loving the family ties!
Gold openwork heart is already out in the UK – £269
The destination charms are already out in spain, i saw 2 of them in my Pandora store, but I dont really like them too much
The cruise ship & the destination charms are just what I need for the travel theme bracelet I am starting!!!!
I just checked out Perlen. I think that they have increased prices on almost everything since yesterday!
