Pandora is previewing their new Club Charm before the release this year! It will be launched with the rest of the Spring 2017 Collection on March 16th. Unsurprisingly, it’s a heart and features a tiny diamond and engraved with “Pandora Club” on the back. The design is a locket and opens to show “2017” inside. I haven’t been very impressed with the Club Charms since I’m not a fan of heart motifs
I’ve missed a few Ohm Beads releases and I heartily apologize! This article is for cataloging purposes so I can’t speak to the availability of the limited edition pieces but the regular designs are part of the main collection. Ohm Beads has large releases every month and for February, it’s another eclectic collection of designs from this brand. Starting off is the BOTM called Love Kills and only 333 pieces were made. This
*redbalifrog* is introducing their Valentine’s Day collection called Holding Your Heart. This is a mini-release with only 2 new designs called Winged Heart and Cupid’s Love. It’s a lovely set and comes just in time for Valentine’s Day, and is perfect for ladies that are looking for a special charm to represent that special someone. The Winged Heart is a dangle featuring angel wings and another dangle heart inside. It’s
Trollbeads is introducing an exciting new line today with their Tiara Collection! This is a rather niche product and is an interesting modular take on the tiara. The tiara is a statement piece, typically reserved for formal affairs, so this collection is really targeted towards the wedding market.

I’ve been behind on previewing the Pandora Valentine’s Day 2017 Collection, so I’m very excited to see these new designs debut today! I’m generally not a fan of the Valentine’s Day releases from Pandora because it’s too much pink and hearts for me. But surprisingly, even though it’s the same motifs, I’m liking this collection a lot! I certainly like it more than normal and mostly it’s because of the
Trollbeads usually introduces their spring launch in January ahead of everyone, but this year the debut is slightly later on February 17th. I’m so excited to share a preview of the release called Kindred Spirits. It features a nature theme with fantastical creatures, a truly whimsical and earthy collection! The photos are courtesy of Trollbeads, so please do not reproduce without crediting. There are 15 silver charms, 2 decorative locks, 2 rings, and
Ohm Beads just launched their releases for January and they are mostly additions to current collections. It’s shaping up to be another busy year for the brand and we should be seeing the same type of release schedule – about one debut date per month. For January, there are new designs for the Rawr Collection, Your Faith Looks Familiar (YFLF), a new Bead of the Month, and two stand alone glass barrel beads called Fireball
Happy New Year, everyone! I’m always astounded at how quickly the year passes by and 2016 was no exception. This was our first holiday season where my son kind of knew what was going on so we went all out with decorations. It was so cute watching him open all his presents, which he got doubles of since he’s got a birthday around Christmas too. Turning to the first release of the
*****CONTEST CLOSED***** Ohm Beads kicked off their annual 12 Days of Beadmas giveaways on the 1st and today’s contest features the Baby Blocks Love Family charm! This is one of my favorites and really highlights the theme of the holidays – celebrating and being with family.

Today is the start of the annual Pandora Christmas ornament promotion for North America! It is free with any purchase over $125USD, while supplies last. This year’s GWP features a present ornament in the same style as the previous 5 years – white ceramic. From experience this is one of the promotions that runs out quick, so I would recommend getting it as soon as you can. In addition, this is the
The Trollbeads Foundabead contest is back! Longtime followers will remember the first Foundabead scavenger hunt featured the smiley beads. The brand is following the amazing Pokémon GO phenomenon and is hosting the Foundabead competition again with Poké ball style beads. The event started a couple weeks ago and fans have been scrambling to find these elusive beads ever since. Retailers have been allotted a few of the Pokémon Foundabeads and have
Trollbeads is debuting a new exclusive today called Daylight Brilliance! It’s limited edition and will be 25% off for this Black Friday weekend only.
