More previews on the Pandora fall charms today as we have a sneak peek at the upcoming Pandora Essence Autumn 2016 Collection! I’m not sure if this is it or if there are others too; my sense is that this is the entire set since Essence releases are on the smaller side. The release coincides with the regular Autumn Collection on September 1st.
I’m glad to see more beads coming out for this line but disappointed that they’re still recycling the attributes. I love the use of the mother-of-pearl mosaic for Generosity, Balance, and Compassion but it does look very similar to the Thomas Sabo Karma Beads designs. Appreciation is a smaller version of the blush Radiant Hearts, but I’m intrigued by Freedom which is described as having a botanical pattern in enamel. The color theme looks to be pink, white, and grey which is lovely.
The most exciting part of this collection is the upcoming gold Essence bangle! Gold bracelets are often a request from fans of the high end metal and it’s great to see that Pandora has responded. I do wonder why they didn’t make the regular Essence bracelet in gold first rather than start with the bangle. I’m not sure that I’ll be splurging for this version in gold, but it is great to have options.
This is a collection I’m definitely looking forward to! Does anything catch your eye? Do you have an Essence bracelet yet?
