Today’s post pandora charms sale uk covers a surprising little mini launch that has landed in the UK and Europe, offering a small selection of the upcoming Pandora Autumn 2017 collection early! The release includes the much anticipated Mesh charm bracelet, plus some very affordable selections from the upcoming collection. *UPDATED* Pandora have changed things around since I posted this preview – the Black Friday charm has been released with the Winter 2017 collection as a regular limited edition for the holidays. And today’s post brings something of an exciting AW17 preview, with a sneak peek at this year’s Pandora Black Friday charm! If you’ve not come across this before, Pandora release a limited edition bead for Black Friday every year, and have done since 2011. There have been lots of exciting previews and sneak peeks lately, and today’s post brings another, with a look at an upcoming new limited edition charm for the UK! The charm will be sold in support of the BBC’s Children in Need charity, and features Pandora’s take on the CIN mascot, Pudsey the teddy bear. For those who aren’t familiar with it, Children in Need is a UK charity run by the BBC (our national television company) in support of disabled children and young people in Britain. It’s a pretty big deal here and they run big televised appeals every November.:) Last year’s appeal raised £32 million! The charm officially launched in the UK a couple of days ago on the 5th of October. Pandora have been promoting the charm with the hashtag #PandoraxPudsey and lots of colourful campaign posters – although I did drop into my local store yesterday and couldn’t see any advertising out for the new Pudsey charm in store yet. The charm will be sold until the Children in Need telethon airs on the 13th of November. The charm follows pandora uk outlet sale recent style of doing portrait representations of animals, featuring only their faces instead of their full bodies. I’m not really sure how instantly recognisable he is as Pudsey (his face has a teensy weensy little hint of chipmunk to me) but he has, nevertheless, a very sweet little face, with an enthusiastic smile.

This year’s charm pandora charms uk sale focuses again on the charity’s mascot, Pudsey the Bear, who wears a colourful bandana over one eye. However, while last year’s charm just featured his head, this time Pandora have gone for a rather cute full-bodied design (which better suits my personal tastes, as it offers more detail! ). I think they’ve done a better job of making it look like Pudsey this time around – from what I can see, anyway! This year’s charm has no coloured CZ on the bandana, with just enamel spots instead – again a design decision that I much prefer! I remembering being so pleasantly surprised by the Pandora and CIN team-up last year, and it’s just as nice to see them continuing to support the charity this year! I prefer this year’s design to last year’s, as I prefer the greater level of detail of full-bodied designs, so I will definitely be picking up this Pudsey charm to go with my one from last year. It’ll be interesting to see whether Pandora continue making LE charms for Children in Need in future years – I don’t really see how many versions of Pudsey they can make, but it would be nice to see the collaboration continue. Last year this charm was very popular, and I had a lot of requests for advice on how to get one from international collectors – I’m sure the same will be true of this year! The charm is pretty similar to last year’s, but with a full-bodied design. I have to say that I do prefer having the fuller detail, as I find the single head charms slightly cartoony – I still find the 2015 Pudsey very cute, but I just prefer the fuller design. To me, Pandora have also done a slightly better job at making it actually look like Pudsey – when you have his full body for context, it’s much more apparent that he’s actually a teddy bear! Here’s another shot, showing him off in natural light (which is rather grey, as the weather is horrible here today). He’s so cute! This year, Pudsey has the year stamped underneath him as well (excuse the rather rude shot! ). It’s only very small, and blends in with the S925 ALE, but it should please collectors who like special charms to be commemorated with the date pandora uk sale clearance
