It’s the Chinese New Year today so Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone! Every year for the past few, Pandora Rose Logo Clip Charm Cheap has been releasing special charms to celebrate the Lunar New Year. This is the year of the ram but rather than come out with another sheep or ram bead, the brand decided to offer more generic Chinese themed charms. The gold Ingot is another version of the silver one that came out for CNY 2014 and the Chinese Doll is a new design.

The China Doll matches the other two Asian dolls that came out last season – the Korean Doll and the Japanese Doll. These three are definitely part of a set but boast their own characteristics which represents the cultures that they’re named for. The China Doll has been released in some markets already, like in Asia and Australia, and will debut for the rest of the world with the Pandora Black Heart Charm Sale Spring 2015 Collection in March. I’ve been waiting to put all three together and I love this bangle!

Football is back as the NFL season kicks off tonight with the Seahawks vs. the Packers! I’m a recent convert to the sport and I’ve very much enjoyed watching my team on their journey to and winning the Super Bowl last year. Since Pandora recently came out with an NFL Collection in early summer, even though it was the offseason, this is a great time to take a look at these charms. The NFL release included two designs: engraved logos on the back of the Unforgettable Moments dangle and engraved logos on the front of the two-tone helmet Pandora Houston Texans Charm Christmas Sale. For a look at all the teams, check out Pandora NFL Collection Debut.

Pandora Gems and Silver Charm Cheap has been providing special charms to different distribution channels in the North America for the past couple of seasons. While I understand the reasoning behind this, it does create a bit of confusion and hassle for fans who tend to have a preferred retailer. Shop-in-shops, Concept Stores, and Jared Galleria of Jewelry have each received an exclusive bead that is only available at that type of store. Keep in mind that these restrictions only apply for the US and Canada, not worldwide.

For Mother’s Day, the charm available at shop-in-shops is the Pandora Faith Charm Sale openworks bead; for Concept Stores it is the Filled With Love dangle; and Jared had two charms again this season – the Pink & Multi-Color Cosmic Clip and Sweet Mother dangle. I’ve got most of these on my spring roses bracelet, which I previewed in the Pandora Rose Garden Collection post. The Roses charm is heavily textured and features the outline of 3 roses in a circle – I love this design and it’s one of my favorites from this collection.
