Review: Jiminy Cricket from Pandora Disney Autumn 2018

Review: Jiminy Cricket from Pandora Disney Autumn 2018!

I have not bought a new Pandora Disney bead in some time – not since last winter! – as the Spring/Summer collections have focused more heavily on Mickey and Minnie designs, of which I feel I have enough already. So I was delighted when the AW18 range proved to have such a heavy focus on other characters, bringing to life the more villainous side of Snow White and the wonderful world of Pinocchio. 

[morapandora]

Today sees the global launch of the Pandora Disney Autumn 2018 collection, and to celebrate I have HQ images, live shots and commentary on all the new beads to celebrate! This collection sees new additions to the popular range of Snow White charms, and a brand new addition to the Pandora Disney range.

For those who are unaware, Pandora do not currently want their Disney collections previewed in advance, although I am trying to see whether there might be any leeway on this going forward. In the meantime, read on for a full look at the Pandora Disney Autumn 2018 collection!

Pandora Disney Autumn 2018 collection

What I love most about the Snow White beads is that they include some villain-themed beads! Collectors have been requesting a Disney villains collection, and while Pandora haven’t quite gone for that, they seem to have taken the decision to include some darker charms alongside the cuter beads.

The Evil Queen’s Black Magic bead is a Disney-fied take on button-style charms – with a dramatic black stone at its heart, the sides of the charms feature cut-outs of scenes from the film. Next, we have the Evil Queen’s Magic Mirror – on one side of the charm we have Snow White herself, and on the other the Evil Queen.

The Snow White’s Apple and Heart charm is perhaps the most successful of these darker beads – it has deliciously sinister overtones, with its little heart box and the bright red of the poisoned apple. 

The Snow White Portrait clip offers a sweeter counterpoint to the Queen-themed beads, although I’m not sure whether I like the style of the detailing. It might look a bit more subtle in person!

On the other hand, the Snow White’s Bird charm is just so cute! The sparkle is complemented by really solid silver detailing – I can’t quite tell how the charm is weighted, though, with the bird leaning forward from its perch. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.

The Snow White’s Book charm is just that perfect representation of the heavy fairytale book that used to start multiple Disney movies. The red enamel detailing means it’ll blend in nicely with the other Snow White beads, if not with the rest of Pandora’s fairytale collection.

Finally, we have a much more cheerful bead with the Seven Dwarfs spacer. This is a adorably fun little design, with the dwarfs’ faces picked out entirely in silver detail. It’s so fun to see Pandora branch out from the princess beads and embrace the quirkier characters within the Disney movies.

Our next movie franchise – Pinocchio! I think I’m right to say that we haven’t see a Pinocchio bead from Pandora before. The When you Wish upon a Star charm is a lovely bead, and a bit more abstract in design – it manages to be characterful and decorative. Beads like this one are a nice way to balance and space out a Disney bracelet, without all the characters making it look too busy.

My favourite of these new Disney charms, however, has to be this adorable Jiminy Cricket charm! So beautifully done – I love pastel enamels, and the umbrella is perfect. There’s not a CZ in sight here, either.

Figaro is another charm that’s proven quite popular in the leaked images, and his black enamel will set off the lighter colour of the Jiminy Cricket umbrella so nicely.  Finally, we have Pinocchio himself in a very detailed all silver design. I wish he had a more substantial bail, but I doubt many people will be looking at that when the charm itself is so thoughtfully delineated.

To finish with, we have some live shots! Stores in the US and Canada often get the collections a little ahead of time, and post some fab live images for us to look at in the meantime.

My Comment

This strikes me as a really strong Disney release – I always prefer it when they focus on characters other than Mickey & Minnie, as important as they are to the brand. As a Pandora collector overall, I relish freshness and new characters, and this collection delivers that in spades. The Snow White beads, while wickedly creative and fun, are not something that I can easily fit in my collection with their bright reds and bold themes – but the sweeter, softer Pinocchio beads do appeal to me on the other hand. I have a pretty pastel blue bracelet that I think the new Jiminy charm would be perfect for – so that’s definitely one I’m considering!

What do you think of this collection? Are you buying anything?

Pandora Disney Summer 2018 collection overview

Today on the blog we have an overview of the Pandora Disney Summer 2018 collection!

Today continues my series of catch-ups, with a look at the Pandora Disney Summer 2018 collection! While we haven’t seen a major Pandora Disney launch since the Spring, there have been a number of new Pandora Disney Parks charms released over the past few weeks. These are found in Disney theme parks locations, but not in regular Pandora stores.

I’m quite a fan of this little mini release, which…

Review: Pandora Crown O in Rose

Today I'm posting my new Pandora Pre-Autumn 2018 review, with an overview of the new Crown 'O' in Rose!

Today brings my next review from the Pandora Pre-Autumn 2018 collection, with a closer look at the new Crown Logo charm! For me, the Crown ‘O’ beads were the key pieces and highlight of the Pre-Autumn 2018 launch. A go-to bead for anyone who’s looking to represent their love of Pandora, the Crowns are also free of the CZ detailing present on most of the other pieces from this collection.

Today’s post brings my monthly Pandora news round-up, with all the details on what’s coming up for August 2018! This month packs a few promos in the run-up to the launch of the Pandora Autumn 2018 collection, and I have some further details on both – and more! 🙂

Going forward, there’s lots of content coming up this month on the blog. I have some more Pandora Autumn 2018 previews to post, some further Pandora Pre-Autumn 2018 reviews, and some catch-ups on releases I missed – the Summer 2018 collection, the Modern LovePods, and the Pandora Disney Summer 2018 beads too!

Pandora Autumn 2018 collection launch

The biggest event on the horizon has to be the launch of the Pandora Autumn 2018 collection, which launches at the end of the month on 30 August! To whet your appetite for the collection, I have a few extra campaign images! One of my favourites is this one, which shows Bruno the Unicorn with the other PANDORA Friends. 🦄🐻�� There are more ‘friends’ coming for the Winter release, too.

I particularly love the stylings that focus on the regal/fairy-tale beads. The campaign arrangements are beautiful!

Finally, I have one more charm to show you from the regular Autumn 2018 collection that I missed off my original preview. This is another 14kt gold option – it’s not a Pandora Shine bead:

I have Pandora Essence Autumn 2018 and Pandora Autumn 2018 jewellery previews coming up to show you, too. I’m still talking to Pandora about whether any kind of Disney preview is going to be possible. 🙂

Spends of $125 CAD will get you a free bracelet of up to $75 CAD value.

In Singapore, the offer below will be running from today until 12 August:

In the UK, the 3-for-2 on charms and bracelets continues until 5 August. 

I have already taken advantage of this offer, and have stocked up on some clips I was after!

The offer is still going on for a few more days, however, and it’s extreeeemely tempting to go back again lol, especially as I now work in the centre of town and walk right past the store each day to get to my car. I just need to remind myself that there are actually these things called bills to pay, and an unimpressed fiancé to confess to 🤔 (I kid, I kid. Mostly.)

Pandora Collegiate beads for the US

Pandora in the US often release engraved charms as an affordable way to cater to more specific demands within their own region – the latest set of exclusive engraved beads are in honour of US colleges. This is not something that I know a lot about, but it is something I’ve seen requested various times during my time blogging, so I hope that you like these, if you’ve been wanting them!

These are all engraved designs, retailing for $65 USD each:

There are live images of these beads from tiedyedeb, who as usual has taken lots of shots of the beads from different angles at her eBay store. Some of them are quite nice enamel designs in their own right, regardless of their college affiliations… I like the orange paw print particularly!

My Comment

In terms of my upcoming month, I will – mostly – be saving for the Autumn launch right at the tail end of it. However, the US bracelet promo is tempting to me as it would be a rather nice little opportunity to indulge in a few of the new Modern LovePods, which haven’t made it out here in the UK.

This is my first news round-up back, and I just wanted to say thank you again for your thoughtful, kind comments on my engagement post. They were wonderful, and I can’t tell you how happy it made me to read through them. I’m still in the process of replying to them all, and doing a few each day puts such a smile on my face! 🙂

To finish off this round-up, I leave you with this picture of Ruby the very naughty Cocker spaniel, which I found while rifling through some old files on my laptop 😅 (I will note that the bag was empty, and that no charms were hurt in the taking of this photo)

What are you excited for this month? Are you planning any purchases?

Pandora Rose Autumn 2018 preview

The previews continue this week with an overview of the Pandora Rose Autumn 2018 collection!

This season’s Rose offering contains more regal themes, some intricate patterning, and delicate pastel shades. Many of the designs complement the main collection, and I’m sure there’ll be a few two-tone designs mixing silver and Rose pieces!
