Pandora at Fabulous- The Latest New Arrivals!

May 8, 2013 at 3:32 pm · Filed under All About Jewellery, New Arrivals!, Pandora ·Tagged , , , ,

The lovely Natalie from our Pandora store gives us the run-down of our newest Pandora additions from this season’s Pandora collection!

Hello fellow Pandora lovers! I hope you’ve been getting out the barbecues and making the most of the sunshine while it lasts! About time eh?

I am excited to announce that more fabulous charms have been released as part of the Spring/Summer 2013 collection! It’s fair to say that the designers at Pandora have most certainly not let us down with their designs as this new range is full of sparkling cubic zirconia, adorable silver designs and beautifully bright murano glass! There’s even a new safety chain that we’re certain you will absolutely love.

791115CZS

 First up are the dazzling new Openwork Pavé Barrel charms, available in pink (791115CZS)  or clear stones (791115CZ). These are perfect for adding a hint of sparkle without going overboard and they can also be used on the new sterling silver earring barrels! The barrels simply hook on to standard Pandora earring hooks but also allow you to add the fabulous pavé charms to create truly astounding earrings. The beautiful pavé barrel charms are only £45 each and will look truly stunning on any bracelet.

If that’s not enough sparkle for you don’t you fear my friends! This new collection also sees the addition of 3 stunning Openwork charms with dazzling circular cubic zirconia stones available in purple (791153ACZ), silver (791153CZ) or pink (791153CZS).  These charms are ideal to add colour and sparkle and would make beautiful centre pieces for your bracelet. 791153ACZ

The final sparkling pavé addition is the Pink Pavé Heart clip (791053CZS).  This charm is similar to the silver pavé heart clip released with the valentines collection, but has beautiful pink cubic zirconia stones for a truly fabulous design!

Moving away from the sparkle, the new murano glass additions are perfect for adding a splash of colour at the bargain price of only £30! With the Spring/Summer 2013 collection Pandora have begun to experiment a lot more with new effects with murano glass to create stunning jewellery for you, and this is evidently present in the gorgeous new Pandora Pink Ribbon charm.

791604The Pink Ribbon design (791604) is woven in and out of itself to create a beautifully intricate design that looks completely different every time. The other new murano charm, although slightly simpler, doesn’t compromise on quality. This stunning charm is a glossy red colour with small and beautifully delicate pink hearts dotted all around  (790948). Both absolutely gorgeous, both very unique.

790948

This small collection also sees the release of two new silver charms. The first is the  adorable Love Kittens charms (791119) which has fabulous detail throughout, particularly with the facial features. At the back of the charm the cats tails join together to create a heart shape. This charm is perfect as a gift for a birthday or anniversary or even just to surprise that special someone at £30.

791088The final silver charm is the Eternal Love sterling silver and hearts safety chain (791088). This has a beautifully simple design with a row of hearts through the centre of each bead and silver chain. This safety chain is £35 and is available in 4cm, 5cm and 6cm. We always recommend that you purchase a safety chain at some point as they provide that extra bit of insurance if the worst should happen to your bracelet.

Finally, Pandora have released an absolutely fabulous pendant within this collection. This is called the Faith, Hope and Love trinity (791120CZS)  and features a sterling silver heart with a pink cubic zirconia stone set within a star design, a sterling silver anchor and a sterling silver cross. This beautiful piece can be worn on either the charm bracelet or the necklace allowing it to be a truly diverse addition to your Pandora collection.

791119As you can see there are some absolutely gorgeous new additions to the Spring/Summer 2013 collection so make sure you pop in-store and check them out! We love them here at Pandora Bath, and we think you will too.

Pandora: The Cherry Blossom Spring Collection

March 27, 2013 at 4:15 pm · Filed under All About Jewellery, New Arrivals!, Pandora, Perfect Presents, Weddings ·Tagged , , , , , ,

Spring is now upon us (despite the freezing cold winds and continuing snow threats…in March), and with it comes the start of our gorgeous new 2013 spring collection!
To start things off, Pandora has created a beautiful arrangement of pieces based around, what is considered, the harbinger of spring, the Cherry blossom!

Cherry Blossom Ring

Cherry Blossom Ring

The collection is made up of 14ct gold, white glass murano and silver pave. A signifier of the growth, development and uniqueness of each Pandora woman. In addition to the charms they have also brought out a range of fabulous cherry blossom rings, earrings and pendants.

Cherry Blossom Ring

The rings in particular are beautiful with the option of the statement ring or if you prefer something a little more subtle, the single cherry blossom ring (which also looks great stacked!)

Another collection is based around romance, where spring goes, romance is sure to follow. With delicate, freshwater cultured pearls reminding us of everlasting bonds and life-long love.

Bride and Groom

Bride and Groom

Including tiaras, bouquets of flowers and a bride and groom charm which I’m sure will be extremely popular around wedding season. We were amazed at the amount of detail in this charm, very impressive!

Frog Prince

Frog Prince

Here at Pandora, Bath our absolute favourite collection is fairy tale. This has been the most popular collection so far and you can see why. The collection includes castles, crowns, a frog with a 14ct gold crown, a fabulous fairy tale book and a beautiful two tone birdcage.

Crown Pendant

Crown Pendant

The bestselling crown charm is now available in a pendant within this collection which is set with 48 flush cubic zirconia’s, it is just fabulous! This collection also brings us more stacking rings which are always popular here at Pandora, they are a perfect way to update your stack or just as beautiful on their own.

Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales

The My Garden collection features cherries, strawberries and a watering can to name but a few, symbolizing the growth of your garden and reminding you that all living things need love. Enamel also features heavily in this collection.

Strawberry Charm

Strawberry Charm

To create the gorgeous enamel charms, the goldsmiths add the enamel paste by hand and then evenly distribute it with a toothpick before placing them in a kiln to set. That’s true attention to detail!

Pandora have also created Local Charms collection, which features scissors and a comb charm, perfect for hairdressers! The UK local charm is the incredibly detailed Scottish Terrier charm which has been a big hit and finally a new elephant charm. Interestingly this elephant has its trunk pointing downwards, said to signify luck in Asia and India.

To order simply call 0845 450 9334 and we can send your charm out to you for free, did we mention that we also do a fabulous free gift wrapping service? Well we do, so just let us know when you call that you’d like it gift wrapped. Or, if you’d like to browse the collection, pop in to one of our fabulous stores in Bath, Leamington Spa or Solihull or visit our Pandora store in Bath.

Mum Heart Charm
£30
Quote code: 27577

This stunning sterling silver heart with ‘Mum’ engraved in a variety of languages. Mother’s Day is celebrated all over the world and therefore it seems fit to represent this on such an iconic symbol as the heart. This charm is a true representation of your love and appreciation and reflects the true spirit of Mother’s Day.

Sterling Silver Family Ties PANDORA charm

Sterling Silver Family Ties PANDORA charm

Family Ties Charm
£35

 Among the sterling silver charms added to this collection is this adorable family charm. Within the 2012 Autumn/Winter collection, Pandora released a similar charm in a combination of sterling silver and 14ct gold. Whilst this was an absolutely stunning piece, we realise that this style is not to everyone’s taste (or budget), so Pandora have designed a full sterling silver charm. With various faces representing different members of your own family and the added detail of oxidisation, this charm is a great gift for Mum from the whole family.

Sterling Silver and Gold Limited Addition PANDORA charm

It  is the perfect gift to show just how much you love and appreciate your Mum, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little bit of gold now and then. Make sure you get in there quick though as once it’s gone, it’s gone!

Spring Fair International 2013 Jewellery Trends

February 19, 2013 at 1:51 pm · Filed under All About Jewellery, New Arrivals!, The fabulous Team, Things we Love ·Tagged , , , , ,

We were pleased to recently attend this year’s Spring Fair, the annual event held at the Birmingham NEC, giving us the opportunity to spend hours viewing new jewellery collections and meeting some fab designers! Here are some of our highlights of the fair and a little insight into the latest jewellery trends…

Trend spot – Colour

The Spring Fair is the best way to see some amazing jewellery and for showcasing this year’s hottest trends, colours, and patterns! What caught my eye from the off was COLOUR! It was everywhere! Many designers have introduced wonderful turquoises, blues and greens to their collections to give a real summery feel! Whilst looking at Missoma’s new collection I noticed a lot of Aqua and Blue Chalcedony, which had organic and stylish shapes to them to create a fresh, light, and easy to wear look which is perfect for a summer holiday!

Ally, Dani & Rhian with Linda Macdonald

Pandora have introduced two new faceted glass murano’s in teal and sea blue, which will go perfectly with a classic bracelet and teamed with a few silver charms in between! The great thing about beautiful shades of blue and green is that they compliment all colours, so whether you’re a gold or silver kinda gal, you can include these new shades into your current collections.

Animal trends in jewellery, and in particular the elephant, is still a strong theme. The elephant is a symbol for strength, and Daisy continues to feature this in their Karma collection as well as the new Halo collection, & features in Blossom Copenhagen’s classic and feminine designs & Missoma’s Ark collection.

I also got the chance to have a chat with many of our fabulous designers, including Missoma’s Marissa and Linda from Linda MacDonald (and get a quick photo with her..!)

Trend Spot – Charm bracelets

I was very much looking forward to seeing what this year’s Spring Fair had to offer, and it was apparent that charm bracelets are still as popular as ever across all collections this year, with each designer taking this popular concept and adding their own twist.

I spotted a lovely wrap bracelet as I admired the many collections  that could also be worn as a necklace, with a choice of interchangeable charms and gem drops for a real versatile look. Trollbeads continue to do an excellent selection of glass beads in every colour you can think of, an important aspect for this designer which others may lack. I also looked at Chamilia’s collection, a brand not stocked at fabulous but well known for its charm bracelet. This collection could appeal to younger generations as unlike similar designers, Chamilia are licensed to carry Disney themed charms, however I think they lack the desire and appeal that other charm bracelet brands carry off so well.  Nomination still stand alone with their unique take on the classic charm bracelet. Made from Stainless Steel, Nomination charms are linked together using a spring system to create a band of charms. This unique design sees Nomination stand out as a designer and has long been a best selling collection here at fabulous!

But despite the competition, Pandora is still one of the most popular designers when it comes to charm bracelets, and I am a huge fan as I believe the quality and style is second to none. I have now had my bracelet for 3 years and I still get excited when they bring out new charms! I was lucky enough to see their newest collection and I have to say that it is the most commercial collection to date! I for one am very excited about the new charms and jewellery pieces and have already decided what I will be adding to my growing collection! In my opinion Pandora are just as fabulous as ever and at the top of charm bracelet designs!

Trend Spot– Interchangeable pendants

The next big thing to hit the jewellery industry? Interchangeable pendants! Walking around the Spring Fair it was clear that the new craze is this inspiring design that allows you to easily change the look of your necklace and was the key focus in design in a huge number of collections.

One designer that we all loved and who we think has taken the concept of interchangeable pendants and produced it just perfectly is Nikki Lissoni – a new name for fabulous and a collection we are eagerly awaiting to arrive in store!

The great thing about this collection is that you can change the coin inside the pendant to suit your mood or style, letting your personality shine! Nikki Lissoni’s range allows you to choose from a collection of chains in many different styles and lengths. You then need to choose a carrier which comes in 3 different sizes depending on whether you like big jewellery or prefer something a little smaller. All of the chains and carriers come in sterling silver, gold plating and rose gold plating. With the composable option you can choose whether you want your necklace completely silver or whether you want to mix it up a little!

After falling in love with this design I am already the proud owner of a Nikki Lissoni necklace – personally I love the combination of silver and rose gold so I chose the silver necklace with a rose gold carrier – giving myself the option to wear either silver or rose gold coins. I absolutely LOVE my Nikki Lissoni necklace and I know you will too! Watch this space….!

Valentine’s Day: How to choose jewellery for your loved one

February 1, 2013 at 9:45 am · Filed under All About Jewellery, Perfect Presents ·Tagged , , , , , ,

Jo Stroud, owner of fabulous

Jo Stroud, owner of fabulous

Valentine’s Day is on the horizon (14th February, gents) so we thought we’d speak to someone in the know about choosing jewellery – our very own Jo Stroud, owner of fabulous. Picking a Valentine’s present for that special someone in your life doesn’t need to be stressful, it should be an enjoyable experience, so we spoke to Jo to get some top tips when it comes to buying something extra special for your better half.

Where do I start?
Does your wife or girlfriend wear jewellery every day, or only for special occasions? Decide whether you want to get her something really special, or something she can wear every day to remind her of you.

Take the hint…
Listen out for hints, or go shopping together, pop into fabulous and see which designers she hovers around! Also, does she already have a charm bracelet – maybe Pandora, Nomination, Thomas Sabo or Trollbeads – or a favourite piece of jewellery? If she does, then let us know, we’ll be able to suggest additions to these pieces.

Steal…well, borrow
If there’s something she loves and keeps for very special occasions, bring it in. Any of our in-store team will be able to suggest other designers that share a similar look. Or if she has a favourite outfit, take a sneaky pic of it on your phone and bring that in – we can match something to it.

Sizing
Rings can seem like the hardest item to get right, but it’s easy to get the right size. Simply slip one of her rings on your finger and note where it reaches. If you think you’ll forget, mark it with a pen! This will make it easy to pick the right ring size when you come into store.

Colour
Pay attention to the colours she wears – is her existing jewellery typically Silver or Gold? Or maybe Rose Gold, which is very fashionable right now? Are there any colours of clothes she wears more often? Or maybe a favourite handbag? Her hair colour, skin tone and outfits will all help us choose great jewellery to suit her, so show us a picture of her.

Be romantic…
Come armed with special dates, her favourite flower, the best holiday you’ve ever had, special people in her life. This will help us select initials, colours or items that will remind her of this special time. Think of how long you’ve been together too, or where you met, all perfect things to add that special sentiment to your present.

So come on guys, it’s really not that hard! We’re all here to help, in-store and on-line. Or if you want some friendly advice over the phone, give our web team a call on 0845 4509334 and we can point out some things on our website that she might like.

Looking for some inspiration? Head to our Valentine’s Day page for some ideas!

Make Valentine’s Day fabulous!

For a meaningful and personal gift for a birthday this month, you can’t go wrong with Thomas Sabo’s ready to wear birthstone bracelet! The official birthstone for February is Amethyst, a sabobeautiful gemstone of purple shades. With its royal hues, the Amethyst is often known as the ‘Bishop’s Stone’ and it is believed that wearing this stone will bring wisdom, knowledge and spiritual guidance to increase positive energy! Thomas Sabo’s Amethyst coloured cubic zirconia is set in Sterling Silver and hangs from a Freshwater Pearl Bracelet complete with a love knot for an adjustable fit. This bracelet can also fit two other charms, so charms can be added later on or if you are feeling really generous then go for three charms together! Spinning, Nomination and Pandora also feature the Amethyst stone in their collections, as well as Zodiac signs for all the February babies with the sign Pisces or Aquarius!

新年快樂 (Happy New Year)

January 28, 2013 at 1:34 pm · Filed under All About Jewellery ·Tagged , , , ,

Before you question the sanity of the writer, I know that New Year was almost a month ago now (scary!) and I am of course referring to the upcoming celebrations for Chinese New Year, a great and honoured tradition across Asia.

On February 10th 2013, bright and exciting festivals and carnivals will be taking place across China to celebrate what is also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. As this is such a world famous tradition Pandora have created these beautiful Chinese Zodiac Charms.

Pandora Bath now stock these gorgeous Sterling Silver dangly charms for just £35. Even if you aren’t a follower of the Chinese New Year celebrations, (or don’t really know what it’s about) have no fear! Each adorable animal can be easily identifiable as one of your own adored pets or favourite animals, there’s even a dragon in there for those in love with fantasy creatures.

Obviously, we realise that not everyone knows what each animal represents from the Chinese zodiac so here’s a little bit of help for you, along with the birth dates for each symbol.

Happy New Year to you all from everyone at Pandora Bath!

January 17, 2013 at 5:12 pm · Filed under All About Jewellery ·Tagged , , , , , , ,

We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas, and if you were lucky enough to get a gorgeous Pandora charm bracelet and that you’re looking forward to creating a fabulous and truly individual piece of jewellery. Here at Pandora, Bath, we had a great time helping you find the perfect Christmas present for that special someone. And to all those slightly bemused (yes gentlemen we do mean you) by the bright lights and dazzling array of charms and gift ideas we salute your dedication to finding a gift that shows you really care.

A gift from the heart

We had some adorable additions to our vastly growing charm collections this Christmas, with many proving to be extremely popular. The charming dangly enamel Gingerbread Man was a particular favourite with some of the more prepared Christmas shoppers. Apologies to those who missed out on this one, it appears even Pandora weren’t prepared for their increasing demand. The new sterling silver stocking also seemed to be very popular with the intricate detail attracting a wide variety of customers. Along with the great value price of £25 this was described as ‘the perfect stocking filler’ (please excuse the pun) by our shoppers.

Heart charms

Finally, for those looking for a bit of sparkle and glamour this Christmas, the new cubic zirconia Pavé charms provided the perfect amount of bling for your bracelet. With Pandora celebrating its 30th anniversary this Christmas topped off what was already a fantastic year.

Pandora Bath opened its doors to the public at the end of August this year and we couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve had, with both new and regular faces popping in to see what’s on offer. So thank you to everyone who’s visited us so far and please tell your friends about us as we would love to introduce some new faces to the wonderful world of Pandora.

But now January is upon us, along with waking up when it’s still dark and trudging back to the office as the weather struggles to decide what to do with itself (although if we’re honest, we wouldn’t mind a bit of snow!). However, Pandora Bath is still going with its January Sale and with up to 40% off it’s the perfect time to treat yourself. But it won’t be on for much longer so pop in and grab a bargain.

If you’ve had enough of the sales and the January blues are slowly creeping in do not fret Pandora lovers, as the new 2013 valentines stock has just arrived! And I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Even some of our staff are eager to get their hands on the gorgeous new loved up pieces!

Turtle Doves Pandora

Emma (Supervisor) loves the new dangly pavé heart charms, whilst Jodie (Full-Time) cannot wait to add the turtle-doves charm to her bracelet. This seems to be a favourite among most of the Pandora Bath staff. As do the new elegant drop heart earrings in a sparkling sterling silver. Keep an eye out for your favourite additions ladies (and gents of course) and start placing those ‘subtle’ hints, as always, here in the Bath store we’re happy to help with any questions and hopefully we can help some of you find the perfect valentines gift.

Valentine's bracelet from Pandora

The new Mother’s Day charms will also soon be making an appearance in our store so I’m sure you cannot wait to show your Mum’s just how much you love and appreciate them.

But for now, I’ll leave you with thoughts of sparkling hearts and gorgeous gold. Stay glued to the blog as our members of staff will update with their own Pandora favourites as well as what they plan to add to their ever growing collections. You may even find some inspiration for your own Pandora jewellery!

Happy New Year!

December 28, 2012 at 2:09 pm · Filed under All About Jewellery, It's all about Fashion!, Jo Stroud, Perfect Presents, Things we Love, Watches ·Tagged , , , , , ,

2012 has come to an end, and we’ve had a brilliant year at fabulous!
Jo Stroud, owner of Fabulous, was selected as one of the ‘Hot 100’ in the jewellery industry; our Bath store moved to be bigger and better, whilst we opened a new Pandora concept store alongside it; the year saw many new arrivals to the fabulous team in all our stores and on the web team, and new designers joined our collections such as Diamonfire & Pure Attraction, including an ever growing collection of watches, with new designers such as Lulu Guinness & Glamrock!

Now we look forward to 2013, a new year for more diverse and vibrant collections, new celebrations, and of course new year resolutions (which we will keep this time!). Keep up to date with all that is happening at fabulous by following us on twitter and facebook, and keep checking our blog for the latest trends, events and the know on the best collections throughout the year!

Let us begin the new year with a guide for all things fabulous for January and the best designer pieces to add to your collection or to give as a special gift for a celebration this month.

SALE

We currently have up to 70% off designer pieces making this the best time to add to your collection or someone else’s! Get online for some fantastic discounts on designers such as Lola Rose, Chan Luu, Alex Munroe and more. For all those Chlobo fans out there, we currently have 50% off selected pieces, including the fun Ice Pop collection! We also have something for our male customers, with 25% of Toy watches and 50% off bracelets and cufflinks from designers such as Fred Bennett!

Birthstones & Zodiac signs

The official birthstone for January is the beautiful Garnet, a semi-Thomas Saboprecious stone also known as the “Pomegranate Stone” due to its deep red colour and resemblance to the fruit. The Garnet signifies loyalty and friendship whilst it gives the wearer commitment and truth. Thomas Sabo’s deep red garnet charm is the perfect charm for all those fiery personalities, which would look stunning hanging from Thomas Sabo’s Black Obsidian Bracelet!

Those born between December 22nd – January 19th have the zodiac sign Capricorn, whilst those born between January 20th – February 18th have the zodiac sign Aquarius. Team a birthstone charm with a zodiac charm in collections from Nomination, Thomas Sabo or Pandora for a personal and unique accessory! Thomas Sabo’s charm bracelets can hold up to three charms, whilst with Nomination and Pandora, you can mix them in with as many as you like!

Ideal for special birthdays or occasions are initial charms and bracelets, featured in collections from Trollbeads, Nomination and Daisy. Another favourite is Trollbeads Little Silver Scroll bead which gives you 10 characters x 10 lines to compose a personal message for someone special, or to mark an occasion!

Romance

For a romantic touch, look no further than Linda Macdonald or Sphere of Life who feature delicate collections of necklaces. The beautiful Scribbles necklace from Linda features 9ct Gold, whilst Sphere’s Unity necklace signifies that “we are inseparable”.

New year, new wardrobe

Up date your look and sparkle at every occasion with a beautiful set! For something eye catching, choose a sparkling Tresor Paris bracelet and earrings, whilst for a subtle edge, Fiorelli and John Rocha ooze sophistication in Sterling Silver. For some glamour at work, accessorise with a brand new watch from Radley or Glam Rock and set the trend!
