Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and love is in the air! The new Pandora Valentine’s Day collection has arrived and features a fun mix of new colors, textures, and innovations. This year’s collection has some unique new focuses- the path to love, asymmetric hearts, cupid and his arrow, and being LOVED. Read on for our review of all the new products!
Charmed Love
The charms in this year’s Pandora Valentine’s Day Collection really stand out in bright two-tone silver and Pandora Shine, soft pinks, and fuchsias.
For Pandora Rose lovers, there is a beautiful new light pink enamel and Pandora Rose two-tone charm that really stands out. We also love the new Loved Heart clip for two-tone silver and Pandora Rose bracelets! If you are enamored of the new Pandora Shine finish, you are in luck as well! Both the LOVED and cupid themed charms are accented with the bright gold of Pandora Shine. We particularly love the Arrow of Cupid Shine charm- it looks great on the choker!
Path to Love Pandora Rose charm ($60) and Loved Heart clips ($45 each)
Cupid & You ($65) and Arrow of Cupid ($55) charms
We also love the new whimsical Love Dice and Love Notes charms. Letting the bright sterling silver take center stage, they are a great choice for the collector who wants just a touch of color on their bracelet.

In addition to this year’s fantastic charm selections, there are are some exciting new jewelry pieces. We love the new Sparkling Arrow collection- especially that amazing ring!

This year’s Pandora Valentine’s Day collection also introduces the 2019 Club Charm and a new Pandora Friend. The club charm is the first two-tone silver and Pandora Rose addition to the club collection. Shaped like a treasure chest, it opens to reveal the message “Be Yourself.” As always, the club charm has a 0.1ct diamond.

We’ve made it easy this year with our top ten picks to bring the love this Valentine’s Day. Flowers wilt within the week and chocolate gets eaten as soon as it is opened, but jewelry will let your love sparkle on all year long!
Compass Rose- Let Love Guide the Way
We love our beautiful Compass Rose necklaces and bracelets. Not only are they elegant, but they have a lovely meaning as well. Keep the sentiment that “Life brings us to unexpected places. Love brings us home” or choose one of our custom cards tailored to different relationships and occasions. We are particularly fond of the new two-tone necklace with rose gold for the romantic-at-heart.
Compass Rose Necklace- Sterling Silver and 14k Rose Gold- $145
Pandora Bracelets- Charm Her
Pandora is a classic choice for a memorable and meaningful gift. Not only is it alluring, the thought that goes into choosing a charm makes it a personal experience. We love some of the new bracelet styles that have been introduced in the past year. Not only are they a great way to start a Pandora bracelet for someone who is new to the charm world, they are a wonderful way to give life to an old collection of charms. The new open bangle has become one of our best-selling bracelets, and for good reason. Not only is it easy to take on and off, but it comes with spacers to keep your charms in place and fits more naturally to your wrist than a round bracelet. The new heart lock bracelet is also a stunning addition to the collection.
Love Locks Earrings ($45), Lock Your Promise Bracelet ($75), Open Bangle ($75), Shape of Love Charm (Center, $55), Key to My Heart Charm/Pendant ($75) on chain ($30)
The great thing about the curated collections that are released for Valentine’s Day is that they are designed around a common theme. This makes it easy to add some beautiful jewelry pieces that coordinate with the charms to make a well-rounded gift! We love the “Love Locks” pieces from this years collection. The “You & Me” ring is also a sweet piece for a young girl.
You & Me Ring ($45)
Sorrelli Jewelry- Sparkle Your Way Into Her Heart
Does your girl love to sparkle? Sorrelli Jewelry will help her shine! Crafted with Swarovski crystals, this locally designed jewelry line (from Kutztown, PA!) makes both statement pieces and everyday gems to help your special someone get her glitter on. Even better- until Valentine’s Day, purchases in Sorrelli Jewelry of $100 or more will receive a beautiful pair of blush stud earrings for free!
Twinkling Thistle Necklace ($120), One and Only Earrings ($30 retail, free with $100 purchase)
Stacking Bracelets- Create a One-of-a-Kind Collection
Does your special someone celebrate every day with her own arm party of stacking bracelets? Let us help you create a coordinated stack to express your love and fit into her personal style and personality!
Our Thortiuda pendants are a staff favorite- they are one of the pieces of jewelry we get the most compliments on! Classic in style but unique enough to stand out in a crowd, these necklaces open to allow the chime inside to be interchanged for different colors. Named for the Thai word for angel, the necklace is designed from traditional necklaces meant to call your guardian angel. Each colored chime has a different meaning- choose one that best captures your sentiment for the season!
Large Rose Gold Plated Sterling Pendant w/CZ Accents ($249), Medium Rhodium Plated Sterling Pendant ($109), Small Angel Wing ($69)
Pandora Rose- For the Romantic
The vintage color of rose gold is popular with the bohemian and romantic personalities alike. Pandora Rose, a proprietary metal blend that combines sterling silver and copper, gives the beautiful hue of rose gold without the price of a solid rose gold piece. This year’s Valentine’s Day collection has some fun new additions in the Pandora Rose. We love the typography-inspired “I Love You” dangle charm. Combining both silver and the Pandora Rose, it is a great way to start on a two-tone bracelet!
Black Leather Double Wrap Bracelet ($50), I Love You Rose Charm ($65), Rose Tumbling Hearts Charm ($80)
WinterLemon- You are my Sun, My Moon, and All My Stars
We love the celestial pieces in our locally-made WinterLemon jewelry, which are handmade from precious metals and genuine gemstones. We think they are a stylish way to express the heavenly nature of love. Not only do they let you show your love for your special someone, they let you show your love for you community as well be supporting a local artist!
Black Spinel Oxidized Sterling Moravian Star Necklace ($148), Oxidized Sterling Starburst Pendant w/Diamonds on Vermeil Rose Gold Chain ($225)
Diamonds Are Always a Good Idea
Elizabeth Taylor once said “Big girls need big diamonds”- and for good reason! A girl may have dreams of silver and CZs, but give a woman a diamond! One of the strongest materials on earth, diamond jewelry is an investment piece made to last. Unlike silver fashion jewelry which is not meant for everyday use and will not stand the test of time, giving a gift of gold and precious gemstones means giving a gift that can be worn for decades with the same sparkle.
White Gold and 0.10.ctw Diamond Infinity Necklace ($385), Yellow Gold and 0.30ctw Diamond Heart Necklace ($699), White Gold and 0.03ctw Diamond Heart Necklace ($245), White Gold Pave 0.14ctw Diamond Stud Earrings ($425), White Gold 0.07ctw Diamond Claddagh Ring ($575)
Alex and Ani- A Gift for the Gals
Celebrating Galentine’s Day with your girlfriends? Drop them a sweet treat with one of Alex and Ani’s new Valentine’s Day bangles! We love the new “Mon Amie” bangle as a way of celebrating friendship- it translates to “My Friend” from French. Add a sparkling Swarovski bangle or one of the new beaded pieces in the shiny rose finish for an extra touch of sparkle!
Does your special someone always tell you that one of her favorite things about you is your sense of humor? Check out some of our fun tongue-in-cheek gifts from upstairs in Haven! Does she always have an overflowing armful of things as she heads out the door to work or school? Get her one of our Chase & Wonder “Foxy Lady” totes!
Foxy Lady Screenprinted Tote ($30)
Is one of your favorite times of the day the early morning when you sit side-by-side reaching optimal levels of caffeine together? Get a matching set of His and Hers coffee mugs. Fill them with some chocolates or a gift card to her favorite coffee place to add an extra treat!
Dashing Gent ($18) and Flower Lady ($18) Fine China Mugs

Get ready to get romantic- the Pandora Valentine’s Day mini-collection is here! This year’s new additions include some classic styles mixed in with some colorful new additions with a whimsical style. The new collection includes pieces in every category, including a new bracelet concept. Check out our review below!
Charms
The centerpiece of Pandora’s Valentine’s Day collection is a selection of new charms in wide-ranging styles. The main focuses of this year’s campaign include a beautiful lock and key motif, the encouragement to “kiss more” with kiss themed pieces, and saturated color in bright fuchsia and salmon-pink.
The first group of charms are bursting with color. Many of the enamel charms have an ombre effect with graduating color from the edges to the sides. We particularly love the new Shape of Love charm, which features a faceted rose crystal. Included in this grouping is the new innovative spacer shaped like a heart, a new standard clip, and a new silicone grip clip.
Explosion of Love ($80), Burst of Love ($50), Two Hearts Spacer ($30), Shape of Love ($55), Burst of Love Clip ($40), Explosion of Love Clip ($40)
The next grouping is a whimsical interpretation of the idea that we should “Kiss More.” We love the details in the emoji style Kiss charm- it has glitter cerise enamel on the lips and hearts along the edge. The lips charm is a limited selection at the moment.
Kiss ($45), Lips ($75), Love & Kisses ($35), Kisses all Around ($55)
The last grouping appeals to the more classic style, with touches of gold accenting bright silver. Light pink cubic zirconia give a touch of romantic color. The lock and key symbols and the “You & Me” sentiment are used frequently throughout the Valentine’s collection- we really like the new key dangle charm with gold lock. There is also a new heart lock-shaped clip that makes a great statement as a bangle centerpiece.
Two Hearts ($75), Two Hearts w/Clear CZ ($55), Talk About Love ($35), Lock Your Promise ($65), I Love You ($50), Tree of Love ($50), Key to My Heart ($75)
There are also a few new additions in rose. The Pandora Rose pieces in this collection are accented with a synthetic ruby. We like the mixture of the Pandora Rose and silver letters in the Rose interpretation of the I Love You charm- it is a great way to tie together a mixed metal charm collection.
Two Hearts Rose Spacer ($40), I Love You Rose ($65)
There is one addition to the Essence collection- a beautiful fuchsia faceted crystal charm that mirrors the Shape of Love charm in the Moments collection. The meaning behind this charm is Love- the perfect sentiment for the season.
Love Essence Charm ($50)
Bracelets
One of the most exciting parts of the new Pandora Valentine’s Day collection is the addition of a new bracelet concept. The Lock Your Promise bracelet features a new removable lock closure. We are looking forward to seeing what other similar clasps are going to become available for this concept!
Explosion of Love Bracelet ($90), Lock Your Promise Bracelet ($75)
The Explosion of Love bracelet carries forward the bolo-style bracelet design. We like this design because it allows the wearer to adjust the size to what is comfortable to them. This sweet design has small pink CZ hearts studding the smooth silver cuff.
Necklaces
One of our favorite new pieces in this collection is the key-shaped Memory Locket! Fitting 2-3 petite charms, this locket has beautiful details and a classic shape similar to the Tiffany keys collection.
There is also a lock necklace with a similar concept to the Lock Your Promise bracelet. We love the details on the Tree of Love necklace, where two colorful enamel hearts are nestled within the tree’s branches.
Lock Your Promise Necklace ($100), I Love You Necklace ($75), Tree of Love Necklace ($90), Floating Locket Heart Key ($140)
To accompany the new key locket, there are four new Petite charms. We love the lock and key together as a pair!
Kiss Petite ($10), Heart Key Petite ($10), Love Lock Petite ($10), Love Kiss Rose Petite ($15)
Earrings
Pandora continues to be very innovative in their earring designs. We love seeing all of the new concepts that are being released and how we can customize them using the pieces we have at home! The new Two Hearts Hoops use a stud earring at the front of the ear that fits into the hoop in the back. Use some of your other Pandora studs to change the look of the earring!
Pure Love Earrings ($65), Love Locks ($45), Two Hearts Earrings ($90)
We also adore the sweet Love Locks studs. With the short dangle of the heart lock, they offer a little more than the traditional small stud.
Rings
On to one of our favorite categories- rings! There are only a few additions to the rings in this year’s collection, but they are beautiful. The open-style Two Hearts rings are great for stacking without feeling too heavy.
Two Hearts Rose ($60), Two Hearts ($45), You & Me ($45), Love Lock ($45)
The You & Me ring features a heart-shaped dome cut stone that has a beautiful depth. The side of the ring is engraved “You & Me”, adding another meaningful layer.
Gift Sets
As always, Pandora has released some great value sets for the holiday. This year the sets come with some fun extras!
The Kiss Me bangle gift set includes a Pandora sterling bangle engraved with “Kiss Me” in dark red enamel, the Kiss emoji charm, and a pair of Sparkling Elegance earrings- all packaged in a light pink Limited Edition box. Even better- the set comes with a light pink Limited Edition makeup bag loaded with hearts. This set offers a savings of $56 from the price of the items purchased separately.

The classic Valentine’s Day gift features hearts- and lots of them. A symbol of love and affection, the heart design is the centerpiece of many Valentine’s Day collections.
One of our favorite new Valentine’s Day collections this year comes from Pandora. The Limited Edition gift sets available for the holiday are always a special selection, and this year’s additions offer beautiful curated sets, a stunning presentation, and a great price.
For those looking to start a Pandora bracelet or add a new bracelet to an existing collection, the Open Hearts bracelet gift set is a great gift idea. This set comes with a silver Pandora bracelet with sparkling heart clasp, two heart-adorned clips, and the new Encased in Love charm. The Encased in Love charm has a faceted cerise pink bead surrounded by an openwork silver heart motif- it is one of our favorite new charms! With its red leather heart-shaped Pandora travel case, this is truly a beautiful way to deliver a gorgeous gift.
Open Hearts Gift Set- $195
Encased in Love Charm, $65
If you are looking to add a special charm to a growing Pandora collection, the Lovestruck charm is a great choice. Not only is it a limited edition selection that will only be available for a short time, but it has a great combination of bright enamel, lustrous silver, and a touch of sparkle. This charm is also presented in a red leather box, making it stand out from other selections.
Love Struck Limited Edition Charm- $65
For those looking to warm up their Pandora collection with a little gold, the new Love You Forever and Love Script charms are must-haves. We love these new designs, which are accented with clear CZs and a touch of 14K gold. Really want to make a statement? Pair some two-tone charms with the new sparkling 14K clasp bracelet!
Pandora Signature Bracelet with Clear CZ & 14K gold, $100, Feathered Clips, $35 each, Love Script, $75, Love You Forever, $75, Locked Hearts, $90
Another brand that has a heavy focus on heart designs is Brighton Collectibles. The heart is represented as their signature logo. Just as love takes many forms, so do the hearts in Brighton’s collections. Some look like hand-crafted masterworks, some are lacy and modern, and still others are studded with Swarovski crystals.
Alcazar Heart Stud Earrings, $22
Contempo Heart Necklace, $50
Queen of Waters Convertible Heart Necklace, $158
What makes buying Brighton even better at this time of year? Until February 10th, you get a free Sweetheart tote when you spend $100 or more!
Alex and Ani has added an extensive new Valentine’s Day collection this year as well. We love the Alive with Love Gift Set to stun your sweetheart. This five bracelet set, available in the Rafaelian Silver and Rafaelian Gold finishes, includes three pink beaded bracelets, the newly designed Love bangle, and a crystal heart bangle only available for a limited time in this set!
Alive with Love Set of Five, $128
In the single bangle options, Alex and Ani has also redesigned the Cupid’s Heart bangle. This new design has a more three-dimensional feel and features cupid’s bow in the heart. The new Product(RED) Heart of Strength Charity By Design bangle is also a statement-making Valentine’s Day piece. Featuring a bold red crystal, this bangle provides 20% of the purchase price to the Global Fund to fight AIDS.
Cupid’s Heart, $28, and Product(RED) Charity By Design Heart, $38
Everything’s Coming Up Rose Gold
Does your sweetheart love the Valentine’s Day season but doesn’t want to be showered with hearts? Rose gold is a great choice for a gift that catches the feeling of the season without being overtly Valentine’s Day themed. Not only is the soft pink tone romantic, but it has become the popular choice for everybody’s new favorite metal.
For those just starting to collect rose gold pieces, we like pieces that combine a rose gold finish with silver and sparkling stones. Ti Sento Milano makes some beautiful rose gold accented pieces that use this trendy metal in a classic style, making them instant favorites.
Ti Sento Milano Rose Gold Plated Sterling Necklace, $149
Rose Gold Plated Sterling Stud Earrings, $129
Ti Sento Milano Rose Gold Accented Ring, $99, and Necklace, $169
Freida Rothman Jewelry also features rose gold in some of their stacking bangles. Set with sparkling CZs, these pieces look great paired with some of her sterling and oxidized sterling bangles.
For a more delicate look that still packs some serious sparkle, Officina Bernardi has a lot of rose-gold finished pieces. With their patented cut, this sterling silver jewelry reflects light like it is studded with stones. They offer a wide range of necklace lengths, making them ideal for layering.
Officina Bernardi Necklaces and Bracelets, starting at $35
Officina Bernardi’s elegant sparkling bracelets that look gorgeous by themselves or stacked for some added drama.
Rose Gold and Black Rhodium Plated Bracelets, starting at $35
If your sweetheart is an Alex and Ani enthusiast, there is a lot to be excited about on the rose gold front with this year’s Valentine’s Day collection. The stand-out piece in our minds is the Because I Love You set of three in the shiny rose gold finish. Alex and Ani has also released some Limited Edition single bangles as part of this collection. We love the sweet Frog Prince and Romero Britto XO Bangle in the shiny rose finish. Pair them with one of the Limited Edition shiny rose finish beaded bangles for a set that is sure to stun!
Because I Love You Limited Edition Set of Three, $98, Frog Prince, $38, XO, $28
Tender Moments
Valentine’s Day may have the reputation of being flashy and full of grand gestures, but the celebration of love is often appreciating the moments spent together as a couple and as a family. A great way to commemorate these moments are pieces that symbolize family bonds and the many positive things that she brings to the world.
Waxing Poetic charms are a great way to personalize a jewelry gift with sentiments, symbols representing children or other loved ones, and other inspirations. The newly released 2017 charms include some meaningful new virtues in the Word Play collection.
Word Play Breathe and Forever charms, $48, Found Again Cross Pendant, $55, Alchemy Bangle, $99
The new Aim True arrow is also a great choice for Valentine’s Day. Whether it symbolizes cupid’s arrow or other ambitions, this charm is meant to inspire you to aim high, far, dear, and true.
Aim True charm, $37, Found Again Heart, $55, Love Word Play, $48, on Ensemble Terra bracelet, $66
With a versatile selection of sizes, metals, and styles, Waxing Poetic makes it easy to create a one-of-a-kind piece that captures the heart of a person. We like using different sized medallions with some three dimensional shapes to add variety. Mix initials, birthstones, and an inspirational sentiment to curate a heartfelt collection!
Tiny Lights Charm, $26, Tree of Life, $57, Blessed Sweet Missive, $33, Renewable Love, $165, Chancery Insignia Initial, $44, Bundled by Love Nest, $77
Another way to celebrate what makes the person you love unique is the Pandora Essence collection. Unlike the traditional Pandora charms, which celebrate the moments of one’s life, the Essence collection celebrates various virtues within a person. With virtues such as dedication, generosity and passion, this is a great way to honor the things you love about her. These beads will stay in place on the Essence bracelet and resemble natural stones and sparkling beads, making it look less like a traditional charm bracelet.
In addition to the flexible sterling bracelet, the Essence collection offers a thin wire bangle (great for stacking!) and a silver necklace. We think 45cm necklace looks elegant as a delicate statement with a single charm. A set of silver charms with additional interchangeable charms for a pop of color is also a great option that offers her some versatility!
Pandora Essence sterling bangle, $60, Compassion, $65, and Friendship, $50
Another way to pay tribute to your personal love story is to honor the place where you have shared important moments. For those local to Bethlehem, we love the latitude and longitude cuff bracelets and bar necklaces we have had custom made for us from Lat & Lo. The pieces have the coordinates of our hometown with the Star of Bethlehem inscribed with our city name on the back.
Lat & Lo Bethlehem Coordinate Jewelry, Necklace, $64, and Cuff, $89

Framed Photo, Brethren’s House Window, $35 framed, $12 unframed
The Classics
You can’t go wrong with the classics. With clean lines and a touch of sparkle, these pieces will never go out of style. For the lady who wants a signature item that can be worn on any occasion, a classic piece is a great investment.
One of our favorite jewelry makers that offer a classic look is Gabriel and Company. Known best for their fine jewelry and stunning engagement rings, their sterling silver fashion line brings the same attention to detail and quality. Accented with natural stones and small diamonds, these pieces can be worn with a sweater and jeans or dressed up with a little black dress.
Gabriel and Company Sterling and Diamond Necklace, $298, and Earrings, $170
Silver Souviens Drop Earrings with Diamonds, Black Mother of Pearl, $250
Gabriel and Company Silver Ring with White Sapphires, $315
For those looking for something original and meaningful to wear every day, we love POP Diamond Jewelry. This 0.10 carat diamond on a colored cord gives a touch of luxury to our everyday lives. Inspired by protective eye bracelets, POP stands for Power of Protection. In many cultures, a cord is worn on the wrist after being earned through charitable deeds. Keeping with this tradition, POP donates a portion of proceeds from the sale of their bracelet to charitable causes. Looking good and doing good at the same time- it doesn’t get better than that!
POP Diamond Jewelry Bracelets – $250 – $270
POP Diamond Bracelets, $250 sterling, $270 rose gold or gold plated sterling
Our last pick for the traditional girl is a tried and true Valentine’s Day classic- a piece of fine jewelry! If you are looking for a true classic piece of jewelry, gold and white gold jewelry set with gemstones present a gift that will last through a lifetime. For the girl who is loyal to a few pieces of jewelry instead of changing with the many trends, a good piece of jewelry is a great investment. Unlike sterling silver, which is a soft metal not durable enough for daily wear through many years, gold jewelry will become an heirloom piece because it is made to last.
When choosing a fine jewelry piece, we love simple styles with a touch of sparkle. A tried and true shape, such as a starburst or a circle, and clear stones will remain classics and survive the changing fashions.
Jordan Scott White Sapphire Necklace, $520, and Earrings, $890
Diamond and White Gold Bar Necklace, $618, Starburst Necklace, $610, Key Necklace $525, and Circle Necklace, $528
Turn Up the Romance
Are you looking for a gift for the girl who lives for a good love story? Does she sigh at the sight of hearts and get teary-eyed when thinking about the movie The Notebook? It’s time to turn up the romance!
An iconic symbol of romance is the city of Paris. Bring the City of Love home with our vintage French photos. Le Baiser, or “The Kiss”, reminds us of an old black and white romantic movie.
Vintage French Photos, $15
Another great romantic find is our WinterLemon jewelry. Locally handmade, they have some gorgeous pieces that use natural stones, pearls, and vintage pieces. We love these necklaces that feature antique lockets- they are truly one-of-a-kind!
WinterLemon Necklaces with Vintage Pieces, $110
For a more delicate look, Ila and I lockets also evoke a sense of romance. These petite white gold pieces are perfect to keep safe precious memories. Their antique styling and elegant profile make them great bridal gifts as well!
Ila and I Lockets
Trendsetter
The trendsetter likes to be on the cutting edge of fashion and loves a piece that stands out from the rest of the crowd. This means thinking outside the box when it comes to traditional textures, metals, and styles to find something unique.
We think Julie Vos is a great start for a trendsetter who wants to push the edges of classic but doesn’t want to commit to a piece that might go quickly out of style. Julie Vos jewelry is finished with 24K gold over for a bright, warm finish that is more exciting than a traditional silver. Their innovative use of natural stones and inspiration from nature and classical architecture make them stand out in a crowd.
We love the Milano 6-stone bangles stacked with different stones- grab a few neutrals then add a pop of color! These bangles also look great stacked with some of the thin textured gold bangles or a wider piece accented with similar stones.
Julie Vos 6-stone Milano Bangles, $85 each
6-stone Milano Bangles, $75-125, Botticelli Bangle, $225, Siena Bangles, $54, Bleeker Bangle, $40
Julie Vos’ long, layering necklaces have been heavily featured in the fashion blogs, especially the Coin Pendant.
Julie Vos Long Layering Necklaces, starting at $165
For a statement piece, we are head over heals for the new Fern Cuff. Inspired by natural motifs, this piece has beautiful detailing. The openwork design gives this larger cuff a lighter feel, keeping it from looking too heavy.
Fern Cuff, $195
Another fun fashion line for the trendsetter is Freida Rothman Jewelry. Freida Rothman uses metal and textures in an innovative way to make pieces with a metropolitan feel. We love the way her use of oxidized silver makes the sparkling stones stand out! This set of stacking rings is one of our favorite pieces from her line- wear them all together for a statement, or separate them for days when you want a more delicate look.
Set of 5 Freida Rothmans Rings, $270
The Contemporary Deco line within Freida Rothman is a great way for the silver lover to get a more edgy piece. Using a matte sterling silver accented with darker oxidized silver, these pieces are light and bright but still have a unique quality.
Freida Rothman Contemporary Deco Pendant Bracelet, $115
For the trendsetter that is really looking for a head turning piece, Freida’s Rose D’Or collection is a statement-making find. With a crushed stone look, these pieces play with sparkle in a non-traditional way. We love the Radiance Medallion!

Our last choice for the trendsetter is the hottest fad on the necklace front right now- chokers! A lot of our favorite jewelry lines have come out with a choker option, the result of which is a lot of fun and different looks available.
The Paris Bracelet offers a great choker made from couture stretch ribbon, making it easily adjustable and comfortable to wear.

Both Pandora and WinterLemon also have beautiful choker options. Pandora’s woven fabric choker can be worn by itself or with 1-5 charms. We love the look of accenting it with a single delicate pendant- the new birthstones are a great choice! Our WinterLemon chokers range from classic, with natural stones and diamond accented pendants, to the on-trend with freshwater pearls, leather, and lariats.

Did you resolve to find fresh, new jewelry pieces for the new year? You are in luck- Waxing Poetic has just released some beautiful new items for 2017! As always, these new charms and necklaces are inspired by the natural world, vintage stylings, and the special words that spark a light in our souls.
One of the most extensive new additions is the Word Play charm collection. There’s a French expression, “Le Mot Juste,” that literally means ‘the right word,’ and more figuratively means the most appropriate expression. Waxing Poetic came up with this sweet suite of whimsy, playful reminders, heartfelt feelings, mantras, and meaning. Made from sterling silver, these new charms look beautiful as part of a collection on necklace or charm catcher or as a dainty sentiment on their own.
Waxing Poetic Word Play Charms ($48)
Another great new charm group is the Found Again collection. These brass medallions are etched with familiar symbols and studded with bits of Swarovski sparkle. With their distinctive size and larger style, they make a great foundation piece for starting a necklace or bangle!
Found Again Charms ($55)
For those looking for a little treat to give their significant other on Valentine’s Day, the new Aim True charm is a sure winner. Maybe Cupid’s arrow or maybe symbolic of some secret dreamy ambition of your own, this charm is meant to inspire you to aim high, far, dear, and true. A mixture of sterling silver and brass and accented with Swarovski crystals, this piece is great for tying together your silver and brass tone pieces and adding a new shape to a collection with more traditional geometric charms.

We saved one of our favorite new additions for last- the new Light as a Feather pendant! This detailed pendant made from sterling silver and white bronze is once again studded with some serious sparkle down the center. We love the flowing, organic shape of this petite charm. Style it by itself on a chain or add it to a grouping of nature-inspired charms- any way you wear it you are sure to get compliments. Use the feather to symbolize lightness and joy or to celebrate the achievement of soaring towards your dreams.
Light as a Feather Pendant ($48), styled with Starburst Found Again charm ($55) and Brave Word Play Charm ($48), worn on Hematite Ensemble Necklace ($88)
As always, with the arrival of new things we have to make room by saying goodbye to some old standards. Stay tuned for news of the retiring charm list from Waxing Poetic to make sure that you don’t miss the opportunity to snatch up some of your favorites before they are no longer available.
