New Pave Charms for Spring

Pandora have released a few more new charms as part of the Spring Summer Collection. They included two beautiful openwork barrel charms with Pave set cubic zirconia - available in both clear and pink.

There's also a pave pink heart clip, which i think would give any Pandora bracelet that wow factor. But, be warmed, that one's £50 so a bit of saving up for me. The two pave barrel charms are £45 each.

I think Pandora began using Pave charms around the time of the Christmas Collection. I was luck enough to be given the glitter ball charm for Christmas and I have to say that photos of these charms don't really do them justice. The glitter ball had not been on my radar before, but seeing it on my bracelet next to my other sterling silver charms it really comes alive. I remember years ago I was watching the sitcom Cybill (remember that? showing my age now!) And Maryann, played by the excellent Christine Baranski, made a comment "Cubic Zriconia, God will know." The idea the CZ stones are inferior to diamonds can sometimes turn people off them as they think they're just cheap. But when you see them pave set, they create such a lovely sparkle effect that it really doesn't matter.
