Today’s post brings one of my final Pandora AW17 previews, with a detailed look at the upcoming Pandora Winter 2017 jewellery! I already previewed the charms and bracelets, but this post covers earrings, rings, necklaces and the like. We have detailed stock images and pricing, plus a few live shots at the Winter collection overall to round off with. ^^
The key motifs for Pandora’s Winter 2017 jewellery are elegance, stars and heart of winter, and the sets mainly revolve around those themes. There are some great pieces coming out – they may be similar in style or design to those from previous years, but the execution on many of them is really very lovely.
The collection is due out on 2 November. Read on for a fuller preview!
Necklaces
Let’s start with the necklaces, this time around. The Shooting Star necklace is a more dramatic piece on a 60cm chain, with a price tag of $100 USD / $110 CAD.
On the other hand, the Celebration Stars are more obviously starry, but with a more cute and less classic design. It comes on a 70cm chain, although it can be worn at different lengths, and is priced at $90 USD / $100 CAD.
The Heart of Winter design comes in two different styles: the first is a more delicate affair, priced at $80 USD / $90 CAD and arranged on a 45 cm chain.
The second is more of a statement piece. It’s bigger, coming on an 80cm chain, and pricier at $125 USD / $140 CAD.
Finally, we have the Classic Elegance necklace, retailing for $90 USD / $100 CAD.
Rings
Pandora rings are probably the most popular item of jewellery after their charms & bracelets, and I have quite the collection myself these days, so it’s always fun to see what new designs they’re bringing out.
The Heart of Winter ring will retail for $60 USD / $75 CAD.
The Cosmic Stars ring is on the large side, which in turn pushes the price up – it’s $115 USD / $150 CAD.
The Shooting Star ring offers a more slimmed down version, priced at $70 USD or $80 CAD.
The Timeless Elegance ring now comes in three new colours, retailing at $75 USD / $85 CAD:
Earrings
My favourites of the new earrings are the Shimmering Drops, which now come in this gorgeous celestial navy blue. They’re priced at $85 USD / $90 CAD and, like previous designs in this series, are reversible!
The Shooting Stars earrings come in two lengths. The shorter ones are $65 USD / $75 CAD:
And the longer ones $75 USD / $85 CAD:
The Hearts of Winter studs are a bit more affordable at $50 USD / $55 CAD:
The Classic Elegance ones offer a more timeless design:
And then, finally, we have a new colour of the Timeless Elegance studs in midnight blue, priced at $80 USD / $90 CAD.
My Comment
Some of these are pretty, but to be honest I’m more excited about the Winter 2017 charms, of which there’s a lot I love! I do like how they’ve managed to give a hint of a starry or celestial design, while keeping each piece of jewellery quite classic or wearable – but ultimately these strike me as being quite similar to previous winter jewellery collections. Having said that, I think the Heart of Winter design works particularly well as the smaller necklace, and I also really like the Shimmering Drops in midnight blue!
I’ll be doing my HQ preview of the charms soon, too. :D
What do you think of this selection?
Very beautiful indeed,Ms. Ellie. I like the earrings better than the necklace and the rings. Keep up the great work.
I like the midnight blue shimmering drops the best of all these as well! :)
Are these original Pandora
I like the heart of winter pieces they are very nice. Not sure on the other pieces.
Yeah, you can see why they decided to make a full set of jewellery with the heart of winter design! I like the midnight shimmering drop earrings as well, but there’s nothing that I would buy here. :)
I´m more excited about the charms, too. So far I love several of them. As for the jewellery above I really like the shimmering drops earrings, they are gorgeous but I normally wear silver or white pearls because they make my complexion look more luminous. I suppose I´ll try them on but I don´t have much hope. There are some more cute pieces but nothing that is a must-have for me. At least for now. Let´s wait and see all of it in person haha ;)
Ah, I love pearls as well! But I don’t wear my pearl rings on a daily basis as I’m so tough on my jewellery and I’d hate to ruin them. ^^
Another season monopolized by CZ! I’m surprised the prices haven’t dropped since there’s much less sterling in Pandora’s jewelry today as compared to a few years ago. I’m still hoping and waiting for a return to natural stones and figural gold/silver charms. I was once a Pandora fanatic but rarely purchase anything anymore.
Hi Lynn,
I started dabbling in trollbeads. I love their beads made of stone. I was not a super big fan of past collections but I’m really loving the fox spacer and owl bead and strawberry quartz stone bead. Maybe you’d like it too?
Trollbeads locks are fantastic, little works of sculpture, some of them. And their beads too; their designers put thought and effort into each bead. Some of them are really incredible and not at all something Pandora will, or can, ever do. But Pandora aims at a different market, for which design (art, sculpture) isn’t as important as sweetness and sparkle. The more markets the better though. It’s fun to interchange brands when possible.
I agree. I liked my troll because of the swan clasp. I like pandora better overall but love a few trollbeads. I only have three beads on my troll so far. Pandora is more easily accessible in my area, there is no local troll retailer so I do pandora more since it’s fun to pick the beads out in person to get the ones you like best.
The swan is beautiful. I have it, and the heaven crane, and the small and big fishes, and the dragon. I love the versatility of the lock and chain system, and the fact the lock is an actual something, not just a branded uniform ball. I also love that Trollbeads does Scandinavian beads, as I’m half Swedish. :-) Most importantly for me though is that I can wear the Trollbeads bracelet with just a lock when I want to stack multiple silvers and not be messy, and the chain doesn’t PINCH! It’s the most comfortable bracelet chain I’ve ever worn.
I know, I guess the reasoning is that people think it’s worth more because it has CZs and therefore more can be charged? Idk.
I don’t see any must haves but of course that may change if I see it in person!
Yep, there’s always that caveat! ^^
That’s how it always goes for me. I see it then want it all lol
Thank you for the preview. I don’t see any rings that I want to get. I like some of the necklaces, but I don’t wear them enough to pay those prices.
You are welcome! There’s not anything for me, either.
I really like the new celestial charms. I foresee adding just a few to either an open Bangle or my double leather dark blue bracelet to wear with my existing celestial bracelet, which I will not ever change. I like the timeless elegance in the jewel tones. The blue will go with my birthstones and the Emerald with my rose gold pieces. I want Bambi and Thumper, as well as the polar bear Christmas charm and the snow globe. I like the Shooting Star ring a lot. So I will be adding several pieces to my existing designs.
I love the Pandora rings too and wear a lot of them stacked almost daily. I want the Dazzling daisy ring in Rose Gold to go with my twist of fate my bff gave me for my birthday.
It’s a good thing Christmas is coming. I can put some of these on my wish list.
Looking forward to November 2nd!
I haven’t decided exactly where I am going to put all my Winter 2017 pieces! The BF charm will go on my red Asian bracelet, and I think the blue snowflakes bead will go on the LE bangle from last year, which I got from Rue La La… Other than that, I’m not sure! Glad to hear that you like some of these :D roll on November 2 indeed!
I haven’t gotten into earrings or necklaces yet, thank goodness (for my budget). But I think most of these are pretty. I like the idea of the reversible ones!! I agree with previous poster though – more cz means less sterling silver which is the most expensive aspect. Cz are not a precious stone so how can they be so expensive?
Aha, it is a very slippery slope! I got minorly into the rings for a bit but eased off again – I have a pair of earrings and a couple of necklaces, but nothing too extensive. It’s just the bracelets and charms that I go mad for!
I know, it’s always made me nervy about paying out for the big pave pieces. They don’t seem value for money compared to the more traditional beads – they are often very light!
:-) Thank you for the review!
There I quite a few pretty things in this new collection.
Have a very HAPPY week :-)
You’re welcome! Have a lovely weekend :)
Hi Ellie
Like you nothing here for me, but I do love the shimmering drops. I am also more excited about the charms, All the blue ones will make it home with me at some point to finish my blue bracelet, I’m looking forward to Nov 2nd.? I know it’s a way off but in my Pandora store they have already seen the Valentine’s Day collection , have you had any word on this yet yourself??
Thanks Ellie
Hi Janelle! I just posted yesterday some sneak peeks, although I don’t have a full preview yet :) it gives you a good idea of what sort of thing is coming though!
Colors are great though. Pandora does do seasonal color well.
They do! Although sometimes I wish that they’d go a little off piste as well ^^ they’re so thoroughly reliable for each season!
Hello! This is my first time commenting on here :) I love your blog and I have a question! I have seen a country exclusive charm from Brazil with Our Lady of Aparecida on it and I was wondering if anyone would have any tips for me on how to get it since I live in the US? It’s a pandora exclusive to Brazil only I think.. I would attach the picture but I’m not sure how on here? I first saw it on Instagram! Any help would be appreciated :) thanks! -Ally
Hi Ally! Lovely to hear from you :) is it this charm that you mean?

I had a look on the Brazilian store and this is all I could find! As retailers are not permitted to ship internationally, I think your best bet would be to go and join one of the Pandora Facebook groups. There are many these days- my favourites historically were Pandora’s Angels and Pandora’s Tribe, but there are others now – and ask for someone from Brazil to help you. The groups have recommended seller lists, etc., and so you can check out who’s reliable etc, and they’re generally a very safe place to buy, as they’re run by Pandora fanatics and experts ^^
Thank you sooooo much I will definitely do that!! Yes that is the charm!! I appreciate your help so much – thank you for the lovely response and all your hard work I love it!!!! ;) -Ally
The rings look so elegant to me! I don’t wear rings often though, so I won’t get it.
I may get the snowglobe charm though — I think it’s so cute. It reminds me of the snowglobe collection I used to have as a child.
In the Australian catalogue for November release we are also getting ‘shining stars’ stud earrings for AU $45. They are plain silver studs, like the plain silver star petite. A must have for me, will go great with the cz starshine studs.
