Disney x Pandora
We had already talked about Pandora on these pages on the occasion of their special collections dedicated to Harry Potter and Star Wars. Today we are dedicating space again to this company specializing in customizable jewelery, talking about their line dedicated to the world of Disney.Founded in 1982 by Per Enevoldsen, Pandora produces jewelery for the mass market, hand-finished and with a modern cut . Pandora is most famous for its bracelets that can be personalized with decorative elements, called charms, of various types. In addition to bracelets, the company also produces rings, earrings and necklaces, the latter perfectly compatible with the charm system of bracelets. in order to be able to tell a story thanks to it and thus condense, in a unique object, a particular emotion or moment.
The collection dedicated to Disney characters (available at this link) has given life to Pandora-style interpretations of some of the iconic characters, such as Mickey and Minnie, but also some of the most beloved Disney Classics, including Cinderella, Mulan and Frozen. Not only Disney strictly speaking, the Pandora collection also pays homage to some of Pixar's films, such as Up, Finding Nemo and Toy Story.
All the jewels in the Disney collection are aligned with Pandora's production standard , which he realizes by hand finishing his own little precious items in 925 Sterling Silver and enriched, depending on the jewel, with colored enamels, zirconia stones, cultured pearls and colored crystals.
The various elements can then be composed at will on one of the different bracelets of the Pandora line and, if it were your first Pandora, you can choose between one of the models of the various lines, or one of the bracelets of the Disney line . The latter differ from the Pandora collection due to the particular closures, which refer to the character who inspired the bracelet in question, and in turn recall the shape of the Disney charms.
