It’s that time again folks, Pandora is once again retiring more charms! I decided to make another post instead of updating my last one, I figured it would be easier to keep track of it this way. This list seems to be a doozy and knowing Pandora I wouldn’t be surprised if they added to it again like they did for their last retirement wave back in July. I will also be splitting this wave into two parts like I did for my last post: one post for charms and the other for non-charms such as pendants, rings, etc.
Here is a gallery of the discontinued items:
Essence:
Two tone:
Gold:
I am once again very surprised at some of the choices Pandora made in pulling some of these charms. The Holy Family for example, it only came out last year and it’s already being discontinued? I guess if the charms don’t perform as well as projected they get yanked! Same goes for the Essence, I’ll probably be getting some of those first.
I’m also surprised to see the rose gold dangles finally going, well I’m not really surprised. After an issue with the hallmark and/or metal purity stamp Pandora pulled these charms in order to correct their mistake, and I guess they are just not going to be corrected after all.
I hope this list has helped you readers decide if you will be splurging, I know I will! I think I already have about 10 charms on hold that will be getting retired, I may have to do another haul video! I’m not sure how long before these charms get pulled for sure, but at least know you guys know. Will you be adding these to your shopping cart soon?

Aw, more of the lovely classic silvers are going 🙁 I can’t believe they’d get rid of the Teacup, it’s so pretty and dainty. Hopefully some of these will make it on to Rue La La, though.
I know! It’s a real shame. That one is on my wish list too, along with the giraffe. I’m sure Rue La La will have them, but probably not until next year.
Pandora like the high price paved cz, synthetic stone, man made crystal. Ha! Ha! I only buy Pandora during promotion or GWP, Can $90 tp $100 plus tax for a small charm, no way!
I never pay full price either 😉 last time I made a purchase was during the free charm promotion. Got US$330 worth of merchandise, for $200 (no tax, no shipping fees). that’s almost 44% off if I compare to the price I would have paid in store (with tax and without promo).
Also, I have a general question: how do you feel about wearing Pandora clips on a TB bracelet? I’m thinking about exchanging my Pandora for a TB (they have the “ultimate exchange program”), but the clips are slightly too tight to move on the TB chain, so I’m wondering if it’s safe.
Trollbead bracelet is kind of oxidized and square shape, I don’t think Pandora clip will fit and look nice on it. I only have one Trollbead bracelet with 7 murano and 4 silver on it, this will be it. I like to collect famous brand name bracelet, like Link of London, Thomas Sabo, Tous…and some real paved diamond bracelet and brand name earrings. Now I only like Pandora silver Moment and Thomas Sabo Karma, I got two free Karma bracelet from Sept promotion, real stone bead $25.5, open work silver $32, very beautiful, much nicer than Pandora Essence. Thomas Sabo has 6 concept store in Toronto. Oh! Free diamond Charm Club bracelet with $125 purchase now on, I like anything free! Why not?
I got 5 free charm too, we are value shopper.
I only have one Trollbead bracelet with 7 murano and 4 silver on it , this will be it for Trollbead. Pandora clip may not look nice on TB bracelet, I usually don’t mix brand. I like to collect brand name bracelet but not too crazy for the charm so that I don’t need to spend a lot. I have Link of London, Tous,…2 Rose gold Pandora, 2 Heart clip Pandora, 1 Oxidized Pandora, 1 Paved heart bangle. I only put 3 to 4 charms in between the 2 clips, simple style. I only like Pandora silver Moment and Thomas Sabo Karma now, Karma bead is much nicer than Essence, I got 2 free bracelet from promotion, 5 real stone and 2 silver and 2 stoppers, very beautiful! Thomad Sabo has free diamond Charm a Club bracelet now, I like anything free, Why not?
I used to have only Pandora, but I’m mixing brands now. I exchanged my first Pandora bracelet for a Trollbeads because it was too big for me, and Pandora didn’t want to exchange it. Now I have a few Trollbeads, some Ohmbeads, and just one Elf Bead. They mix pretty well.
But now, I’m trying to have themes on each of my bracelets. Each theme would have both TB and Pandora, so I’d have to use only TB bracelets. The only issue is my 6 Pandora clips…
Thomas Sabo’s karma beads are really cute, but so pricey! They are very low on my wishlist for that reason 😉
I don’t buy jewelry on line yet. Ohm and Elf don’t have shop in Toronto. Trollbead has only one small gift shop carry 1 hour driving. My husband don’t like Trollbead, he said the style don’t fit me, 🙂 We both like Pandora Moment and Thomas Sabo Karma, every shopping mall has Pandora and there are 6 Thomas Sabo.
why are my favorite charms leaving? more and more of my charms are retired!
can’t wait to see the jewelry retirement list, and plan my shopping accordingly!
I agree, seems like there will no longer be classic Pandora charms 🙁
well, that’s why I barely buy anything there anymore :s
at least, I’m glad I discovered Ohmbeads; they’re my favorite right now.
I might get the two-tone rings on rue la la if it appears there on discount, though!
I went to my Pandora store today (not for this). They told me the volley-ball is one of their best seller, as so many girls play in the area!
Yeah I really don’t understand why they are discontinuing the volley ball! I know people were asking for that charm for a long time and now it’s like they are not giving it a chance!
As a customer, we have so many choice. Pandora is not a must have for me, they can produce whatever they like, the choice in my hand.
