Today’s post will be reviewing the limited edition Love is Forever charm from Pandora. I didn’t even realize there was going to be another limited edition charm but if memory serves Pandora usually has a limited edition charm for every holiday I think, I know last year there was one for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s day as well (I think?)  A kind reader pointed out to me that this charm isn’t really a limited edition charm, not sure why I thought it was, but it’s not, I think the fact that it came in a box is what made me think it was limited edition, but now I realize my mistake!

First Impression:

I wasn’t too wowed with the online image of the charm, I mean it does look very similar to the other Signature Pandora Logo jewelry so I didn’t give it a second thought, until I saw it in real life of course.

Review:

This is one sparkly charm! It’s almost like a miniature version of the Radiant Hearts only in clear and without the heart cut outs.

It offers a lot of sparkle that is for sure! I had initially wanted to wear this as a pendant, but I’m having second thoughts as it doesn’t sit like I want it to. Perhaps if I loop several Pandora bracelets together to make a necklace then this charm would look better as a pendant.

It comes in a cute little heart shaped box, I always like the boxes these limited editions charms come in, but I never know what to do with them, I always feel bad throwing them away, but then if I keep them they are kind of bulky and take up a lot of space.

Perhaps I will put this charm in a project that I am currently thinking of starting that I’m calling my random and abstract bracelet, it’s going to be a bracelet dedicated to the older abstract Pandora charms with an element of sparkle. It’s such a new project that it only exists in the virtual world for now.

One thing I have to say about this charm is although it is sparkly, to me it almost has a greyish color to it, it’s not a bright, clear stone, this may be due to the fact that the cubic zirconia is not a brilliant cut round stone but a rose cut. The rose cut is a more antique cutting style, this is why the stone has a slight duller effect, it’s not quite as fiery as a brilliant round cut would be, this could appeal to a more sophisticated Pandora collector.

In Conclusion:

I do like this charm very much but I’m finding that I don’t really have a place for it, that is why it might go on that project I was talking about earlier. This charm is sterling silver with cubic zirconia and retails for $70, it’s also a limited edition charm so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

What do you think of this charm? Do you like it? Do you plan on taking it home with you?
