Hi everyone! As you may already know by now, Pandora is celebrating 20 years since the creation of their first charm bracelet and charm collection and to commemorate that, they will be releasing a new version of their most celebrated charms! The strawberry was the first to be released, and now rumor has it that the frog will be next, but here is where I now get confused and I’m hoping someone can help me out. Pandora released 15 charms in 2000, but I keep hearing 12 of their most celebrated charms will be released correct? I had thought at first that Pandora was going to re-release 12 out of those original 15 charms, but the frog is not part of the first 15. And then I thought well maybe they will only release the charms and not the spacers, but then that only comes out to eight charms…so still confused. Are we just speculating as to which charms Pandora will come out with? It doesn’t necessarily mean the charms released will be from the original 15? Someone please help LOL.
In any respect, everyone is saying the frog will be next, and I kind of agree, but I want to propose a game…what if we start to vote on which one we think will be next? What if we all say in the comments section which charm will be next and the winners will get bragging rights? LOL I can post the name of the winners on my facebook page! I think we can each make two suggestions, one entry can come from the original 15 and the other can be any charm Pandora has ever made since I’m still unclear where Pandora is getting their inspiration from. Here are my two choices: I PREDICT EITHER THE FRESHWATER PEARL FROM THE ORIGINAL 15 WILL BE NEXT OR…..IF IT’S FROM THE HUNDREDS OF PANDORA’S OLDER CHARMS, THEN I SAY THE ORIGINAL BIG SMOOTH HEART WILL BE RELEASED, in honor of it being the Valentine’s Day month!
Would you like to play with us? Please do so in the comments below, let me know what you think? I will take entries all the way until February 18th!
Hi there!
As I understand it, the 12 anniversary charms are “iconic” but not necessarily in the first release. So for my 2 guesses, I’m going with the rumored frog for the first one, and the original charm I pick is the fish, since it’s the symbol for Pisces.
I think the mystery is part of the fun! And you know me, I’ll probably have to get all 12. Lol!
Omg those are great suggestions especially the fish for pieces. I think I’ll be fun too! And thank you for explaining it to me, I wasn’t sure how that was going to work. Even so it’ll be fun to have two guesses!
As I understand it it is going to be 12 popular charms from all 20 years. I think the frog is next as well. I also think we might see the fairytale fish. Princess and the pee might be another. And something with a genuine gem stone.
Oooh! I wonder if it’ll be the number one seller for that year? For example if the frog was the number one seller back in 2001 then it’ll be February’s choice? That’s an interesting idea. Oh yes the princes and the pea was a very popular one as well!
Maybe. But then there will be 8 years that they are going to skip 🤔 I dont know. But Im excited to see what is coming! I expect to be getting them all and putting them on bracelet all together. I ordered an oxidized lobster clasp bracelet for them today ✨
OH that’s so awesome and classic!!!
Hello!
Just like Deborah, I also understood it to be there most iconic charms.
That being said, probably their best sellers or the retired ones everyone still
requests.
Since I am relatively new to the non Disney Pandora world I am going to
guess (and hope) that one of the charms is the Queen Bee. I have been
looking and looking for her! I can’t wait to see what they release. I missed
the strawberry – have asked to be notified when back in stock. I really
don’t think it will be restocked but you never know.
Did you get the anniversary strawberry or do you have the original?
Ooh the queen bee is a good one!!! Yes hopefully they’ll bring her back!! I guess I didn’t read the fine print lol, everyone seems to know it’s the most iconic, I guess I thought the first 15 were iconic LOL. I don’t plan on buying the strawberry, I got the original and don’t need another one. I think they already restocked and sold out again. Hopefully they’ll restock yet again! Fingers crossed for you!
Oh no. I was floating around the mora pandora blog for info on a retired Disney charm and came across this page with
all these pictures of old charms! There are so many that look beautiful I would love the pretzel charm!

I got lucky enough to get the pretzel charm. It’s so funny, I didnt’ care for it when it was in the store, then I made my pac man bracelet and then had to search high and low to get one! It is indeed a hard to find charm now.
I decided to only buy the ones that I’m missing the actual original of, I have the strawberry and frog. Looking forward to seeing what the rest are! I’m going to guess the purse, everlasting love, puffy heart, and definitely the ghost for September or October.
Wait! I thought of another one… the original teddy bear 🧸
Oh dear, I just saw that you said two choices. Oops 😬 I’m going with purse and teddy bear. Sorry!
LOL that’s ok! It’s very hard to not get carried away!!
Hello Jandra,
What a fun game! My February guesses are: hope, faith, and love charm (original 15) and the mouse in the tea cup (not part of the first 15).
I did get the 2020 strawberry charm. 🙂 I do not have the original so it was a “must have” for me. I am only going to order the 2020 charms that I really want. I am not going to order a charm just because it’s part of the release. I am excited to see the charms you order.
Thank you 🙂
Those are very good choices!!! Since everyone is convinced that it’s going to be the frog, I wonder what March will be?
I heard march is a bee
Yes I think it will be the queen bee but instead of the two tone, it will be all silver.
Awwww I’m so excited about all of the 12. Even tho I don’t what they will be. From what I understand the stores find out 3 months at a time so the rumors are already flying out there for feb and mar and I hope they are right. I would LOVE to see the Kings Crown one release!!!
OOHO the stores huh??? Maybe it’s time I go back to my goto store and ask the LOL
These re-releases are very exciting. Maybe Pandora does still care a little for their loyal collectors. I did see mad4pandora’s YouTube video of the strawberry where she said that it didnt seem to be as heavy in silver as the original. Has anyone else thought this? Is the quality as good as the original?
Oh uh!! Not as heavy huh? I need to go check it out, that will be a real shame if somehow they made the charm lighter, how would they even do that?
I think they used the original die cast. It’s old school, just like my old one with oxidation for the seeds – same threaded charm, feels the same weight to me, same color silver. With the logo side down, I can’t tell the difference at all.
I was able to get the Strawberry charm and hoping I can get all of the 12. The rumor is Froggie is next and Queen Bee is March! I would love Ugly Duckling, Princess & the Pea, and King’s Crown!
OH wow!!! That is CRAZY!! So the queen bee really might come back!! I know of so many collectors who really want her, who missed out on the first round. They better make her real two tone and not the shine crap for her crown.
Hoping if they are having any two tone charms they do use 14k. I do not collect shine or rose gold. I don’t know what I’ll do! 😔 I rather the 12 be all silver then with two tone shine or rose gold fake junk!
Agreed! I guess we’ll have to wait to find out!
I Agree! I hate anything that’s gold plated, it looks too cheap! Although I do have a couple Pandora Rose charms that were gifts, it was the thought that counts.
I think I have 2 of the original Queen Bee two tone charms. I might be willing to part with one (to help a fellow collector out) and who knows maybe someone can return the favor in kind one day. 🙂
For March I’m going to guess the Sideways Elephant from the first 15 and the original Dinosaur from any of the others after….fun game! 😉
The Kings Crown is one I’m hoping to see too, as I do not have the original. It would be soooo cool if for Mothers Day in May the limited edition charm would be the original perfume bottle with the orange carnelian on the top! What Mom doesn’t want perfume on Mothers Day???
