Those looking to give the gift of glamour can select from PANDORA's newest collection of pave charms available with black, clear, blue, pink or brown gemstones. Select a sterling silver or 14k gold star dangle charm or a sterling silver clip with pave set stars. Any of the new pave charms add sparkle to a sterling silver, oxidized sterling silver or 14k gold bracelet. The dazzling new charms can also be combined on PANDORA's colored cords, leather cords or new triple-braided leather bracelets.

In addition to bracelets and charms, PANDORA's collection of stackable rings in a variety of colored stones and striking sterling silver designs make a simple, yet classic gift.
