Pandora unveils creative platform, Brit stylist first collaborator, Paris to get couture week pop-up

Jewellery giant Pandora has announced a new long-term creative platform “designed to bring fresh cultural relevance to the brand and create new reasons for consumers to engage” with it.

And Act I of that is a limited-edition freshwater pearl collection, co-created with British stylist Harry Lambert.

The platform is called Pandora Wonders, a multi-year initiative “celebrating iconic jewellery materials through craftsmanship, design and collaboration”. 

Pandora Wonders will debut during Paris Haute Couture Week on 7 July. The collection will be available in limited quantities from 8 July at selected Pandora stores and on Pandora.net. Shoppers will get exclusive early access Dover Street Market London from 7 July and a dedicated Café Nuances pop-up will open in Le Marais, Paris, from 8–11 July.

After the debut collection, each year, the platform will collaborate with a “leading creative talent to reinterpret a signature material through the lens of contemporary culture, creating distinctive collections and experiences that inspire”. 

As mentioned, Lambert — known for styling Harry Styles, Emma Corrin, Alexander Skarsgårdis and more — is its first collaborator and brings a modern perspective to freshwater pearls.

The collection features limited-edition dangle charms made from “one-of-a-kind freshwater baroque pearls”. Pandora’s craftspeople “use a precise micro-piercing technique before hand-setting each piece and finishing it with 14K gold plating”. 

Chief product officer Philippa Newman said: “We’re exploring the beauty and character of iconic jewellery materials through the eyes of leading creative voices. It’s about reimagining timeless materials in a way that feels fresh, expressive and unmistakably Pandora.”
