Pandora marks Disney’s 100 years with 2 charms
Disney characters join fan favorites in a series of eight limited edition charms by Pandora to be released this year. Simba from Disney’s The Lion King will be joining the line-up to celebrate Disney’s 100 Years of Wonder this August. The new charm is crafted from sterling silver with solid 14k gold accents and shows the lion cub in a playful pose, resting his front paw on a lab-created diamond. In September, another character will join the celebration: Dumbo, the little elephant with big ears and even bigger dreams. The limited-edition charm in sterling silver features solid 14k gold details and depicts the baby elephant soaring through the sky. He holds a lab-created diamond in his trunk, symbolizing the “magic” feather that gives him the confidence to fly. Each charm in Disney x Pandora’s Disney100 series features a lab-created diamond. Lab-created diamonds are identical to mined diamonds but are grown in a laboratory rather than mined from the earth. Other charms in the Disney100 series launched earlier this year include Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage, and Donald Duck. The designs are accompanied by a dedicated Disney100 bracelet and collector’s box.
