The Hen Party

The Dress

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable events of your life, and your jewellery should be nothing short of spectacular. The key is to choose pieces that complement your dress and enhance your overall look. Depending on the dress neckline, a statement necklace or a delicate chain with a meaningful pendant can be the perfect choice. Call it your ‘something new’ and look at the great choice of quality crafted necklaces that Pandora has to offer. For strapless or sweetheart necklines, a choker or short necklace such as this Treated Freshwater Cultured Pearl & Beads Collier Necklace will enhance your look. It comes in a choice of sterling silver (€159) or plated in 14k gold (€209). The delicate white treated freshwater cultured pearl sits among a series of beads and the length is adjustable. Staying on the pearl theme, a V-neck dress will pair beautifully with a pendant necklace such as the Organically Shaped Pavé Circle & Treated Freshwater Cultured Pearl Collier Necklace (€129) from the PANDORA ESSENCE collection. It can add a touch of sophistication to your dress as it falls into the V-shape and will add extra dimension.

Eco-friendly, ethically sourced and long-lasting are all important traits for jewellery in 2024 and beyond. Pandora upholds its strong commitment to sustainability by sourcing 100% recycled silver and gold instead of newly mined metals, thereby preventing the emission of approximately 58,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. Additionally, Pandora aims to halve its greenhouse gas emissions across its full value chain by 2030, reflecting its dedication to long-term environmental responsibility.

hen we consider the term ‘luxury’, we often think of opulence, inaccessible expense and exclusivity. Shifts in retail trends in 2023, however, have been reshaping our idea of what luxury is really about. Just as “quiet luxury” has taken the fashion and lifestyle worlds by storm, so has “accessible luxury” — a focus on quality and elegance rather than overt logos or brash consumerism. Accessible luxury is sophisticated design that stands the test of time; it carries a value that transcends cost. Pandora challenges the notion that elegance has to come with a hefty price tag. Whether it's for Christmas, a birthday or to mark an important milestone on life's journey, Pandora has something for every occasion, every budget and for every type of jewellery-lover to discover. Jewellery isn't a mere expression of personal style, but one of sentiment. So, while you may know that you have jewellery fans in your life, shopping for them still involves time and consideration. The right piece will leave a lasting impression on its recipient, so choose wisely. Not sure where to start? Our thoughtful gift guide will help you to add even more sparkle and meaning to the holiday season.

The honeymoon is a time for relaxation and romance, and whether your mission is to read on a beach or trek up a mountain, no doubt you have planned your outfits weeks ahead.

On this pair, the pearl is framed by sparkling clear cubic zirconia in a pavé circle, with heart-shaped butterfly backs adding another romantic touch. Whether you want to treat yourself or give a friend or family member some gift inspiration, your love story will shine through with these exquisite pieces. Let Pandora illuminate every chapter.

Expressing the month of your birth through jewellery is another way to add a personal touch to your look. Pandora offers a collection of beautiful charms, earrings and rings featuring birthstones, ideal as gifts or to add a hint of colour that complements the wedding or bridesmaids’ dresses. Whether it’s a nod to the red garnet for January or the bluish turquoise for December, there’s a beautiful birthstone for everyone.

A charm from Pandora is more than just jewellery; it’s a meaningful way to share your love story and what matters most to you. Since launching its first heart charm in 2000, Pandora has transformed charms into symbols of love and individuality, making them ideal for creating lasting memories with the person you plan on spending your life with. Each Pandora charm tells a unique story, and over the years, the memories and feelings attached to them will only grow more meaningful.

Custom pieces with engravings or meaningful symbols make for thoughtful gifts for couples to exchange ‘the morning of’. Selected Pandora stores in Ireland offer this service. Unboxing a pendant or a ring engraved with a private joke, initials or a personal message will reinforce your connection and create a lasting wedding memory.

Personalisation

Your hairstyle can also be a good guide for the pair of earrings you choose. If your hair is up, consider elegant drop earrings such as the Treated Freshwater Cultured Pearl & Stone Drop Earrings (€109), which will match your necklace choice, add movement and stay on theme. Plated in 14k gold, the top part features a cubic zirconia stone, while a treated freshwater cultured pearl hangs elegantly below. Each is fastened with a heart-shaped butterfly back, so you don’t have to worry about losing one on the dance floor. For hair that’s down, studs or small hoops will prevent tangling mishaps throughout the day. These Organically Shaped Oval & Treated Freshwater Cultured Pearl Stud Earrings (€89) from the PANDORA ESSENCE collection have one treated freshwater cultured pearl tucked inside a 14k gold-plated oval and they stay flush with your earlobe to avoid any hair hazards. What makes all of these treated freshwater cultured pearls so special is that each one is unique and can vary in size and colour. Finally, a sparkling bracelet will add another touch of glamour to your wedding look and complement your engagement ring as well as your wedding band. This Blue & Clear Sparkle Slider Bracelet (€65) is perfect for your ‘something blue’, too. The colour adds a touch of glamour to your wrist with a row of delicate, royal blue stones. It has a sterling silver sliding clasp for a perfect fit. Long-lasting and of high quality, each Pandora piece will add elegance to every anniversary night outfit for years to come, serving as a lovely reminder of your special day.
