Queen Bee Pandora Inspirations Bracelet

August is a month of contrasts, when it comes to the type of people you might be buying birthday gifts for this month. Playful, colorful and dramatic Leos are month-mates with the more reserved, tidy, dignified Virgos in August. However, one jewelry brand brings them together – Pandora! A varied and versatile range itself, Pandora’s jewelry collection has expanded from their core offering, their stylish and sexy brand of charm bracelets, to include ready-made items, mix and match earrings, and such eclectic jewelry types as toe rings and anklets along with the usual pendants, rings and earrings. We have a look at the best of the Pandora range for August birthdays.

As a female-style range, you’ll be looking at finding gifts for women who are either conscientious, detail-oriented, tidy and somewhat reserved (Virgos, born from the 23rd of August onwards), or passionate, fiery, somewhat folksy and always colorful (Leos, born from the 1st to the 22nd of August). For Leos. We love the Queen Bee charm bracelet at the beginning of the article – these dramatic women are often the center of attention … and if it is a romantic gift, it is a great way to remind her that she is always the center of your attention! As a startup bracelet, the Queen Bee is actually quite affordable.

For fastidious Virgos, the Princess and the Pea charm on this Inspirations bracelet will certainly ring true! These detail oriented women will notice even the smallest thing out of place … pop a pea under their mattress and see . This charm , as well as the Queen Bee one above, can be found in the Pandora Silver and Gold collection, an affordable category with a touch of class.

If you’d like to give a more complete Inspirations bracelet for your August birthday gift this year, the water flow Inspirations bracelet at right is the perfect solution for Virgos. Blue is the signature color for this sign, and there is nothing that the color makes us think of more than the calm of the ocean or a still lake. Virgo girls have the same calm, reserved atmosphere as the ocean – they are still waters that run deep! This three-bead bracelet is a nice way to start creating a mood for a Pandora bracelet, while still allowing her plenty of choice.

Leos love color in their life, making the Color Fun bracelet at right another great choice for an August Pandora gift. It has plenty of Murano glass and primary colors, and is actually quite a flexible piece even without any additional beads. An interchange piece for the center bead can completely change the personality of the bracelet, while the pairs of colors can be re-arranged as you like.

However, things don’t have to be awash with color to appeal to Leo sensibilities. As well as being dramatic and colorful, they can also be quite natural and folksy, with a childlike wonder at the natural world. The Tree of Life bead ring at right is a lovely alternative choice, made of affordable sterling silver with the dramatic contrast of 14ct gold. The ring is actually part of a Tree of Life set, comprising stud and dangle earrings, a pendant, a wide-band ring and ordinary bracelet charm. Don’t forget that all Pandora products ship for free within Australia, either!

In addition to being detail-oriented, Virgos are conscientious and live by the motto, ‘Better safe than sorry’. A safety chain will be a must on a Virgo bracelet, and the water motif of the raindrop chain at right is perfect for deep, calm Virgo gals. Careful arrangement of the charms on her bracelet will be important also – spacers are an inexpensive way to achieve the perfect placement and allow feature beads to properly stand out. We picked the wavy groove spacer at right to match with the raindrop safety chain, both of oxidized sterling silver.

We mentioned that an interchange bead in the Color Fun bracelet for Leos could completely change the feel of the jewelry, and we love the possibilities of the ocean green with flowers design along with the Color Fun beads. There is a huge range of joyful primary colors in the Murano Glass category, but this one lends a different hue to the bracelet without looking out of place. Best of all, the Murano glass beads are surprisingly inexpensive.

Enamel is another excellent way to incorporate color into Pandora bracelets, as an alternative to Murano glass. The enamel flower design bead at right is the basis for a huge range of Pandora jewelry, including several different styles of rings, earrings, pendants and necklaces. This bead may just start an avalanche! Enamel is a more basic, simple way to incorporate color in Leo bracelets, and all of these designs come in bright happy orange, sunny yellow, lime green or sky blue.

Conscientious Virgos never forget – which is why these women will love the sweet baby elephant charm at right, with the best memory in the Pandora zoo! One of the newer sterling silver charms in the collection, the baby elephant charm is a newer and (if I can say so…), much cuter version of the older style elephant charm! She’ll love the clean, sleek polished sterling silver look and the sweet yet wise look.

There is something for every woman within the Pandora pages – these are only a small selection of the enormous possibilities the range holds. We haven’t even looked at the necklaces, anklets, or earrings or toe rings yet!
