We all know jewelry is personal. It reveals things we don't always say out loud. And it signals identity in ways both subtle and striking. Jewelry turns the ordinary into something worth noticing.
Pandora, the world's largest jewelry brand, really captures this spirit—it's centered self-expression and storytelling in its designs for years. And it's always made a particular point of celebrating the experiences that define who we are, often making use of meaningful symbols to express our innermost sense of self.
The new Talisman collection—part of the Pandora ME line—continues in that tradition. Its 12 charms are each engraved with a pithy Latin inscription whose translation can serve as a personal motto: "love conquers all," for example, or "toward better things." The phrases are accompanied by relevant symbols—hearts, moons, stars—each adding meaning and character all its own. Available in sizes ranging from small medallions to bold maxi coins, and crafted in your choice of 925 sterling silver and 14K gold plating, these pieces are designed to layer, stack, and move freely without ever disrupting the overall look.
Want to find the talisman that speaks to you? Well, we just happen to have designed a little quiz to guide you to your ideal keepsake. Every question invites you to think about yourself (tough ask, we know), and your answers will reveal the charm that's tailored to your milestones and values—in other words, something unmistakably yours.
