From “Girl with the Pearl Earring” to Boy (in this case, Harry Styles) at the Met Gala, few gemstones match the enduring and transformative power of a well-placed pearl. At once classic and contemporary, organic and cultured, simple and rarefied, pearls can make a powerful, personalized statement that nothing else can.
This summer, Pandora is announcing Pandora Wonders, a multi-year rollout of artisanally-crafted charms encapsulating the innovative, whimsical essence that has come to define the brand. Each new Pandora Wonders collection, released annually, is designed around a distinct material and will feature an exciting array of international guest collaborators. Available in select stores and online on July 9, the first capsule includes 11 dangle charms crafted with freshwater baroque pearls and is co-created by renowned celebrity stylist Harry Lambert.
Shop at Pandora Baroque pearls are shaped by nature. Amorphous in form and no pearl looking exactly alike, each pearl in the collection was selected for its uniqueness and how it interacts with the charms. Taking the shape of a mouse, a heart, or a pea in a pod, these freshwater pearls have been lovingly hand-set by artisans in 14K gold-plated details. One charm, a pufferfish with a pearl body, gold fins, and gemstone eyes is perfect for leveling up a beach look—whether you’re on the Amalfi Coast, the Hamptons, or at the office, imagining you were on a beach vacation instead. A petite mushroom charm brings a touch of magic to your jewelry, hinting at enchanted forests and fairy tales.
“This collection is where nature meets unbridled imagination, part creature, part object, part story,” says Pandora Creative Directors Francesco Terzo and A. Filippo Ficarelli. “They sit between rarity and play. Each one feels discovered, not made, as if drawn from a cabinet of wonders where the ordinary has shifted into something extraordinary.”
Of course, “something extraordinary” calls for an equally extraordinary partnership, which is why the brand turned to Lambert, whose vast celebrity clientele—including Alexander Skarsgård, Emma Corrin, and the aforementioned Harry Styles—has been dominating recent red carpets, magazine spreads, and press junkets. (Indeed, it’s him you have to thank for Skarsgård’s recent foray into leather pants, as well as Styles’s bold and commanding “Together, Together” world tour outfits.)
Browse through Lambert’s portfolio and it becomes obvious why the multi-hyphenate creative was the perfect collaborator for the Pandora Wonders freshwater pearl collection. His innovative and cheeky penchant for mixing heritage wear with striking avant-garde designs is mirrored in the playful charms, which also include an ice cream cone, a rocket, a squid, and a web-footed frog.

“I’m such a fan of pearls, so I’m so thrilled to bring a renewed sense of childlike delight and nostalgia to Pandora’s unique world of charms, signatures which already have such a place in so many people’s hearts,” Lambert says—and if you’re looking to fact-check his long-time adoration of pearls, simply look to Harry Styles’s “Music For a Sushi Restaurant” music video in which the musician, styled by Lambert, is practically encrusted with them.
For the Pandora Wonders campaign, Lambert—who’s previously teamed up with Pandora on its Bridgerton and Disney campaigns—tapped into his childhood imagination, creating a fun-house world of grandeur in which models are outsized and interacting with gigantic versions of the pearl-centric charms.
