Gold, chunky and chic — Pandora's new collection is an unexpected, summer-ready vibe shift
When I was growing up, a Pandora charm bracelet was a milestone for many girls. 16th, 18th and even 21st birthdays were marked by friends and families all chipping in to purchase the silver chain bracelet, in addition to a few carefully selected charms. I, however, was not one of these girls — the kind of jewellery I favoured consisted of safety pins shoved through the ear, padlocks worn about the neck and studded leather wrist cuffs from Camden Market. Therefore, a dainty heart clasp bracelet with dangling Disney characters, sentimental phrases and initials was never going to be up my street. As I have gotten older, I've held on to this perception of Pandora — that it's only for one, certain type of girl. A girl who probably loves horse riding, lives in the suburbs and gets on with her parents (no shade if that's you, it's just not me). However – and I rarely say this – perhaps I was wrong. In the past year, Pandora has collaborated with fashion designers like London-based Ahluwalia and fellow Copenhagen brand Rotate (with ambassador Pamela Anderson even attending the SS25 show). Its latest global campaign features icons such as Winona Ryder and Iman, and the brand's impressive sustainability initiatives range from lab-grown diamonds to partnering with UNICEF. Last year, Pandora launched its first Essence collection, described as 'representing the freedom to embrace natural forms and fluid lines in everyday style'. From stackable gold rings, pearl embellished earrings and wave shaped bangles, it was a far cry from the aforementioned charm bracelets of my youth. Plus, being made from sterling silver and 14-karat gold plating, all combined with affordable price tags, it's safe to say that my attention definitely piqued. Now, the brand has launched round two of Essence, again being inspired by Mother Nature, with pieces reflecting 'the wonders of the natural world'. The sleekness of the last collection is still present, with a focus on gold hardware across large-link necklaces, ripple-effect rings and wide hoop earrings. I love the bangles — the thin twisted one is £150, and I haven't taken it off since the collection came out. The stackable rings are also great, blending in easily with my own existing collection. And the freshwater pearl necklace has become an absolute staple in my jewellery rotation. While it is on the more expensive side, coming in at £350, it hasn't tarnished whatsoever despite me wearing it daily (I even went swimming in the sea in it recently, oops). It also forms the perfect base layer for other chain necklaces. Of course it wouldn't be Pandora without some charms, and the new summer range includes large starfish, cute seahorses and gem-studded seashells. Pandora introduced keyrings last year, which makes sense given that people are now (literally) fighting one another in the street to get their hands on a Labubu. Not to backtrack on the aforementioned bracelets, but given that the brand started offering charms 25 years ago, it only seems fair that the collective obsession with customisation, nostalgia and all things cute includes Pandora too. I'm quite obsessed with the fact you can seamlessly move the charms from earrings, to necklaces, to bags. As someone who loves being able to customise and alter pieces depending on my outfit, this is a massive bonus — the clippable stud earrings, £40, are kind of a revelation in that sense, and also ideal for people who love to wear mismatched jewellery (AKA me). And while the ocean themed charms demand to be worn by a beach, there's something quite fun about their specific seasonality. Who says you can't wear a starfish necklace on your office commute, anyway? So, consider me a Pandora convert — clearly there isn't just one type of girl its jewellery caters to, but many. With the price, quality, collaborations and sustainability standards all hitting just right, I look forward to seeing what the brand does next.

Inside Beckhams' Last Happy Family Photo Before Feud Exploded
A smiling family portrait once captured the Beckham clan united in festive cheer — but just months later, it all unravelled. The last photo of the whole Beckham family together, including eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, paints a very different picture to the tensions that reportedly now exist behind closed doors. Taken at Christmas and shared on Boxing Day last year, the snap shows David and Victoria Beckham with all four of their children — Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — posing in front of a glowing Christmas tree, the MailOnline reported. Nicola, beaming alongside her husband, was very much part of the family fold. The caption, written by Victoria, read: 'Being together for the holidays makes me so happy xxxx I love you all so much @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham #harperseven x.' Nicola warmly replied: 'I love you all so much!' But fast-forward just five months, and cracks appeared to show. Despite the glitzy celebrations for David's milestone 50th birthday, Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent — and their no-show did not go unnoticed. According to The Mail, the couple's failure to attend marked a turning point, with insiders claiming the feud is now 'beyond repair'. A source told the outlet that Nicola is thought to be at the centre of the family fallout. Before the tensions bubbled to the surface, the Beckhams had publicly rallied behind Brooklyn as he launched his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23. The family jetted to Los Angeles to support the release, and just weeks later, they showed up again in London for a UK launch at Whole Foods. As recently as September, the whole clan appeared together again in Paris during Fashion Week to support Victoria's SS25 collection — a sign, at the time, that all was well. Now, those smiles seem a distant memory. While reports have surfaced that David and Victoria were unwelcoming towards Nicola, insiders close to the Beckhams have firmly denied this — insisting they've done nothing but support her. One friend told The Mirror: 'They have gone above and beyond to help Nicola with her endeavours.' Another added: 'There's no anger but just a deep sense of sorrow about how things have turned out.' For a family once celebrated for its close-knit bond, the heartbreak behind the headlines is plain to see.
