Pandora is changing how it approaches jewellery design with the launch of Pandora Wonders, a new long-term platform built around working with materials in a more focused and collaborative way.
Instead of releasing standalone seasonal campaigns, the project is structured as a series. Each chapter will centre on a specific material and reinterpret it with an external creative partner, linking product development more closely to cultural context and styling.
The first release, Act I, focuses on freshwater pearls and is co-created with British stylist Harry Lambert. Known for his work with artists such as Harry Styles and Emma Corrin, Lambert brings a fashion styling lens to a material often associated with more traditional jewellery design.
The collection uses irregular freshwater baroque pearls as its starting point. Rather than standardising them, each pearl is treated as a one-off, forming limited-edition dangle charms. Production remains central to the concept: every piece is individually micro-pierced, hand-set, and finished in 14K gold plating, highlighting the technical process behind the final design.
Inside Pandora, the platform is positioned as a shift toward material-first development. Chief Product Officer Philippa Newman describes it as a way to start with the properties of materials themselves and build design ideas from there, rather than working from a fixed visual theme.
Lambert’s interpretation pushes pearls away from their usual formal framing. The approach draws on contrast—combining familiarity with a more casual, styling-led perspective that reflects how jewellery is worn and mixed today.
The debut collection will be shown during Paris Haute Couture Week on July 7, 2026, with limited availability rolling out shortly after through selected stores and retail activations in London and Paris.
