The Pandora Disney Up House & Balloons Charm (798962C01) was released in Asia Pacific along with the Pandora Summer 2020 Collection with its global release on 2nd July as part of the Disney Summer 2020 Collection.

I have been excited to purchase this charm since I first previewed the official stock images and it is my favourite charm for 2020 so far!

Dora Explores: Pandora Disney Up House & Balloons Charm

The Pandora Disney Up House & Balloons Charm (798962C01) is creatively designed and a colourful cluster of balloons forms the main body of the charm. One side of the charm is embossed with the famous quote from Disney Pixar’s Up movie, ‘ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE’.

Carl Fredricksen’s House hangs beneath the balloons and flies off on a magical adventure. The house is a primary part of the movie Up and is iconic in vibrant design. Although small, Pandora have managed to beautiful recreate Carl and Ellies colourful house, complete with porch, bay window and gables.

The ‘Pandora’ and ‘©Disney’ hallmarks are engraved on the back of the roof on the Up House & Balloons Charm (798962C01).

A mixture of princess blue, sparkly light blue, mandarin orange, pale cerise, vibrant green, purple and magenta enamel is hand painted on the balloons. Plain silver balloons are scattered amongst them which stops the Disney Up House & Balloons Charm from looking garish.

It took me a little while to locate the regular Disney Up House & Balloons Charm. Shine a touch inside the oxidised core and you can see the ‘S925 ALE’ hallmark. I am really pleased that Pandora are starting to be more discreet about where to engrave the hallmark. A charming design can be is diminished due to a badly placed hallmark.

Style 1: Adventure is Out There!

“You know, South America.
It’s like America, but South!“

My first design with the Pandora Disney Up House & Balloons Charm (798962C01) is dedicated to my very own ‘Carl’, my husband.

Inspired by our Disney adventures this colourful design is set on the classic Disney x Pandora Moments Sparkling Mickey Mouse Snake Chain Bracelet (590731CZ). Trips to Walt Disney World are treasured with the Disney Parks Peter Pan, Flying Dumbo and Mickey Mouse Globe charms. Memories of our visit to Disneyland Paris are recalled with the cute Chip ‘n Dale Mickey Ear Hat charm.

Scattered throughout the bracelet, Anna’s (791645), Aurora’s (791658), Belle’s (791643), Tinker Bell’s (791639), Jasmine’s (791648) and Cinderella’s Signature Colour Murano (791640) mimic the colours of the balloons. The Cinderella’s Signature Colour Murano (791640) is currently on sale for £21 at the Pandora UK eStore.

Style 2: Up & Away!

“My name is Dug. I have just met you and I love you!”

“Carl Fredricksen: Hey, let’s play a game. It’s called “See Who Can Be Quiet the Longest.
Russell: Cool! My mom loves that game!”

“I steered us with my wilderness explorer GPS. Boop Beep Beep Beep Boop. With this baby, we’ll never be lost! [accidentally throws the GPS out the window] Oops.”

The Pandora Disney Up House & Balloons Charm is ideal for necklace stylings too. In my second styling I used the Small Silver O Pendant (398296) on the Classic Silver Cable Chain (590515).

Three of the new Pandora Murano charms are threaded onto the necklace chain above the O Pendant to illustrate the idea of floating upwards with Carl’s house. I chose the Wavy Lavender Murano (798875C00), Wavy Dark Blue Murano (798938C00) and Wavy Fancy Pink Murano (798872C00) charms to compliment the colours of the balloons in a stylish manner.
