“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”

Keep your hopes and dreams alive with this intricate charm full of twinkling stars!

The PANDORA Illuminating Stars charm (796373CZ) was one of the few star themed charms from the PANDORA Winter 2017 collection, which was largely full of holiday and snowflake charms. Although the Illuminating Stars charm is not as conspicuous as some of my other picks from the Winter 2017 collection, it has a winsome design which is quite captivating.

I have always been fond of star shapes and back in my school days I filled the covers of my exercise books with teeny tiny star doodles. Now that I have matured a little I prefer to use stars to add a dreamy, magical feel to my jewellery with charms like the PANDORA Illuminating Stars.

The face of the PANDORA Illuminating Stars charm is comprised of three stars and five sparkling halos. Each star is slightly different. One is a made of a star shaped cubic zirconia, a second has a single set cubic zirconia stone at it’s centre and the third is finished with s soft, white enamel which has a subtle glittery, pearlescent effect. The entire design is encompassed with a bright, gleaming orbit of clear, cubic zirconia stones. Although I sometimes believe PANDORA can overuse cubic zirconia stones in their designs, I think the use of them in the Illuminating Stars charm is just right.

Initially I dismissed button style charms, as I wasn’t sure if I would like how they integrated with other charms on a bracelet. However, after I added the Ocean Life (792075ENMX) and Tropical Sunset (792116ENMX) charms to my collection I changed my mind! I particularly appreciate how PANDORA use the circumference of button style charms to their benefit by adding intriguing patterns or cute messages. Tweetable: [inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”” suffix=””]Itsy-bitsy cut out stars fill the border of the #PANDORA Illuminating Stars charm. I adore how the stars radiate and shoot out from the centre point![/inlinetweet]

My first styling with the PANDORA Illuminating Stars charm is a heavenly starburst necklace. The floating white glass stars inside the Starry Night Sky Murano (791662CZ) enhances the delicate pearlescent star on the Illuminating Stars charm. Technically the Heart of Winter Pendant (796372CZ) is an icicle but in this design it resembles a star explosion!

My second styling is a brilliant blue celestial wonder! I used only the middle section of the PANDORA Signature Pavé Clasp Bracelet (590723CZ) with the Illuminating Stars charm in prominent position, to highlight it’s beauty. The stunning Royal Blue Galaxy (796361NCB) and Celestial Mosaic (796400MMB) charms contribute a cosmic force and the magnificent Starry Night Sky and Ice Drops Murano (796365CZB) complete the design.

For my third styling the Open Bangle (596477) is ideal to display an elegant trio of charms; the Illuminating Stars charm, flanked with two Galaxy charms either side. I love the lightness of this look and the silver stream of the bracelet threading the charms together. It is simple yet elegant.

The Galaxy charm is one of my favourites and currently you can enjoy a saving of 45% off both the Galaxy (791388CZ) charm and the awesome PANDORA Open Bangle in the Winter Sale on BeCharming.com.

In my final styling I used the Illuminating Stars charm to add a magical feel and twinkling of fairy dust that surrounds Tinker Bell! The delightful Disney Tinker Bell’s Dress Dangle (792138EN93) charm flutters daintily between the Illuminating Stars and Disney Frozen Snowflake (791563cz) charms on the shining PANDORA Mesh Bracelet (596543).
