Pandora

i received a lovely watch from Danish brand Pandora as a present. don’t really wear watches although i do need them when i go on overseas trips, but this is really elegant and pretty which means i’ll be wearing watches more often.

the picture i took doesn’t do it justice, so here’s one from the website:

i like the tiny diamond on the watch face, and apparently there’s a small black diamond on the crown as well. there’s more info on the store’s website here, although i’m not sure what the purpose of the black diamond is, other than to increase the cost of the watch, as you can’t really tell that it’s a diamond anyway.

by a happy coincidence, December’s Her World also ran an article on Pandora – about their charm bracelets for which they’re most famous and popular – and it turns out that they have 5 outlets in Singapore. before this watch i never knew the brand existed, much less know that Singapore has its outlets! this solves the question of what to do if the watch needs fixing, which i was wondering about in Ireland.

i also received this pretty charm bracelet from British jewellery brand Downer and Hall:

yayness. i definitely should get the boy better presents!
