This spring marks a new era for Pandora, as the brand unveils Pandora Talisman – a bold new collection that takes its cue from ancient coins but lands firmly in the here and now. These elevated pieces transform age-old symbols into modern expressions of self, inviting wearers to carry their values as part of their style.

At the heart of the collection are twelve designs, each engraved with Latin mantras that feel just as relevant today as they did centuries ago. There’s amor vincit omnia (“love conquers all”), carpe diem (“seize the day”), and per aspera ad astra (“through hardships to the stars”). Paired with powerful motifs — hearts, moons, stars and arrows — every talisman becomes a tiny piece of wearable wisdom, ready to sit close to the skin as a private mantra or a public declaration.

Hand-finished in sterling silver, 14k gold plating, and mixed metal finishes, the pieces celebrate texture, contrast, and the beauty of imperfection. One design shimmers with man-made mother of pearl, while the largest is finely engraved with arrows – a striking emblem of resilience and growth. Whether worn solo for subtle symbolism or layered up on newly designed necklaces, these are jewels that invite play, mixing and matching to tell your own evolving story.

“Pandora Talisman is more than a new collection, it’s a new way to connect, reflect and express,” says Creative Directors A. Filippo Ficarelli and Francesco Terzo. “They are carriers of memory, reflections of self and gentle reminders that meaning is something we make our own.”

Pandora's first ANZ ambassador, Maddison Brown.

In time with the launch of Pandora Talisman, the brand has also announced Australian actress Maddison Brown as it’s first ambassador for Australia and New Zealand. 

“I’ve always admired Pandora’s dedication to celebrating individuality, self-expression and personal storytelling,” says Brown. 

With Pandora Talisman, the brand invites wearers to move beyond adornment and into storytelling – choosing pieces that don’t just decorate, but define. It’s jewellery as identity: intimate, symbolic, and quietly powerful.
