Sure to capture the hearts of many is a stunning statement ring designed to look like a bouquet of cherry blossoms made with sterling silver and pink enamel flower embellishments topped with seven lustrous white freshwater cultured pearls. For women who prefer stackable rings, PANDORA features a delicate ring with one pink enamel cherry blossom set atop a thin band of sterling silver or 14k gold.

The motif is continued with delightful pink enamel stud earrings available in sterling silver or 14k gold, or add a delicate cherry blossom earring dangle to a PANDORA hoop or French wire post earring. A sterling silver and pink enamel pendant can be worn on a necklace or as a dangle charm on a bracelet.

Equally exquisite are the myriad of new cherry blossom-themed charms sure to complement every woman's style. Select a cherry blossom clip with pink enamel in either sterling silver or 14k to add to a traditional PANDORA clasp bracelet, a clip station bracelet, braided leather bracelet or on a color cord. A new, smaller silver core in the milky white-colored Murano glass charm highlights the bright pink stem holding up a pale pink blossom. Or add sparkle with a pave charm that features delicate cherry blossoms made with 94 hand-set clear, salmon, and black crystal cubic zirconias.

Cherry blossom trees are rich in symbolic meaning across cultures and the source of many annual springtime festivals across the country. As the petals fall from the trees, they transform the ground into a beautiful sea of pink and white.

"While flowers will wilt and die, our newest collection captures the beauty of cherry blossom flowers in timeless jewelry pieces," said Angel Ilagan, Vice President, Marketing, PANDORA North America. "PANDORA is a brand that celebrates life's unforgettable moments, and what better moment to capture than the delicate, short-lived season of cherry blossoms?"

The new cherry blossom jewelry from PANDORA starts at $35. To view the new pieces or locate an authorized PANDORA retailer, visit www.pandora.net.
