Charming! Pandora opens flagship store in Cork

Irish ladies have jumped on the Pandora craze with gusto over the last few years, and many of you probably are sporting a pandora charm bracelet on your wrist as you read this!  The good news for Irish Pandora aficionados is that the internationally successful Danish jewellery brand has expanded their position in the Irish marketplace with the opening of a flagship store in Cork’s city centre!  There are also stores in Dublin’s Grafton St & one opening in Limerick shortly.

Over 60 invited guests were in attendance at the Official Launch  last Thursday 2nd December. Guests braved the Arctic conditions to attend the newly opened store on Cork’s Winthrop Street and their resolve was rewarded with a thoughtful ‘thank you’ gift. Each guest was presented with a beautiful charm, gift-wrapped in the inimitable PANDORA style, from the PANDORA ‘Unforgettable Moments’ Collection.  Niiice!

The Christmas atmosphere was most definitely is the air with the backdrop of the Christmas lights on Winthrop Street and seasonal music lending a festive feel to the evening. To help celebrate this wonderful event, Cork favourites O’Flynn’s Gourmet Sausages welcomed their new neighbours by providing party-goers with much-needed  hot gourmet sausages garnished with home-made relish helped to stave off the bite of the December air!

Founded in 1982, PANDORA designs and manufactures beautifully crafted, hand-finished jewellery made of genuine materials. The beauty of PANDORA jewellery can be attributed to the attention to detail given to each and every piece in the collection, primarily created from sterling silver, gold, precious and semi-precious stones and Murano Glass.

The Cork store is the first of several store openings for PANDORA planned for late 2010, with further plans to expand in 2011. Thanks to strong growth in recent years, PANDORA is today, one of the world’s largest jewellery manufacturers. If you are lucky enough to live in Cork, check out the new shop on 9 Winthrop Street,  if not, visit www.pandora.net or call (021) 4276228.  And…to whet your appetite, lust over the gorgeous pieces in the Pandora TV ad (and no, I’m not just talking about the lead male!)

Guys struggling with the perfect Christmas Gift, then a Pandora charm bracelet or necklace is sure to put a smile on your girls face!  Pandora charm bracelets are also a lovely idea for bridemaids gifts with matching charms as a keepsake of the special day.
