Tired of boring old jewelry? KATSEYE is here to fix that.
Coming off a major year for collaborations, with their epic Gap campaign set to “Milkshake” and a quick stint with Glossier, the girl group has set its sights on Pandora, helping the brand introduce their new mini charms. While they may be mini, these charms have big personality, especially when stacked together. KATSEYE modeled six brand new extra mini charms depicting meaningful symbols like music notes and infinity signs that can be worn endlessly, mixed and matched on bracelets, earrings, anklets and more.
This Pandora invention gives your boring old pieces longevity, spicing your go-to jewelry with new charms that give any old chain tons of personality.
The collection is available to shop now on Pandora’s website. The new charms are available in three materials, allowing you to further choose your own journey: 925 sterling silver, 14k gold plating and mixed materials. Pricing on the mini charms range from $20 to $35, a small price to pay for charms that are said to last a lifetime of wear.
“We love wearing jewelry that means something to each of us,” said KATSEYE in a press release from Pandora. “The symbols feel personal, and we know our fans will connect with that. Everyone can find the charm that fits their own story, and that is what makes the collection so fun to wear.” Every charm is sold separately, further pushing this idea of creating your own jewelry, making it your own.
Here’s what to pick up from the Pandora x KATSEYE collection online.

The concept of charm bracelets isn’t a new one, but it’s certainly novel, especially when people have often favored buying pre-made charm bracelets, defeating the purpose of the sentimental style. To prove their wearability, the members of KATSEYE styled their favorite mini charms loaded up on necklaces, attached to hoop earrings and even strung in their hair. This rewearability is what makes us believe this product is worth the money and something our readers should definitely purchase if they want to mix up their everyday pieces.
As mentioned earlier, these charms are meant to last, especially the metal-blended models that are reinforced with a mix — as the name suggests — of materials that make the charm stronger. Of course, all jewelry tarnishes because of oxidation, but it can “spoil” more quickly if you’re not careful when applying moisturizer or if you wash your hands with your jewelry on.
When they’re not modeling mini charms, KATSEYE is releasing Billboard hits like “Gabriela” and their earworm “Gnarly.” Most recently, the group dropped “Internet Girl,” which has since claimed the 29th spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts, a massive feat for a group still in their infancy. Of course the biggest accolade for the group: being nominated for Best New Artist at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
