This is quite the unique panda necklace! You buy the ‘naked’ panda, then you purchase outfits for her..like a bikini! You can change her outfit as often as you change yours.

Unfortunately, it’s no longer available online – you have to call the 1-800 number for Saks Fifth Ave to order. Definitely worth it for such a unique item, though!

As usual, I’m a bit late to the party – these were announced in May by Cartier, so I doubt there are any of the limited edition watches left. However, if  there are any of the 50 still floating around for sale, you can guarantee I won’t be able to afford it for quite some time. As with most things, if you have to ask the price, you probably can’t afford it. I have searched high and low trying to find a price range for these watches, but if I had to guess, I’d guess it’s a multiple of my mortgage. Some of their ‘lower end’ watches that aren’t nearly as lovely as this start out in the $30,000.  And, they aren’t even close to being as intricate and jewel filled as these.

Seriously.

So, let’s all just read along with the description and pretend that someday we’ll own one, ok?

A gentle and familiar panda arrives on the scene in a plump collection of black sapphires and diamonds. The precious miniature animal holds a disc of black enamel in its paws, embossed with bamboo stalks and eucalyptus leaves in white enamel to reflect the delicate landscape of China.

Tracey Hoel, a teen from Aiken, South Carolina has started a small business selling panda bracelets called Panda Bands. All proceeds are donated directly to Pandas International, the same non-profit that will be getting our first $100.00 in ad revenue! It’s great seeing young people getting involved in support of such wonderful causes. I’ll be buying a few and giving them away on the site, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Available on her website, www.pandabands.com, for only $2.00 plus $1.00 shipping charges. I think it’s a steal!

Frances sent me the link to these amazing Hard Rock Cafe panda pins on ebay and I must say I love them. Especially the Hip Hop Panda! Ha!

I absolutely adore this bracelet and would wear it in a heartbeat if only it wasn’t $180.00. Unfortunately, being a poor college student doesn’t allow me to allot that kind of cash for jewelry. Someday…

Also available from Swarovski are these crystal figurines. $450.00 and $180.00 respectively. Eep!

Have you ever felt like having a sparkly panda adorn your clothes? If so, you’re in luck. You can buy this crystal iron on panda decal for $4.99 from Thread Art.

While the necklace is cute, I’m more inclined to want the box it comes in. I have no clue what I’d do with it, but I adore it. On sale at Amazon now for only $6.99.
