PANDORA PAVE CIRCLE COLLIER NECKLACE

As a single mom, my mom would take my son out shopping birthday and Christmas gifts so my son could choose something special. Pandora was the “go-too” store for all occasions. He was adamant it was Pandora.

This past Valentines Day, my (birthday) we had a date. He arrived with a bouquet of flowers and a bag from Pandora with the matching earrings and delicate bracelet to the necklace from Christmas. I wear it every day to remind me what a thoughtful young man I have raised. www.pandora.net | https://ca.pandora.net
