Olandria Carthen Stuns in Pandora’s Bold Fall Collection with Dame Pat McGrath

Jewelry serves as more than decoration; it expresses identity, memory, and mood. 

This fall, the Pandora x Pat McGrath collection offers a vibrant, modern take on that idea. 

The 17-piece collection of charms and rings combines Pandora’s craftsmanship with Dame Pat McGrath’s colour expertise. Love Island USA’s Olandria Carthen leads the campaign, bringing a personal connection to both the brand and McGrath. 

Available globally from October 8 in select Pandora stores, both in-store and online, the collection ranges from $58 to $250.

It celebrates colour as self-expression, turning makeup motifs into wearable art for everyday and evening wear. 

Olandria Carthen has never been shy about her love of accessories.   

As a child, she wore rings on every finger, earning the nickname “grandma” from classmates, and always considered glamour essential. 

On Love Island USA, her colourful swimsuits, statement heels, and Pandora jewellery defined her signature style. Now, her early appreciation for the brand has come full circle. 

“I’m so excited to be part of this campaign with Pat McGrath and Pandora,” Carthen told Cosmopolitan.

“Pat is such an icon. Getting to work alongside her has been an incredible experience.

I’ve worn Pandora since I was young, so being part of this campaign feels especially meaningful to me. Thinking back to receiving my first Pandora charm bracelet, I never imagined I would be now working with the brand and Pat in this way.”   

Her first bracelet, a gift from her mother, featured a Gemini charm and a makeup-inspired piece, reflecting her interests. Additional milestone charms transformed the bracelet into a personal keepsake. 

This personal history makes her role as the campaign’s face especially meaningful. 

She previously met McGrath and expressed interest in collaborating, a sentiment echoed by fans online. Working alongside “Mother” on set was surreal and boosted her confidence. 

Dame Pat McGrath has spent decades defining runway beauty with bold pigment, crystal, glitter, and light.

For this partnership, she views jewellery as a lasting extension of her artistic vision.

“To me, makeup and jewellery have always been the same art,” she said. 

“I adorn the body with colour, light, crystal, glitter, and pure pigment. Jewellery is that same instinct made eternal. With Pandora, the two arts I have always loved became a single language.”   

Pandora’s creative directors Francesco Terzo and Alessandro Filippo Ficarelli describe the collaboration as a union of two creative perspectives centred on colour as a transformative element. 

The 17 charms and rings include McGrath’s signature glossy lips in red enamel, shimmering hearts with ombré or crystalline details, miniature makeup icons, hand motifs holding hearts, mystic-eye designs with lab-grown diamonds, and medallions engraved with phrases such as “Mother,” “Stunning, My Love,” and other beauty mantras. 

The collection features rich reds, vibrant purples, and gold accents on 14-karat gold-plated and sterling silver bases, often finished with cubic zirconia for added brilliance. 

Pieces are designed for stacking and layering, including charms for bracelets, necklaces, or hoop earrings, and rings that can be worn individually or together. 

Notable pieces include the Lips of Love dangle charm and statement ring, Tube of Beauty dangle or drop earrings, Beating Heart oversized charm, Red Lip statement charm, Hand of Love designs, and various Beauty Mantra and Mother of Beauty medallions. 

The collection maintains accessible pricing while delivering the high-shine aesthetic associated with McGrath. 

Gold accessories and bold colours are key seasonal trends, both reflected in this collection. The pieces serve as everyday confidence boosters or statement accents. 

Carthen consistently demonstrates how accessories can elevate simple or affordable clothing, aligning with Pandora’s accessible luxury and McGrath’s innovative approach. 

Photographed by Sølve Sundsbø, the campaign features Carthen, McGrath, and others, capturing the collection’s joyful and maximalist spirit. 

The campaign presents jewellery as a central form of self-expression, encouraging wearers to “reveal every shade of who they are.” 

The Pandora x Pat McGrath collection stands out due to the authentic connection among its collaborators. 

Carthen’s childhood charm bracelet, McGrath’s lifelong artistry, and Pandora’s tradition of meaningful symbols converge in pieces that are both playful and personal. 

Whether you choose a mini lip charm or a larger statement piece, the collection encourages you to layer and personalise your jewelry. 

The collection is now available at select Pandora locations and online at Pandora.net.
