Pandora sent me an email a few weeks ago saying prices were going up March 1. My local jewelry store said the prices were not going up until March 8. Online, I noticed that Pandoramoa already raised their prices, while Denmark Beads has not. I placed an order last night at the old prices, spending $90 and saving $30 (compared to the new prices)!
By comparing Pandoramoa prices to the last catalog, I found out what went up: Wood beads, silver muranos, and alphabet beads went up $5. Most gold & silver beads stayed the same, but some went up $5 or $10 (such as the wedding cake, the christmas tree, & the sea shell.) Most silver with gems and enamel beads did not go up. Lots of silver beads went up $5, including the clover, dolphin, ghost, dog, present, money bag, ghost, boy, girl, etc. Some silver went up $10, such as the bird, hippo, horse, and elepant, and the aloha bead. I didn't check the gold bead prices too closely (can't afford anyway!)
If you have a wish list, it might be smart to check which beads went up and try to buy those at the old price while you still can. If the price stayed the same on some of your favorites, you know you can wait to buy those later! I bought 2 aloha beads and saved $20 right there!!
