Pandora Beads--Retired Charms

Did you know that Pandora retires some of its charms, usually each time they put out a new batch? I'm not exactly sure why they do this, but to date there are now quite a few retired beads.

What does it mean? Simply that they are no longer making that particular bead. This doesn't meant that they aren't available to buy, they are but only while current stocks last.

So, if there's a charm that you're attached to, or that you're saving up for but that you haven't been able to buy yet, you might want to keep an eye on it and make sure that it doesn't slip into the retired charms category.

There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason as to why they retire them. With some, from looking at them, it seems likely to me that it's because they're not really the more popular charms, but with others I really can't tell why they have retired them.
