The charm was always intended to be sold for a limited time only, but Pandora were forced to pull the charm early due to complaints from the Olympic committee (Pandora weren’t official sponsors of the Olympics, and therefore should not have been producing Olympic-themed merchandise). This charm was released exclusively to the UK in 2012 as part of the Best of British set, in honour of the London Olympics. The silver version was re-released globally with the zodiac collection, but the two tone version remains an Asian exclusive. This charm was released alongside the Hong Bao to celebrate the Chinese New Year in 2012. This charm was again only available in Germany, and is now retired.

It features a 14 carat gold open heart, and is one of the most sought after HTF charms amongst collectors. This charm is not a religious charm, despite its name it was released exclusively to Christ jewellers in Germany. Other colours of this charm are still available from Pandora. This is one of those charms that fetches a lot of money on the second hand market. This charm was only ever released in Germany, and is no longer available to purchase. These fetch a pretty penny when sold on these days! The charm is supposed to be a mixture of the giraffe, the bumblebee and the lion, representing Pandora’s core values: passion, pride and performance.
