As part of global celebrations honoring the 30th anniversary of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ beloved Academy Award®-winning feature film, The Lion King, Disney and Pandora have joined forces to create an-all new jewelry collection. Launching globally today, May 23, ahead of Walt Disney Studios’ upcoming live-action film “Mufasa: The Lion King,” set to hit theatres on Dec. 20, 2024, the Disney The Lion King collection, features six pieces with beloved characters and cinematic motifs inspired by the acclaimed animated classic.
To commemorate the upcoming franchise milestone, Pearl Khwezi, who currently plays Nala in Disney’s Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical in New York City, is helping bring the campaign to life. Pieces from the collection worn by Pearl were shot on location in New York City. The collection includes a stunning 14k gold-plated ring and Murano glass charm nodding to a scene depicting The Circle of Life, a 14k gold-plated charm, a sparkling splittable dangle charm made of sterling silver, a 14k rose-gold plated charm and woven braided leather bracelet.
Pearl, a multi-talented Broadway Actress whose theater background spans from South Africa (where she is from), to Spanish Broadway and the Apollo theater in Harlem, originally became part of the Broadway hit in 2018. In addition to Nala, Pearl has covered the principal roles of Rafiki.
