Pamela Andersoncan buy herself jewelry (and probably flowers, too).
The actress and model, 56, isfeatured in Pandora’s new campaignin support of its three new lab-grown diamond collections — Pandora Nova, Pandora Era and Pandora Talisman — and she spoke to PEOPLE at the launch event about just how meaningful she feels the jewels can be.
“I think diamonds are really great gifts, but I think that if you can give them to yourself? That’s empowering,” she says.
In fact, Anderson subscribes to her own advice.
“I just bought some jewelry for myself. And it feels good. And there’s no strings attached!” she says with a laugh. “So you’re like, I can just wear this.”
Anderson, who is mom to sonsDylan, 25, and Brandon, 27,both of whom joined her in the campaign and at the event, went on to say she’s sentimental — and the liberation of buying yourself things isn’t to be underestimated.
“I’m such a romantic," she explains. “I attach memories to every single thing I have.”

Ultimately, theBaywatchstar says her rule for walking into every room (or runway) with courage is simple: “Embracing who you are at every chapter in your life is really important."
