Across the world, many brands produce beautiful jewelry pieces, but PANDORA stands out with its affordable, customizable, and trendy designs.
Founded in the early 1980s by Danish goldsmith Per Enevoldsen and his wife, PANDORA has become a prominent global jewelry brand. Their collections feature bracelets, pendants, charms, necklaces, earrings, and personalized items, along with exclusive club memberships.
Among their products, charm bracelets remain their most popular items sold worldwide.
Learn about PANDORA's origins.
Starting as a retailer, PANDORA shifted toward wholesale early on. It expanded globally, entering the US market in 2003, and Germany and Australia in 2004. Today, PANDORA operates in over 70 countries with around 900 stores, making it the third-largest jewelry producer worldwide.
While many brands focus on rings and necklaces, PANDORA’s charm bracelets have become their bestseller, appealing to a wide customer base.
Their iconic style was inspired by a timeless silver rope design with space for charms crafted from silver, gold, or semi-precious stones. This popular design quickly became a fashion staple globally. In 2000, PANDORA secured a patent for their bracelet style.
They didn’t invent the charm bracelet but enhanced and popularized it, drawing from traditional folklore where charms symbolized protection and good luck.
Charm bracelets have been favored in America since the 1930s and 1950s, but PANDORA’s affordable charms ($15–$21) made them accessible to middle-class consumers during economic downturns.
The success of PANDORA charms lies in their craftsmanship and relevance, combining current color trends with traditional charm artistry.
With over 800 designs, customers can personalize their jewelry to express individuality and meaningful motifs. Today, PANDORA’s charms and bracelets are widely available, inspiring everyone to build their unique jewelry collections.
