Pandora is an international jewelry manufacturer and retailer founded in 1982 by Per Enevoldsen and his wife, Winnie Enevoldsen, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Initially, the company operated as a family-run jewelry shop that imported pieces from Thailand for resale. In 1989, Pandora shifted its focus to manufacturing its own jewelry, setting up a production facility in Thailand. The company specializes in customizable charm bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces, and watches, with its charm bracelets being its signature product. Pandora’s jewelry is sold in more than 100 countries through over 7,000 points of sale, including approximately 2,700 concept stores.

Pandora's breakthrough product, the customizable charm bracelet, was introduced in 2000. The bracelets are designed to be personalized with interchangeable charms made from materials such as sterling silver, gold, and enamel. The launch of this product significantly contributed to Pandora's global expansion. The company’s jewelry is marketed as affordable luxury, targeting consumers who seek high-quality jewelry at accessible price points. Pandora's products are crafted from a range of materials, including silver, gold, diamonds, and semi-precious stones.

In 2010, Pandora was listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange, marking a major milestone in the company’s growth. The brand has invested heavily in marketing and digital innovation, with a strong presence in e-commerce and social media platforms. Pandora has adopted sustainability practices in its operations, focusing on using responsibly sourced materials and reducing its environmental impact. In 2020, the company announced its goal to become carbon-neutral by 2025, further emphasizing its commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Pandora operates two main crafting facilities in Thailand, which are among the largest of their kind globally. These facilities are certified according to international environmental and labor standards, reflecting the company’s commitment to ethical production. In recent years, Pandora has expanded its product offerings to include new collections, collaborations with global brands, and seasonal releases aimed at engaging different demographics.
