The history of Pandora
The first Pandora was started by Per Enevoldsen and his wife at the time, Winnie, in Denmark in 1982. Per is a goldmith and started out by importing jewelry from Thailand to sell to Danish customers. It went so well that he started producing the jewelry in a Pandora-only manufacturing site in Thailand, as the cost of producing jewelry there was much cheaper than in Denmark. This meant they could offer their customers more affordable jewelry.
Their now-signature charm bracelets went on sale in 2000 after years of development. They are officially patented. Today, its the third-largest jewlery company in the entire world.
