What Pandora does
Pandora A/S is a Danish publicly-listed jewellery company (Nasdaq Copenhagen: PNDORA) that designs, manufactures and sells hand-finished contemporary jewellery across more than 100 countries. Founded in Copenhagen in 1982, Pandora is the world's largest jewellery brand by volume, operating approximately 7,000 points of sale including over 2,800 owned-and-operated concept stores, and employing roughly 39,000 people globally across stores, crafting, distribution and corporate functions. The company's primary customer base consists of women seeking accessible-luxury jewellery across Gen Z through older consumer segments, with products positioned around self-expression, personal storytelling and meaningful gifting at accessible price points.
The company's core product platform is built on its iconic Pandora Moments charm bracelet system launched in 2000, which provides endless personalisation combinations and has been expanded into rings, necklaces, earrings, lab-grown diamond pieces, and additional charm sub-brands (Pandora Me, Essence, Talisman). Production is vertically integrated, anchored by approximately 12,000 craftspeople across Thailand facilities (Gemopolis since 2005 and Lamphun since 2017), with a USD 150 million Vietnam crafting facility in Binh Duong Province that began operations in early 2026 and adds up to 60 million pieces of annual capacity — a 50% increase in global capacity — bringing total annual output to roughly 172 million pieces. Key proprietary technologies include the Pandora Evershine metal-alloy core used for the 2026 platinum-plated jewellery launch, industry-first carbon footprint labelling for lab-grown diamonds (~90% lower emissions than mined, verified by EY under ISO standards), and a full transition to 100% recycled silver and gold completed in 2024. Manufacturing facilities operate on 100% renewable electricity and hold LEED Gold certification.
Pandora generates revenue almost exclusively through one-time retail sales of jewellery products via three channels: owned-and-operated concept stores, the pandora.net e-commerce platform, and franchise/distributor relationships in select markets (notably parts of Asia). The company reported FY2025 revenue of DKK 32.5 billion (EUR 4.4 billion) at a 23.9% EBIT margin, supported by approximately 915 million store and online visitors annually. Brand collaborations with Netflix (Bridgerton, Stranger Things), Disney (Frozen, Marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Little Mermaid), Warner Bros (Harry Potter), and entertainment figures (Pamela Anderson, KATSEYE, Tyla, Madison Beer, Millie Bobby Brown) form a major part of the marketing mix alongside corporate partnerships with UNICEF, Salesforce, Hardis Supply Chain, GXO Logistics, the British Fashion Council, and Global Fashion Agenda. The company is currently undergoing a CEO transition, with Berta de Pablos-Barbier assuming the President & CEO role effective January 1, 2026 after previously serving as CMO.
