HISTORY OF PILGRIM JEWELLERY

Over the last few years, Pilgrim has taken the world by storm and is considered the fastest growing international fashion jewellery brands in Europe, if not the worlds.  Pilgrim jewelry continually evolves in step with the latest fashion trends yet has a twist - a small but significant creative detail – that distinguishes itself from other jewellery available on today’s market and incites positive attention.

Pilgrim was established in 1983 by Thomas Adamsen and Annemette Markvad in Denmark.  The pair spent a year selling jewellery which they collected on their travels in the East.  Some jewellery items were produced in their small apartment in Skanderborg and they were always quick to turn a good idea into reality. They swiftly began exhibiting their wares at trade fairs in Denmark and later on family and friends became involved with the business.

Because business expanded so quickly, Annemette and Thomas had to move into larger premises – the basement of a large, old house. From then on things moved fast. Below are some of the most important milestones in the Pilgrim history, from humble beginnings to becoming a leading brand for fashion jewellery and accessories.
