History of Pandora

Initially from Copenhagen, Denmark, the Pandora Jewelry brand had established itself in the Northern Europe region prior to arriving in the U.S. In 2002, the Pandora Jewelry brand made its debut into the jewelry industry of North America. Influenced by Greek mythology, the Pandora jewelry line blended flexibility with style to create the actual beads and charms which are available in the present day.

Based on the Greek myth, Zeus desired vengeance upon the god, Prometheus, because he stole fire from the immortals and gave it to the mortals. He then instructed the god, Hephaestus, to make Pandora, the very first female and instructed the other gods to pamper her in a manner which would certainly attract mankind. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, presented Pandora with clothes as Aphrodite, the goddess of love, offered her beauty. Necklaces, made by Hephaestus, were offered to her by the Charites, goddesses of charm.

Zeus presented Pandora with a box, in which he prohibited her to open, and then directed her down to Earth. During her creation, the first female had been given curiosity. Because of this, Pandora was not capable of withstanding temptation. Once she opened the box, she unveiled all of the issues, such as disease and conflict, that would eventually affect mankind. At the end of all of this, the only element that remained within her box had been hope.

The Pandora Jewelry brand went on to utilize inspiration and hope as the main inspiration behind the prosperous Pandora design. By simply giving women the chance to style and design their very own unique jewelry, the Danish brand promotes creativity and individuality. Today, the corporation is actually showcased in magazines as well as in jewelry stores all over the world.
