Danish jewellery: the houses to know

Georg Jensen opened his silversmithy at Bredgade 36 in Copenhagen in 1904, and by 1924 his jewellery was sold in his own shops in Berlin, London and New York. In 1976 the silversmith Søren Nielsen made Faces, a silver bead of six faces, and Trollbeads grew from it as a family company; most of its silver beads are still cast by the lost-wax method. Pandora, based in Copenhagen, now sells its jewellery in more than 100 countries through some 7,000 points of sale.
