PILGRIM was established by Annemette Markvad and Thomas Adamsen in 1983. It was just the two of them that first year, where they travelled around to festivals in Denmark and sold the jewelery they’d bought on travels to the East. They made some of the items themselves 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 in the business.

PILGRIM is a Danish brand producing fashion jewelery and accessories for men and women. In addition to jewelery, PILGRIM offers a range of eyewear - including sunglasses, reading sunglasses and prescription eyewear – and a range of watches. All our products are designed in Denmark.

PILGRIM products reflect broad fashion trends – with a difference. PILGRIM’s designs always stand out from the crowd. Often the difference comes from daring the unexpected – like using materials and colors in new and original combinations. For example, several models in our sunglasses range have complementary jewelery items that can be worn on their frames.
