As part of its branding, the company is strongly associated with its official color, Tiffany Blue , which is a registered trademark. Founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young in New York City in 1837 as a "stationery and fancy goods emporium," the store initially sold a wide variety of stationery items, and operated as Tiffany, Young and Ellis in lower Manhattan.
The name was shortened to Tiffany & Co. in 1853 when Charles Tiffany took control, and the firm's emphasis on jewelry was established.[4] Tiffany & Co. has since opened stores in major cities all over the world. Tiffany's is the maker of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, made annually to be awarded to the NFL team that wins the Super Bowl that year.[5] Tiffany & Co. also made the 2010 World Series Rings for the San Francisco Giants[6]. The MLS championship trophy, won by the Los Angeles Galaxyin 2011 was also made by Tiffany & Co.[7]

Pandora A/S (stylized as PANDORA) is a jewelry company founded in Denmark. It sells customizable charm bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces in more than 50 countries.
In 1982, Per and Winnie Enevoldsen opened a shop in the Nørrebrogade area of Copenhagen. When the demand for their products increased, the couple shifted their focus to the wholesale business. In 1984, the couple opened a production facility in Thailand, Pandora Productions, and hired designer Lone Frandsen to help create a jewelry line. In 1996, Pandora — strictly a wholesale dealer by then — hired its second designer, goldsmith Lisbeth Enø Larsen, who worked with Frandsen to create Pandora’s signature style and customizable charm bracelet.[2]
In 2006, Pandora launched its first store in Hamburg, Germany, followed by locations in Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada, United Kingdom and the United States. Pandora employs more than 2,500 people.[2]
