The Pilgrim story began in Århus, Denmark, in the summer of 1983, when designer Annemette Markvad took her passion for minimalism, art, and music and turned it into a collection of handmade jewelry that she sold at festivals across Scandinavia and Germany. Annemette's family tradition of handmade and heartfelt jewelry continues in Canada today thanks to a team of passionate Montrealers who share her vision and values.
