About Per Borup Design
“Jewelry is not just jewelry – it’s part of your life story.”
OUR HISTORY
Established 1962
At Per Borup Design, we are proud to be one of the few remaining jewelry companies that still produces jewelry exclusively in Denmark.
At our workshop in the Copenhagen area, we hammer, file, solder and saw the precious metals and go to great lengths to create beautiful quality jewelry with soul.
The jewelry is characterized by good craftsmanship, high quality and precious materials.
Our exclusive jewelry tells the story of a company that has aesthetically influenced Danish jewelry design for 60 years.
Today, the company is run by Per Borup’s son Kell Borup and granddaughter Julie Borup.
When Per Borup (1936-2012) grew up, he had no idea that he would end up as a goldsmith.
By chance, he applied for an apprenticeship in Copenhagen because his mother had seen an ad in the newspaper in 1951.
It turned out to be the best thing that had happened to the 14-year-old boy.
Per Borup fell in love with the craft and loved shaping precious metals into beautiful jewelry.
His masterpiece, which he designed himself, was an intricate brooch for which he received both a diploma and a bronze medal in 1956.
As a freelancer, Per Borup was soon doing workshop and commission work for the biggest jewelers in Copenhagen and his craftsmanship was admired far and wide.
In 1975, Per Borup’s son, Kell Borup (born 1959), joined the company as an apprentice.
For Kell, the choice of profession came very naturally as he practically grew up in a goldsmith’s workshop.
In 1979, he became an apprentice and co-owner of Per Borup Design.
When the company celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1987, it was celebrated with the launch of jewelry in its own name and Per Borup Design was founded.
THE JEWELRY
Established 1962
The aesthetic of our jewelry often stems from the contrast between rustic and shiny surfaces.
The way the gold design supports the sparkling diamonds plays an important role.
Common to the jewelry is a classic Scandinavian touch.
Our jewelry is timeless and is designed to follow its owners for a lifetime, preferably several generations.
That’s why we place great emphasis on quality, and we don’t compromise on it.
The jewelry is handmade in 14 and 18 karat red gold and palladium white gold with diamonds in Top Wesselton / VS quality.
Per Borup Design is stocked by several Danish jewelers and is successfully exported to Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium.
