Copenhagen, Denmark—Pandora opened its first refurbished store Thursday in Birmingham, United Kingdom, revamping the location to reflect the brand’s updated store layout and aesthetic following its relaunch.

The first revamped store in the U.S. will be in Westfield Garden State Plaza in New Jersey, opening in November in time for the holiday season, a Pandora spokesperson confirmed to National Jeweler Thursday.
The Birmingham store makeover involved an interior redesign with a focus on “creating a welcoming and interactive environment,” Pandora said in a press release.
The new design encourages discovery and collecting, the brand said, allowing customers to touch and feel the jewelry.
Shoppers can mix and match bracelets and charms at the charm bar or check out new products and bestsellers at a treasure table.
