Pandora designs, manufactures, and markets a large range of hand-finished and modern jewellery, including their very popular customised bracelets and rings, in more than 80 countries across six continents.

Completing the additions to Silverburn's line-up is Open, the brand making their debut in Scotland, has recently opened a 646m2 (6,953 sq ft) store adjacent to JD Sports and Bank.

Commenting on the arrival of Pandora and the other new brands, David O'Neil, leasing executive at Hammerson, said: "Pandora enhances Silverburn's jewellery offer and adds to the rich mix of brands available for visitors, particularly those looking to buy gifts for friends or loved ones.  In the run-up to Christmas, Pandora, along with Papyrus, Cath Kidston, Open, our new Carluccio's and unique TGI Friday's, will ensure that Silverburn's offer leads the region."
