Pyrrha Talisman - From the Big Screen to You!

From their Vancouver studio, jewelry designers Wade Papin and Danielle Wilmore handcraft the heraldic talismans that have become the Pyrrha signature. “Jewelers traditionally try to make everything look perfect, say Danielle and Wade, “but we like to show the maker’s hand. We celebrate the original cracks in the antique wax seals."

The pair designed the Pyrrha Talisman collection after discovering a dusty old box of badly damaged 19th century wax seals. “Designing jewelry from them was inspired by a desire to give the fragile waxes new life and permanence,” say Danielle and Wade. The handcrafted, thoughtful pieces are a striking contrast to the glut of overseas factory made, mass produced jewelry that is so common in their industry. Wade and Danielle explain, “everything seems to be cranked out at a staggering pace and then left for dead. Because we live in such a throwaway society, it’s necessary to create some things that can be kept."

Pyrrha's handcrafted jewelry is sold worldwide at stores such as Liberty of London, Fred Segal LA, Churchill Fairway, Le Bon Marche Paris, United Arrows of Japan as well as at their Pyrrha flagship store in Los Angeles.

Their collection is featured regularly on TV shows such as Once Upon a Time, Ray Donovan, Sons of Anarchy and Elementary and has appeared in publications such as Instyle, Billboard, Vogue, O Magazine, Nylon, The New York Times, Elle and Marie Claire.  Celebrity wearers of Pyrrha's handcrafted jewelryinclude Jennifer Lawrence, Katie Holmes, Rooney Mara, Taylor Swift, Josh Hutcherson, Dianna Agron, Jeremy Renner, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts.
