Pokémon, Tiffany & Co. collaborate on jewelry costing up to more than P1.5 million
Being a Pokemon Master is not just in games or in Anime. You can also be one by fashionably wearing a piece of jewelry as The Pokémon Company and American luxury jewelry house Tiffany & Co. teamed up to release a series of Pokémon ornaments.
Citing video games media outlet VGC, IGN reported that the jewelry will cost from $1,290 (P72,403) up to $29,000 (P1,627,785).
There are nine items in the collections including the most expensive 18-karat yellow gold Pikachu pendant with diamond accents that come in two different sizes: the larger one, which costs $29,000 (P1,627,785), and the smaller one, which costs $9,900 (P555,662)
Meanwhile, Charmander, Squirtle, Jigglypuff, Cubone, and Mew are each available as oxidized sterling silver pendants with diamond accents which cost $1,290 (P72,403). The price of the seventh piece featuring all mentioned Pokemon has not yet been disclosed, according to IGN.
The new line is a collaboration with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, who also worked with the jewelry company in the past.
In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Arsham said that his latest collaboration with the jewelry house is a mixture of pop culture, fine jewelry, and art.
“Pokémon has had an immense presence ever since I was a child, and this capsule collection celebrates the influence Pokémon has had in my work and my long-standing partnership with a heritage brand like Tiffany & Co. Both are inextricable from the cultural footprint of the past, present and future," he said.
The entire collection will be available to purchase on the Tiffany & Co. website starting on Nov. 29 at 6 a.m. Pacific time (10 p.m. PHT) until Nov. 30 of the same time.
