With the
hotly anticipated fourth season of Game
of Thrones just around the corner, fans of the hit series have
double cause for celebration this month thanks to a new jewelry collaboration
between HBO and Pyrrha.
The official
Pyrrha for Game of
Thrones collection launches April 4th, 2014 and features unisex
talisman necklaces and rings handcrafted from sterling silver and bronze. Each
talisman features Pyrrha’s unique interpretation of the sigils of the powerful
houses of Westeros, Targaryen, Stark, Baratheon, Tyrell, Lannister and Greyjoy. These wearable
conversation pieces will allow devotees a fashionable way to incorporate their
love of the show, and allegiance to their favorite house, into their daily
lives.
“We were
thrilled when HBO approached us to create an official Game of Thrones jewelry
line,” said Pyrrha designer Wade Papin. “While designing the pieces, we felt it
was important to embrace the spirit of this groundbreaking series while still
retaining the signature Pyrrha style.”
Already a
firm favorite in Hollywood circles, Pyrrha is a jewelry line best known for its
quality, highly personal talismans handcrafted from antique wax seals.
“The
historically inspired aesthetic of Pyrrha’s work made them a perfect match for
a Game of Thrones jewelry
line, said Jeff Peters, Manager of Global Licensing for HBO. “Fans of the show
will be very excited to represent their favorite noble houses with these
expertly crafted pieces.”
The range
will be available at the HBO Shop (store.hbo.com), Pyrrha online (www.pyrrha.com)
and select Pyrrha retailers starting April 4th. Prices range from $98 - $900.
(Talismans as shown retail for $226)
About Game of Thrones:
Game of Thrones follows kings and queens, knights and

for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. As betrayal, lust, intrigue and
supernatural forces shake the four corners of the Kingdoms, their bloody
struggle for the Iron Throne will have unforeseen and far-reaching
consequences.
For the record, the owners of the Apparel Search website
