Pokémon, the popular franchise of video games, anime, and merchandise, has teamed up with Tiffany & Co., the iconic luxury jeweler, to create a limited-edition capsule collection of necklaces and pendants. The collection is a result of a collaboration with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, who is known for his “Future Relics” series of sculptures that depict objects from the present as if they were unearthed from a distant future.
The collection features nine pieces, each with a pendant shaped like a Pokémon, such as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Mew, and Ditto. The pendants are crafted from oxidized sterling silver, with some exclusive styles in 18k yellow gold with diamonds. The designs are inspired by Arsham’s Pokémon sculptures, which he exhibited in his “A Ripple in Time” show in Tokyo last year. The sculptures have a crystallized quality that evokes a sense of decay and transformation.
The collection is available on EQL, a platform that uses blockchain technology to ensure a fair and transparent selection process for purchasing limited-edition products. Customers can apply to purchase the pieces on EQL, and the winners will be randomly selected and notified via email. The collection ranges in price from $1,500 to $29,000, depending on the material and the rarity of the Pokémon.
The collaboration is a unique fusion of art, culture, and luxury, that appeals to fans of both Pokémon and Tiffany & Co. The collection is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and art, as well as a tribute to the beloved characters of Pokémon!
If you missed out from the EQL do not be alarmed as there is another chance! EQL stated you’ll be available again beginning December 2023 at two Tiffany & Co locations: The Landmark in New York City and the brand’s Omotesando store in Tokyo!
