London-based maison Faberge's high jewellery collection, inspired by the hugely popular, multiaward-winning television series, Game of Thrones, L has created a big buzz in jewellery circles round the world. Titled Fabergé x Game of Thrones High Jewellery, the collection has been developed in partnership with Michele Clapton, the Emmy- and BAFTA-winning costume designer of Game of Thrones, and Liisa Tallgren, Fabergé's Head of Design, overseen by Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, Creative Director, Faberge.
The jewellery collection is set to be launched in a series of 'chapters' over the next two years, with the creations being hailed as rare pieces of history in the making. Back in April 2021, Fabergé created the Fabergé x Game of Thrones Egg, a special one-of-a-kind bespoke objet d'art that coincided with the 10th anniversary of the debut episode of the hit series. It was bought by a private collector for $2.2 million. Picking up from there, Faberge thought of creating a more extensive series of wearable pieces inspired by the show.
AND THE MUSE IS THE DRAGONRIDING QUEEN, DAENERYS TARGARYEN
The high jewellery collection has incorporated design details from the dramatic sets, costumes, characters and the otherworldly landscape of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Each creation has been inspired by orphan-turned-warrior Daenerys Targaryen's incredible journey and her passion for her dragons, her ruthless pursuit of the Iron Throne, and her ability to use jewellery to showcase her power.
