Season four of Game of Thrones is coming and what's a better way to celebrate fandom than by creating a Game of Thrones jewelry line? HBO has teamed up with a Vancouver-based jewelers 'Pyrrha.'
Pyrrha is known for its mid-century-inspired craftsmanship, so it is more than the appropriate pick for the medieval collection. The line will consist of talisman necklaces and rings that each represents a house in the show’s fictional world of Westeros — Targaryen, Stark, Baratheron, Tyrell, Lannister and Greyjoy.
The line will not just be fanfare -- the designers said that they want it to be "proper jewelry." Thus, they will not be cheap and will consist of sterling silver and bronze pieces. They will be available online with prices from $98 to $900.
