Dutch Metal Band Within Temptation has teamed up with local jewelry designer Gem Kingdom to release a set of silver pendants inspired by the popular band and their upcoming album Hydra. After lead singer Sharon Den Adel admitted to being a fan of their jewelry, Gem Kingdom worked with the band to create these his-and-her guitar pick inspired pendants with the band’s initials blended into the design.
Within Temptation has maintained a large following all over the world, and especially in Europe where much of heavy metal’s modern fan base resides. These beautiful necklaces are as much to commemorate the band’s longevity as they’re new album, due out in Spring of 2014. The pendants are great accessories for guys and glass who want to rock out in their heavy metal wardrobe of spikes, studs, black and band shirts.
