Pyrrha Collection

From their Vancouver studio, designers Danielle and Wade Papin, along with their team of artisans, handcraft the symbolic talismans that have become the Pyrrha signature. Inspired by 18th and 19th-century wax impressions and imagery, Pyrrha evolved from a desire to breathe new life and permanence into a crumbling piece of antiquity. Each design is rich with meaning culled from heraldry and celebrates everything that connects and inspires us.
Pyrrha embraces the imperfections and history of each piece, handcrafting its jewelry using the time-honored, old-world technique of lost wax casting. With designs that proudly show the maker’s hand, every design is a reflection of the processes and people that crafted it.
Pyrrha has made it a priority to create unique designs that can be treasured for generations. In a world of fast fashion, Pyrrha has distinguished itself with its high-quality products and a firm commitment to sustainability.
This talisman reads ‘Luctor et Emergo’ which is Latin for ‘I Struggle and Emerge.’ The wolf atop a mountain symbolizes the relief, joy, and triumph of the spirit as we surmount life’s challenges.
