Pyrrha

Soon after meeting in 1993, Wade and Danielle Papin began handcrafting jewellery at their kitchen table in Vancouver. With a shared appreciation for good design and antiquities, as well as backgrounds in architecture, journalism, music and photography, the pair founded Pyrrha, a jewellery brand with a difference. Having learnt sophisticated skills in soldering and silver smithing from books and informal tutorials, the duo continued designing and creating jewellery, in particular talismans, based around a range of 19th century wax seals they found at an estate sale.
