Pyrrha Design is a jewelry design and manufacturing company based in Vancouver, Canada. Founded in response[1] to mass-manufactured jewelry, Pyrrha produces jewelry based on antique wax seals[2] and heraldic talismans. The company fabricates their products from reclaimed gold, sterling silver, and bronze using the traditional hand-crafting techniques, that have earned them a strong celebrity following.[3]
The company takes its name from Greek mythology, specifically the story of Pyrrha and Deucalion, and continues to work mythological, historical, and sentimental themes throughout everything it produces.
Pyrrha's flagship retail location[4] is in West Hollywood, California.
