“Throughout the films, Betelgeuse is dressed in a black and white suit, so we have dressed our collection in the same style to epitomise this,” said Liisa Tallgren, Fabergé’s Head of Design.
Fabergé has teamed up with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to launch a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice jewellery collection.
Led by Fabergé Creative Director, Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, the range was put together with input from director Tim Burton, costume designer Colleen Atwood and Fabergé’s Head of Design, Liisa Tallgren.
The collection spans 22 designs across earrings, pendants, lapel pins, collar bars and rings, inspired by the shape of a spiral – a motif prevalent in Tim Burton’s films. Each design also pays homage to a key theme or character from the upcoming Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film.
“I was inspired by the original Beetlejuice film, in which a character called Betelgeuse, the Afterlife’s leading Bio-exorcist, appears as an eerie creature with a carousel head and spiral arms that unwind to form arms with mallets for hands,” said Liisa Tallgren, Fabergé’s Head of Design.
“Throughout the films, Betelgeuse is dressed in a black and white suit, so we have dressed our collection in the same style to epitomise this. The green glow of the Afterlife is reflected in the Zambian emeralds, and the red Mozambican rubies are reminiscent of the red wedding dress and suit, both of which feature in one of Betelgeuse’s dreams.
“The world of Beetlejuice has mysterious black and white striped Sandworms with red eyes and green lips, again reflected in the use of rubies and emeralds, which have also inspired the spiralling snake rings. The collar bars in the collection are inspired by the Headworm, one of the forms that Betelgeuse takes to terrorise the living.”
Tim Burton added: “This collaboration with Fabergé is a very exciting opportunity to merge the world of Beetlejuice with the legendary jewellery house – I am very honoured.”
