Meet the Artist: Welcoming Pyrrha to the Gallery

We’re thrilled to welcome Pyrrha to Green Lake Gallery—an award-winning jewelry brand that’s redefining what it means to wear something meaningful. Known for their handcrafted talisman jewelry, Pyrrha brings together old-world symbolism, sustainable practices, and deep emotional resonance in every piece. If you’re someone who finds power in personal stories, symbolism, and sustainable craftsmanship, you’ll instantly connect with this extraordinary collection.

Jewelry with Meaning, Crafted with Purpose

Pyrrha’s journey began with a box of antique wax seals—fragile, timeworn relics that sparked a new kind of artistry. Inspired by the historic designs and their symbolic language, founders Wade Papin and Danielle Wilmore set out to create jewelry that not only honors the past but helps people tell their own stories today.

Each Pyrrha talisman is cast using reclaimed precious metals and features imagery designed in-house, rich with intention. Whether it’s courage, resilience, love, or transformation you’re seeking, there’s a piece in their collection that speaks to it. Customers often say their Pyrrha jewelry feels like a touchstone—something they turn to for strength, comfort, or simply a reminder of who they are.

 

Sustainability, Certified

Pyrrha stands out in the fine jewelry world not just for their meaningful designs, but for their unwavering commitment to ethical craftsmanship. Every piece is made under one roof in their certified zero-carbon studio in Vancouver, powered by geothermal energy and built with cross-laminated timber. Unlike many brands that outsource production, Pyrrha’s entire process—from design to finishing—is handled in-house. This guarantees quality, accountability, and a dramatically lower environmental footprint.

They’re proud to hold B Corp, Responsible Jewelry Council, and 1% for the Planet certifications, among others—ensuring their values align with those of conscious customers.

We want Pyrrha to reflect our personal belief that we should tread lightly on the earth. We’re acutely aware of the havoc that the conventional jewelry industry wreaks, and we want to inspire other companies to be more accountable, transparent, and better for the world. We consider the environmental impact of everything we do and we’re committed to always trying to improve.
