Ascendant craftsman Philip Gefaell has reimagined a childhood icon into a sumptuous art piece: a Pokéball pendant meticulously crafted in 18K white gold. The exterior features delicate circuit-board-inspired engravings, referencing Daniel Arsham’s “Future Relic” aesthetic to elevate the design into a futuristic heirloom.
Precious Materials & Intricate Details
This luxurious pendant is set with natural VVS diamonds and rare green demantoid garnets, underscoring Gefaell’s dedication to the highest standards of fine jewelry. Upon opening the Pokéball, wearers are greeted by a miniature hand-sculpted Sceptile, further merging nostalgia with artisanal excellence.
A Statement of Craft and Culture
Priced at an estimate of $25,000 USD, the piece stands out both as a collector’s item and a couture statement. Gefaell sources materials from the same elite suppliers trusted by legendary maisons like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Bulgari, cementing his status in the world of luxury craftsmanship.
What’s Next for Gefaell
This Pokéball pendant marks a significant debut in Gefaell’s ascending career. Already, his work is slated for upcoming auctions in Hong Kong, and he has secured bespoke commissions from high-profile clients valued between $300,000 and over $1 million USD.
