It’s showtime! We have collaborated with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to introduce the Fabergé x Beetlejuice Beetlejuice® fine jewellery collection. This new collection pays homage to “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the visually singular and long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s award-winning film “Beetlejuice” (1988). “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” will be released only in theatres and IMAX, internationally beginning on 4th September 2024, and on 6thSeptember 2024 in the US.
“This collaboration with Fabergé is a very exciting opportunity to merge the world of Beetlejuice with the legendary jewellery house – I am very honoured.” – Tim Burton
A triad of co-designers and pioneering leaders in the creative industry have brought to life the eccentric universe of this collection, which marries the Fabergé and Beetlejuice worlds in an enchanting way. With a style so distinct that ‘Burtonesque’ has been coined as an adjective, Tim Burton has collaborated closely with world-renowned Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sleepy Hollow) and Fabergé Head of Design, Liisa Tallgren. Led by Fabergé Creative Director, Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, this ensemble of creative minds has come together to create a collection that encapsulates colour and craftsmanship and is set to capture the imagination of a new audience.
The collection comprises 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 iconic films, and by two eerie Beetlejuice characters: Headworm and Sandworm. Each piece features a responsibly mined Gemfields emerald or ruby, cut to be round, oval or pear-shaped. These colourful gemstones are surrounded by round brilliant-cut white diamonds. Each piece is painted with black, red or green UV enamel, the art of enamel being a craft technique synonymous with Fabergé.
These contemporary pieces can be styled alone or together as a set, with each design paying homage to a key theme or character from the upcoming “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” film. The colour palette has been carefully chosen to reflect the hues in the leading characters’ costumes.
“I was inspired by the original “Beetlejuice” film (1988), 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. 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.”
