  • Making of – Pyrrha

    At Wolf & Badger we are curious by nature, so it is no surprise that we LOVE ‘behind the scenes’ videos. Furthermore knowing how the items are produced and how much effort and skill is put into creating them gives us a whole new level of appreciation. Naturally we were very excited when we saw this video which shows the process of making Pyrrha’s stunning jewellery.

    Each of Pyrrha’s jewellery is 100% hand crafted meaning that every piece is incredibly special and unique. They take pride in keeping the little “flaws” found in each wax seal which is a small reminder of the work that goes into each pendant, bracelet, earring and ring.

    In the video, you can see how they start the creative process by making a wax mould using original 19th century wax seals. This is then used to form the mould for the jewellery seals. After the mould is finished, they melt reclaimed silver, bronze or gold which is then cast into the bracelet. We were surprised to see how after the bracelet has been cast and how the metal goes through numerous processes to create an antique look. It is then finished off with a coat of wax and is polished for a nice shiny finish!

    We hope you enjoyed this “making of” and keep posted for more in the future!

  • Today we love… Gareth Pugh for MAC

    Gareth Pugh, one of Britain’s most celebrated and avant-garde designers, brings a touch of drama to your make up bag this Christmas with his exclusive range for MAC cosmetics. The partnership is a natural progression from their years of collaboration together for the designer’s catwalk shows and is the first time that Pugh has done something mainstream and commercial.

    The range is, in true Pugh style, dark and beautifully gothic. The colour palette is a mix of dark purples, violets and greys and covers everything from eyeshadows and lipsticks to nail polishes and even a make up bag. We especially love how they have kept the packaging in the classic MAC design but using a heavier material and stamping a simple, geometric cross on the front. Perfect for adding an edgy touch to your makeup bag!

    It’s extremely tough to choose our favourites but we will definitely make sure to get the dark plum lipstick and the super cool and limited edition ‘Flight Lashes’ before they’re gone!

    The collection is available now but is sure to fly off the shelves, especially just before Christmas, so make sure to hurry up if you love the collection as much as we do!
