Summary
Pokemonis no stranger to teaming up with high-end brands for expensive merch. We’re only just coming off the back ofa cookware collaboration with La Creusetthat includes a cast iron pot priced at more than $300. Now there’s a selection of King Ice Pokemon necklaces you can wear while you cook stuff in your expensive Pokemon pots. The collection has turned five popular Pokemon into sparkly $150 necklaces, and there are a couple of cheaper options included for anyone who might like the look of the collection but doesn’t want to spend quite that much.
The five Pokemon included are the usual suspects when it comes to merch. Pikachu (naturally), Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, and Eevee. Each of the pendants on the necklace features the Pokemon’s face covered in hundreds of shiny stones and given a 14K gold finish. All of them have a tiny Pokeball perched on top of their heads covered in the same stones. Each pendant is on a 22-inch gold link chain and comes packaged in a Pokemon x King Ice branded display box.
The four necklaces themed after particular Pokemon are the ones that will cost you $150 each. If you want to spend less, there’s an $80 option which just comes with the Pokeball that’s a part of the other five necklaces. Priced at $80, the Pokeball option has a black gold finish instead of a 14K gold one, and a regular link chain rather than a gold one. Also in King Ice’s $80 black gold range is a Pokeball tennis chain. No pendant on this one but instead of a plain chain, the necklace is studded with the same stones you’ll find on the pendants, designed to mimmick the black, red, and white color scheme of a Pokeball.
Pikachu’s Face Covered In Sparkly Stones
King Ice x Pokemon Pikachu Necklace
The headliner of Pokemon’s collaboration with King Ice is its Pikachu pendant. On the end of its 22-inch gold chain is a Pikachu head pendant covered in gemstones with a 14K gold finish. A Pokeball given the same treatment is perched atop the Pokemon’s head.
Everything in the Pokemon x King Ice rangeis available now and although there isn’t a firm end date on how long it will be available, or how much stock there is, prior collabs suggest Pokemon’s necklaces will be sticking around. This isn’t King Ice’s first video game collab.The jewelry brand has a Sonic collectionthat turned the blue blur, as well as some of his friends and enemies, into necklaces similar to the ones in the Pokemon collection. All of the Sonic pieces are still in stock or have been restocked after their first run.
Pokemon fans with the money to do so have been given a lot of chances to deck themselves in officially licensed, and very expensive, jewelry recently. At the end of 2023,Pokemon launched a Tiffany and Co. collectionthat was headlined by a solid gold, diamond-studded Pikachu pendant priced at more than $30,000. By comparison, King Ice’s necklaces are an absolute bargain.
