The ‘Fabergé x Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Collection is Scary Chic
It’s showtime for these jewels, inspired by the motifs and color palette of the new Tim Burton film.
The “Fabergé x Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” collection features 22 jewels inspired by the new film.
New York—The new “Fabergé x Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” jewelry collection is an artful blend of spooky elegance.
The jewels are an ode to “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the highly-anticipated sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 “Beetlejuice” film, debuting today.
“This collaboration with Fabergé is a very exciting opportunity to merge the world of Beetlejuice with the legendary jewelry house. I am very honored,” said Burton.
Burton’s movies, which include “Edward Scissorhands” and “Corpse Bride,” have a distinct style, referred to as “Burtonesque.”
Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood is well acquainted with the style, having worked on Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” and “Sleepy Hollow,” and helped to bring it to this collection.
Atwood worked with Fabergé Head of Design Liisa Tallgren and Fabergé Creative Director Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell on the capsule collection.
“This ensemble of creative minds has come together to create a collection that encapsulates color and craftsmanship and is set to capture the imagination of a new audience,” said Fabergé.
The 22-piece collection includes 18-karat white gold earrings, pendants, rings, lapel pins, and collar bars, all paying homage to the film and its colorful characters.

The Sandworm spiral wrap ring in 18-karat white gold with green enamel and an emerald ($19,100)
The collection features a spiral motif, like in this spiral bombe ring ($20,600), because it’s a hallmark of the “Burtonesque” style of “Beetlejuice” director Tim Burton.
A pair of earrings that blend Fabergé’s iconic egg motif with Burton’s signature spirals ($14,800)
The Fabergé x Beetlejuice Beetlejuice collection features 22 jewels, including this pendant ($13,300).
The striped monochrome, seen here in this spiral wrap ring ($13,600), is a nod to Betelgeuse’s iconic suit, the Sandworms, and the floors in the corridor of the afterlife.
This collar bar was inspired by the Headworm, one of the forms Betelgeuse can take to scare the living ($16,000).
An 18-karat white gold, emerald, and diamond spiral lapel pin ($8,500)
“In every partnership we forge, we look for like-minded care and attention to creativity and a fearless commitment to challenging the status quo, and in the process, offer something unexpected and surprising,” said von dem Bussche-Kessell.
“Colleen and Tim are true innovators and creative geniuses in their storytelling, and together we have created a collection which is modern and humorous and pays homage to their work on the big screen. It has been an extremely harmonious collaboration, filled with pure joy all the way. I am very proud of what we’ve achieved together.”
Tallgren, head of design at Fabergé, was inspired by the colors and motifs of the original film, incorporating spirals in black and white with splashes of red and green, represented by enamel as well as rubies and emeralds.
The spiral is a recurring motif in Burton’s films, as seen in the Beetlejuice creatures Headworm and Sandworm and the title character’s spiraling arms.
Fans of the original will remember the black-and-white striped suit worn by leading afterlife bio-exorcist Betelgeuse, the monochrome black-and-white Sandworm with its red eyes and green lips, and the black and white floors in the hallways of the afterlife.
The emeralds represent the green glow of the afterlife while the rubies are a nod to Lydia Deetz’ red wedding dress, said Tallgren.
Each piece is set with a round-, oval-, or pear-shaped emerald or ruby from Gemfields, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds.
The rubies are from Montepuez Ruby Mining in Mozambique, while the emeralds are from Kagem Mining in Zambia, which are both majority owned and operated by Gemfields.
“The collar bars in the collection are inspired by the Headworm, one of the forms that Betelgeuse takes to terrorize the living,” explained Tallgren.
In the bombe rings, the gemstone set in the center of the spiral shape is reminiscent of the center of a vortex.
Fabergé’s iconic egg motif is also found in the spiral drop earrings and pendants.
“Costume design and Fabergé go together like kindred spirits,” said Atwood, noting that both are constantly evolving.
“A quirky sense of fun is reflected in this collection and the hypnotic spirals and characterful motifs epitomize the spirit of ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.’”
The jewels range in price from £6,800 to £16,500 ($8,442 to $20,520).
The collection debuted Aug. 20 with limited stock available at launch, followed by pre-orders. It is available online at Fabergé’s website and Saks.com as well as via Fabergé’s appointment-only service.
