A jeweler from Łódź is making headlines worldwide. He created Pokémon-inspired jewelry.

Jeweler Philip Gefaell from Łódź presented a futuristic pendant referring to the cult TV series "Pokémon" and... delighted the world.

Pokémon first appeared in 1996, and they've been popular ever since. We've had games , anime series , feature films , toys , and the famous Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The colorful creatures, with Pikachu at the forefront, are still fashionable, but today they're attracting the attention not only of young people but also of adults raised on the series. A major Pokémon-Lego collaboration has been announced for this year. The mere thought of it has millennials rubbing their hands together. But there's also something for fans of something more classic.

The creator used natural VVS clarity diamonds and rare green demantoid garnets .

Let's not forget that the pendant represents a Pokéball , which means it can't be empty. And, of course, upon opening it, we discover a miniature, hand-carved Sceptile figurine.

The price of this unique item is approximately $25,000 (approximately 100,000 złoty). We have a feeling it will go to a true fan of the series about the adventures of 10-year-old Ash Ketchum from Alabastia .
