Olivia Rodrigo’s Pyrrha Necklace at Daisy Chain Fields: The Lilith Talisman

Olivia Rodrigo wore the Pyrrha x Sarah McLachlan Lilith talisman throughout Daisy Chain Fields, including during her duet with Sarah McLachlan, when both artists wore the piece.

We came home from Daisy Chain Fields—with our 14 year old daughter in tow—still reeling with energy. An entire festival built around women, with an all-women lineup and a purpose that went far beyond the stage, felt amazing, but strangely overdue.

There was also something especially meaningful for us in seeing our Lilith talisman become part of that day. It drew a clear line back to Lilith Fair, the groundbreaking festival Sarah McLachlan created back in 1997 when we were just a couple of kids and Pyrrha was a fledgling brand. Daisy Chain Fields placed women at the centre and made their voices the point. It felt like the exact place for Lilith.

When we designed the Lilith talisman with Sarah, we were drawn to the way this long-misrepresented figure had been defined by others. Lilith is often treated as a warning about female independence. Sarah chose to reclaim her as the original feminist: a woman who refuses to be diminished or to surrender her belief in her own worth. A talisman does not give its wearer power. It reminds her of what is already hers. At Daisy Chain Fields, that meaning didn’t need explaining. Olivia wore Lilith at a festival she had created to support women and girls, surrounded by artists whose work is unmistakably their own. The talisman didn’t acquire its meaning because she wore it…her choice made that meaning visible.

One of our favourite moments happened backstage, when Mitski asked us if we had made her necklace (she was wearing Lilith) and introduced herself to us. Our daughter was thrilled. As parents, it’s exceedingly hard to impress your kids. Mitski is an artist with such a singular point of view, and seeing Lilith on someone whose work feels so completely her own brought the meaning of the talisman into focus again.

When Sarah joined Olivia onstage to perform “Building a Mystery” and “Angel,” (dedicated to Dolly Parton) both women were wearing their Lilith talismans. Watching them together was one of those rare moments when a piece we’d made seemed to speak for itself. The fact that they were both wearing Lilith made the connection between them visible.

“The Daisy Chain Fields Festival is still resonating with me. I’m so proud of Olivia and all that she accomplished and the money she raised for charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls. I loved that she and I were both wearing the Lilith Talisman for our performance together; it felt like a true full circle moment.”

Female empowerment has always mattered deeply to us at Pyrrha. It runs through the pieces we choose to create and the meanings that give them life. Women are still too often asked to make themselves smaller, quieter or easier to define. For us, empowerment begins with the right to define yourself and trust your own voice. Jewelry can make that conviction tangible. Worn close, a talisman becomes a quiet reminder on the days when it feels harder to access.

The Lilith Talisman also turns its meaning into action. We donate $100 from every talisman sold to the not-for-profit Sarah McLachlan School of Music, helping provide free music education to more than 2,000 children and youth each year who face barriers to access.

That connection matters to us: a piece about self-worth helping young people find their own voices through music.

We handcraft each Lilith Talisman from 100% recycled sterling silver in our zero-carbon Vancouver studio.
