The Monopoly on pretty
loading...
Everyone's favourite boardgam, Monopoly, is celebrating its 70 th birthday. To celebrate, it has designed a sterling silver charm bracelet featuring all of the playing pieces. For £150 you can be the owner of this bracelet, which can also be ordered in gold. Since its conception by Charles Darrow, Monopoly has sold over 200 million games throughout 80 countries, and has been translated into 32 languages. It currently sells two million boards a year.
"We kept receiving orders for bespoke Monopoly pieces so we approached Hasbro International to see if we were allowed to make them," Stephen Riordan, of Riordan Goldsmiths & Silversmiths in Hampshire, told vogue.co.uk. "They liked the idea - and a charm bracelet seemed like the most fitting project for the birthday. It brings the story to a full circle." The bracelets have been made in a limited edition of 1,500 and each is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
