Legendary rockers STYX–Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Chuck Panozzo, Lawrence Gowan, Ricky Phillips and Todd Sucherman—have teamed up with jewelry designer Diana Warner (www.dianawarnerstudio.comto create the “Diana Warner for Styx” jewelry collection, which was made available exclusively on the band’s official website just in time for holiday shopping.

Each piece is hand-made in Diana Warner’s New York City studio, with prices ranging from $55-$200.  The first items available are eight dog tag necklaces made of 30 inch chains of gunmetal, antique gold or antique silver plate over brass.  The charms are made of pewter and rose gold, gunmetal, antique gold or antique silver.  They’ll also be selling guitar pick earrings available in 4 finishes:  gunmetal, rose gold, antique gold and antique silver, as well as antique gold and silver charms with one of the band’s well-recognized lyrics, “Come Sail Away With Me.”

This is only the first part of the “Diana Warner for Styx” collection.  Multiple styles of limited edition charms will be created in 2012, which will be sold in a small number and will be considered collector’s items.  A full line of “Diana Warner for Styx” jewelry will be made available in 2012.  This is the first collection Diana has designed for a band and collaborated on this project with singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw’s wife, Jeanne Shaw.

“The second we saw Diana’s pieces, we knew we wanted to work with her,” says Jeanne.  “We’re so thrilled to be able to offer something very special to STYX’s fans that’s worlds different than anything we’ve done before.  We hope they love the collection as much as we do.”
