These jewelry designs will be offered through a network of over 10,000 brick and mortar retail partners and associated e-commerce sites.

"Hasbro's branded properties are legendary and proving extremely popular within our jewelry creations. Consumers of all age groups immediately recognize the CANDY LAND, SCRABBLE and MY LITTLE PONY iconography, and will now be able to wear their favorite designs and themes within our licensed jewelry collections."

The psychographic audiences for these collections scan between tween to mature consumers worldwide. A key, targeted segment is within the 24-34 U.S. female market as influencers and purchasers. No matter the age, the jewelry speaks to fun, family and fashion. Each jewelry creation is fresh, colorful and spirited while being masterfully executed by World Trade Jewelers for Hasbro.

SCRABBLE
