Grande Rarité – Éclat d’Or, Crystals
Grande Rarité – Éclat d’Or, Crystals with Genuine 24K Gold, Strictly Limited
Grande Rarité
An old expression for a rarity born of a world far older than our own.
The most exceptional creation to emerge from our atelier. Nature, crystal and gold in their rarest form.
Only a few hundred kilograms exist worldwide each year. The greater part never reaches the open market.
Grande Rarité crystals present Persian Blue Salt in its most original form: large, unbroken and possessing an exceptional natural presence. At approximately 3–6 cm, they reveal the refraction of light, transparency and rare blue and violet nuances with particular intensity. Depending on the light, the crystals range from crystal clear through petrol and sapphire blue to deep royal blue or intense amethyst violet. No two crystals are alike.
In our Swiss atelier, every individual crystal is selected and examined by hand before being finished with genuine 24K gold. The warm golden lustre unites with the natural blue and violet nuances in an interplay of light, minerality and colour that is unique in the world.
The crystals are not intended for direct finishing. Ideally, they are crushed by hand in a high-quality mortar before use.
A natural phenomenon of breathtaking beauty. Finished with genuine 24K gold. Formed millions of years ago.
