NY 5th Avenue Diamants
The Limited Edition New York 5th Avenue, continues our world tour of the decorative arts.
This time S.T.Dupont pays tribute to New York and the famous French interior designers who, during the 30s and 40s, decorated the private apartments and offices of the elite who lived in the Upper East Side and 5th Avenue.
The New York 5th Avenue collection is composed of a pen and a lighter, decorated with solid white gold grills set with white diamonds, glittering with all their splendour on the hand-chased surfaces.
One hundred and twenty hours of work and the craft of 100 hands are required to produce each lighter, set with 175 diamonds meticulously cut and chosen by our master setters. The juxtaposition of pearl grey and charcoal grey lacquers, layer after layer meticulously applied by hand, bears witness to the century old know-how of the Brand.
The New York 5th Avenue pen, set with 125 diamonds, is the fruit of 160 hours of work, including lacquering and drying, chasing the grill and clip, working guilloche detailing on the metal, polishing and setting; all these highly confidential operations are carried out by our most expert craftsmen.
These two objects, true works of art illustrating the skill of crafting gold and silver and precious jewels, are limited to 20 articles of each item.
