Ren Jules Lalique (1860 1945) was born a

rural 19th century man in a pre-industrialized
Europe. It was a time before light bulbs, and
telephones, before automobiles and washing
machines and electricity. But by the time of his
death in 1945 at the dawn of the atomic age,
he would have completed two careers
spanning two different centuries. In 1900 at the
age of 40, he was the most celebrated jeweler
in the world and an art nouveau artist and
designer of magnificent proportions. But by
1925 at the height of the art deco era he was
the most celebrated glassmaker in the world.

In between Lalique would leave his contemporaries behind as he turned from

creating unique jewelry and objects d'art, to the mass production of innovative and
usable art glass. He brought glass into the home of everyday people where it had
never been before, and he worked out the industrial techniques to mass produce his
useful art glass objects on a scale and cost to complement the spreading industrial
revolution and resulting worldwide appetite for his products.

The amazing creations by Ren Lalique often

referred to as the "Sculptor of Light", the
exquisite designer of jewelry and precious
glassware, mainly depict natural elements,
animals and female nudes, in the typical Art
Nouveau and Art Deco styles.

seems mobile and alive", commented a contemporary when the work was exhibited at
the Salon de la Socit des Artistes Franais in 1897.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Ren

Lalique's birth, LALIQUE is paying him tribute
with the creation of a unique and exceptional
never-before-made necklace, based on a design
from 1898-1900. One hundred and twenty
years later, this item of jewellery is
astoundingly
modern
and
once
again
demonstrates the genius and multi-faceted
talent of its creator: jeweller, glassmaker and
architect in one - in short, a designer before the
term existed...

No fewer than 812 stones, diamonds and emeralds with

a total weight of 17.90 carats, make up the
ornamentation of this magnificent white gold necklace
created from an original design by Ren Lalique.
Slightly flexible, thanks to an articulated device hidden
inside the serpent, it hugs the neck in a perfect fit.
Particular attention has been paid to the choice of the
stones of which it is made: they are exceptional gems of
the highest quality, such as the D-IF pear diamond
adorning the snakes head and the two emerald eyes.
This wonderful example of fine jewellery craftsmanship
required more than 700 hours of work.
