JEWELLERY, BY BACCARAT…
The story of Baccarat, synonymous with crystal, began in 1764, in a small hamlet of that name in the Vosges region, France.
Founded by King Louis XVth, the local crystal works rapidly expanded to become the finest crystal manufacturer and distributor, thus adorning the palaces and residences of Kings and Queens worldwide with breathtaking chandeliers, stemware and table accessories.
Today, the crystal creations have evolved and Baccarat jewellery is at the forefront of luxury in crystal. Baccarat crystal, adorned with precious stones, 18ct gold and sterling silver form the core of the collection.
THE MAGIC OF CRYSTAL
Born of fire, crystal is shaped by the blow of the human breath. The most fascinating part is hot working, which demands the utmost dexterity and an unfailing eye.
A symphony of colours that keeps growing richer from year to year offsets the colourless clear crystal resembling limpid water forever frozen.
Contrary to all other colours developed using metal oxides, Baccarat’s famous emblematic ‘ruby red’ is obtained by adding pure gold. This full lead crystal, incomparable in terms of radiance and limpidity, outshines all others.
Baccarat crystal is one of the most prestigious French products and perfection is what distinguishes Baccarat from others. All aspects are closely verified, as imperfection is not allowed. Baccarat always utilises the purest elements, combining them with an extraordinary know-how that has no equal in the world.
Baccarat has often opened its doors to celebrated designers such as George Chevalier, Salvador Dali, Jaime Hayon, Phillipe Stark, Thomas Bastide and Stefano Poletti (designer of the latest jewellery collection Pampilles). This subtle combination of traditional artistic methods together with innovation and sophisticated avant-garde technology makes Baccarat the best in luxury and elegance. This art is the vessel that bears a timeless culture whose roots of savoir-faire, tradition and design are now, even two centuries on, more full of life than ever.
