I Lalique crystal  They originated from the idea of René Lalique, a French jeweler and glassmaker. 

Throughout his career, he collaborated with several important brands, such as Cartier and Boucheron, but his first true research into glass began in 1890, when he created elements for jewelry while also studying enameling and engraving techniques. 

In 1921, he founded his glassworks in Alsace, which remains the only Lalique factory in the world. 

In the mid-1920s, the arrival of Art Deco marked the culmination of his career. Thanks in part to his techniques, he created a style expressed through the contrast between transparent and opaque glass. 

The crystals feature designs inspired by three themes dear to René: women, flora, and fauna. 

The company he founded continues its tradition to this day, working with jewelry, perfumes, interior decoration, and artistic glass creations. It still embodies French luxury, reflected in the splendor of its jewelry, the wonder of transparency, and the brilliance of crystal.
