The Crystal & Diamonds edition brings together noble and precious materials in an alliance of light and shade. The gold cap is coated in ruthenium with deep black reflections that complement the body carved in white gold.

The droplets spread over the instrument in a cascade of precious stones: some 340 diamonds weighing almost 3 carats bring their stunning purity to the motif. They have been chosen from the most beautiful gems of Top Wesselton WS quality and their sparking prisms flood the pen in an aura of fascinating reflections. The lighting effect is complete with the beauty of the satin-brushed crystal cabochon and ring.

An ink bottle sprinkled with droplets symbolises the meeting of the two companies. While the ink droplets wait to be applied to paper, the crystal droplets provide a satin-brushed transparency. Each bottle is a unique piece since it is made by hand with the lost-wax process, an ancient method of casting sculptures in bronze, favoured by René Lalique. On the base, a diamond-engraved signature typifies the refinement of a limited edition at the meeting of the arts.
