Lalique crystal creations stem from the vision 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 occurred in 1890 when he created elements for jewelry, also studying enameling and engraving techniques. In 1921, he founded his glassworks in Alsace, which is still the only Lalique factory in the world. In the mid-1920s, the advent of Art Deco marked the culmination of his career, and thanks 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 long tradition, still producing jewelry, perfumes, interior decorations, and artistic glass creations today. It remains a symbolic expression of French luxury, admired for the splendor of its jewelry, the wonder of its transparency, and the brilliance of its crystal.
