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.

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.
