From the dawn of time, S.T.Dupont has created exceptional pieces for kings, emperors, maharajahs, then for people of power and influence, for collectors looking for exceptional and exclusive products. S.T.Dupont continues this tradition by going into partnership with Philippe Tournaire, jeweler, designer and creator in order to create works of art.

S.T.Dupont is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Haute Creations Series by paying tribute to 11 iconic places around the world. Paris – the Company’s Home – makes up over a quarter of the 23 new pieces being introduced:

• Maison S.T. Dupont, in collaboration with master jeweler 2Saints, has hand-crafted the newest architecture collection. Fashioned from silver, the pen features stunning, elaborate filigree overlays over colored lacquer. The pen comes with two caps, one topped with a stunning silver model of the Taj Mahal supported by elephants. The elaborate base serves as a pen stand and as a stand for the cap not currently in use and is hand-patinated for optimal contrast.

• The Taj Mahal is a marble mausoleum commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Majal. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being “the Jewel of Muslim Art in India” and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage. It is a symbol of India’s rich history and regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture in the world.
