In the 1920’s, Shanghai, which was also known as “the Pearl of the Orient”, was the scene of tremendous cultural blossoming which contributed to its mythical aura. At that time, Shanghai, which was one of the few ports in China that were open to the outside world, had become a flourishing financial and artistic center. Europeans, Russians, Japanese and Americans mixed with the Chinese in what was a cosmopolitan, vibrant society. This fascinating blend of cultures created a city whose streets and buildings combined aspects of neogothic, Art Deco, Victorian and neoclassical style in an atmosphere that was unique in the world.

The Limited Edition Shanghai, Dupont pays homage to the elegance and charm of Shanghai and the work of the European designers of the 1930s. The collection demonstrates the magnificent skills of S.T. Dupont’s master lacquerers and goldsmiths.

Taking luxury and refinement, S.T. Dupont has created an exclusive Diamante level with an exceptional and rare lighter. They combine an engraved piece in solid white gold set with sparkling diamonds, celadon green lacquer and a mixture of jades and alexandrites – stones that symbolize power.

This Diamond Edition is limited to 18 pieces worldwide
