Nature has been unequalled in the creative power ever since life began. By breaking up and reorganising atoms and constantly renewing itself, it creates new materials with unique forms and colours that add to the marvels of the natural world.
S.T. Dupont wishes to pay tribute to Nature via “Inspiration Nature”, a collection of contemporary, geometric pieces. The animal, vegetable and mineral worlds are represented by precious inlays of mother-of-pearl, ebony and hematite which combine seamlessly with the polished sheen of platinum.
Mother-of-pearl is a hard, shiny, organic substance with iridescent, silky reflections.
Mother-of-pearl used for the inlays in this series comes from Indonesia.
Hematite is a mineral whose discovery changed the course of history. It is in fact the chief source of iron. When used in jewellery, hematite reveals its metallic glow and brilliant dark colour.
Ebony, a costly extremely dark hard wood, comes from tropical West Africa or Monsoon Asia.
The inlaid ebony of this Limited Edition is exported from the port of Macassar.
