THE ART OF SEDUCTION ACCORDING TO S.T.

DUPONT

Innovate, surprise people and facilitate their everyday lives... this could be the motto of the
S.T.Dupont design house.
The only French design house specialising luxury accessories for men, S.T.Dupont is a long-
standing designer of cufflinks, tie bars, belts and jewellery for businessmen looking for elegance
and quality.
Masculine and contemporary collections, constantly renewed, which combine the finest
materials with unrivalled know-how, the epitome of French luxury.
Close attention to detail and a concern for precision, making every S.T.Dupont accessory
unique and timeless.
No detail is left to chance. Every piece is a fine example of the metalsmith’s work, every tie pin,
every pair of cufflinks share the fine materials which are so emblematic of the company -
Chinese lacquer, palladium and precious or semi-precious stones.
The fruit of many hours of skilled work, with their potent design these products for men become
the constant companions of their owners.

Cufflinks and tie bars, from accessory to

jewellery

Chinese lacquer, precious metals, Diamond Head motif…

cufflinks and tie bars are transformed into dress jewellery.
Expertise in metalsmithing and lacquering constantly
reinterpreted to create resolutely masculine articles.
Off the beaten track, these daily-appreciated articles are also embellished with precious or
semi-precious stones, selected and cut by S.T.Dupont craftsmen. Bearers of a multiplicity of
symbols, they adorn their owner throughout the seasons.
The amethyst, translucent and mauve in colour and also known as the Bishop’s Stone,
symbolizes purity of heart, humility and wisdom. It is said to bring intellectual and psychological
balance.
Blue agate, for its part, is thought to be calming, a stone of stability. It has powers to promote a
focus on the essential things in life and is said to confer courage and self-acceptance.
Finally, Lapiz Lazuli, with its deep blue colour varying between azure and ultramarine, is a
symbol of wealth.
Stones which, when used in conjunction with metal, become real elements of seduction.

The belt, the successful alliance of leatherwork and metalwork.

The belt is the archetypal everyday accessory combining

functionality and elegance. It punctuates a suit, extends it.
An essential item, it follows the businessman whether in
formal or informal attire. Chic or casual, full grain leather
or textile, in smooth, grained or plaited leather and in
different colours, it can be adapted to any outfit.

S.T.Dupont offers a wide selection of adjustable and

reversible straps, as well as polished and hand-finished buckles made from palladium, yellow
gold, ruthenium or antique silver.
Every leather is different; over time every product will acquire a patina which will make it a
unique item.

"Feu Sacré ", homage to the company’s iconic lighter

In 2008, the company commissioned designer Stéphane Verdino

to create a highly contemporary reinterpretation of the history of
jewellery at S.T.Dupont.
"When I was approached by S.T.Dupont, it seemed very clear to me that the designs should
make reference to the brand’s origins, to its DNA." Stéphane
Verdino

It was naturally the celebrated Ligne 2 lighter with its perfect proportions which he was to use as
the standard for his creation of a simple and elegant collection. The links of the chains,
bracelets, key fobs and even the ring are a reinterpretation of the lighter's shape. Made from
solid silver, all these jewellery items will develop a patina and grow in beauty with ageing.

In the guise of a signature, one of the links is decorated with the Diamond Head, the design
house's iconic motif. As for the lighters and pens, master metalsmiths and skilled jewellers have
been involved in every step of this painstaking creative process.
