We fell in love with these vintage gold plated Lalique necklaces with a double heart pendant. They feature a beautifully colored crystal LALIQUE puffed glass heart overlaying a gold laser cut heart. The necklaces are new, old stock in their original boxes. Sourced from a brocante in Aix-en-Provence. Sold individually. 

Lalique, the renowned French crystal manufacturer, has a rich history that dates back over a century. The company was founded by René Lalique, a talented glass artist and jewelry designer, in the late 19th century. Lalique's initial focus was on creating exquisite jewelry pieces characterized by their intricate designs and exceptional craftsmanship. However, as Lalique's reputation grew, the company expanded its offerings to include stunning crystal creations, ranging from vases and chandeliers to decorative objects and perfume bottles.

Today, Lalique crystal remains highly coveted for several reasons. Firstly, their crystal pieces are known for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Lalique artisans employ traditional glassmaking techniques combined with innovative craftsmanship to produce exquisite creations that capture the beauty and elegance of the designs. Secondly, Lalique crystal is highly sought after for its distinctive style, which often incorporates natural motifs, such as flora, fauna, and mythical creatures. The delicate yet powerful designs evoke a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication. Finally, Lalique crystal has become synonymous with luxury and prestige.
