Dupont Creates World’s Most Expensive Lighter

Tue, July 21st 2009, 00:43 EST
Dupont-Diamond-Lighter

Paris, France -- Parisian luxury goods designer S.T. Dupont has been created ultra-deluxe, ultra-expensive items since 1872.  Having designed pieces for Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Windsor, Dupont was called upon to provide the devices carried by Daniel Craig as James Bond in the movie “Casino Royale”. 

Now, Dupont has sired an accessory truly worthy of 007: The Ligne 2 Champagne Lighter.  Part of their Prestige Collection, this little item is made of solid 18-karat white gold and adorned with 468 brilliant-cut diamonds.  For only $79,000, you, too, can offer a light to someone, dazzling them with the natural fire of hundreds of diamonds.

Also part of this collection is the Diamond Rain Lighter, made of Rhodium-flashed 18-karat white gold.  It is set with 1098 diamonds totaling 12.1 carats.  While only 352 of these were made, it is less costly at only $76,000.  Each lighter is meticulously worked to not only have the signature Dupont clean lines and infallible mechanism, but to also make a “cling” sound when the cap is opened.  If the “cling” is not right, the lighter will be reworked, regardless of how long it takes, until the sound meets the Dupont standards.

The lighters in the Prestige Collection also have matching fountain pens.  For a match worthy of the Ligne 2 Champagne Lighter, Dupont created a solid 18-carat white gold piece with rhodium trim and 502 brilliant-cut diamonds.  This masterpiece sells for $74,000.

These items are typical of the meticulously-crafted, ultra-luxe brand Dupont.
