A really precious project

Ludovic Elens, optician and bespoke eyewear craftsman, and Moïse Mann, the jeweler from Manalys, were destined to meet. The two artisans speak the same language and adapt to each other's technical requirements: the result of their collab is a frame valued at 39.000,00 euro.

For eyewear craftsman Ludovic, it was necessary to prioritise an authentic material that will perfectly complement the precious stones (206 brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of 3.37 carats) selected by Manalys. They chose domestic Indian buffalo horn for this purpose. 

They had to find the best ways to combine it with the metal required by the jeweller (32g of white gold - 18K). But these are well-kept secrets!
