Kazak pays homage to one of the most majestic animals on Earth, the ultimate symbol of strength and speed. Captured in clear satin finished crystal, the movement of their manes flying in the wind evokes a spirit of freedom and independence. Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
