Lighters of this level were not mere tools, but sculptural high-class accessories intended for the jet-set of the era. Today, the few surviving specimens coated in intact green enamel are extremely sought after at international auctions of vintage jewelry due to the enamel’s fragility and the piece’s historical significance.
