RIGARDS MODEL RG1009TI

EYEWEAR

Our mission was to create a functional jewelry for the face by combining time-honored craft, traditional goldsmithing and modern machining. The RG1009TI was created as an homage to the art of guilloché, an ancient decorative technique in which a very precise and intricate pattern is manually engraved into an underlying material via engine turning. Today, there are only a handful of craftsmen that are skilled in guilloché. The frame is crafted from single-source, recycled titanium to maximize sustainability, as opposed to using cellulose acetate (plastic) which is popular. We successfully promoted and applied an ancient craft onto titanium.
