The first piece in this collection is a pocket mirror, depicting a majestic peacock unfurling its unique plumage. Placed at the center of the motif, all the better to catch the eye, this elegantly regal animal symbolizes Pride, basking in its singular beauty.
Seven deadly sins - one beautiful collection
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iconic Jardin d’Eden collection, Christofle and Marcel Wanders studio are once again collaborating to present a special capsule collection based on the seven deadly sins, along with an exceptional Haute Orfèvrerie piece and new finishes. These new designs enrich the Jardin d’Eden collection, recognizable by its iconic signature motif: interlaced leaves, winding fleur-de-lis and a decorative apple against a geometric matrix, all evocative of a luxuriant garden.
Marcel Wanders studio is continuing the story of the Garden of Eden and once more reinterpreting the theme of temptation and the seven deadly sins with a collection of silver-plated accessories showcasing the luxuriant garden. Inspiration was drawn from Dante’s work, “The Divine Comedy.” Lost in the wild forest of sin, the poet goes on an imaginary journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. With a particular interest in the story of Purgatory, defined by Dante as the most human place between heaven and hell. This in-between place is where souls who are sorry for their sins can redeem themselves.
These sins are characterized as the seven deadly sins:
Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust.
The seven silver-plated pieces presented today illustrate these seven deadly sins, each of which is also symbolized by an animal. Each animal is invited to enter the fantastical decoration of the luxuriant garden, created and hand-designed by Marcel Wanders studio, featuring a wealth of arabesques and sensual volutes.
A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR SWEET « SIN »
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Collection Jardin d'Eden, try your luck to win one of the 7 objects of the anniversary series "The 7 deadly sins" illustrated by 7 emblematic animals. An angry lion, a proud peacock or a gluttonous bear? Make your choice!
LION IS WRATH
A pair of shot glasses depicting a lion that embodies Anger. The king of the jungle symbolizes power and courage, along with ferocious anger toward its prey. This set of two glasses offers an invitation to hedonistic pleasures; everyone can express their strength, in small doses!
GOAT IS LUST
Last but not least, the sin of Lust is symbolized by a set of three engraved dice, each with a face illustrated with an insatiable goat, turning Lust into a game. This flirty and playful game for two or more is played with three dice. Throw the dice. The first dice will tell you which action to do (Tease, Bite, Lick, Kiss, Touch), the second, the part of the body to do it on (cheek, neck, lips, ear, hand) and the third, how to do it (soft, slow, hard, fast, loud). Joker: if the die lands on the face with the goat, you get to choose the action, area and way you wish.

Crafted in lambskin embossed with the Jardin d’Eden motif, it holds the entire anniversary collection of the seven deadly sins in an exclusive version with a rose gold finish.
