Designed to hold a small standard lighter, the sculptural case is wrapped with multiple rows of dark metal chain and centered with a raised skull and crossbones motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe skull is finished by hand in blue glitter enamel, creating an iridescent contrast against the dark gunmetal surface. Crossed bones extend beneath the skull, while substantial curb chains encircle the upper and lower sections of the holder, giving the compact object the character of a miniature piece of jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe design transforms an everyday lighter into a decorative accessory. Its combination of skull imagery, heavy chain and darkened metal draws on punk and rock-and-roll references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe skull and crossbones also connects the piece to the historic use of memento mori imagery in jewelry and decorative objects, where the skull serves as a reminder of mortality and the transience of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eHandmade in Paris in 2008, this lighter holder belongs to the early J DAUPHIN archive and reflects the designer’s experimentation with jewelry techniques applied beyond conventional bracelets, necklaces and rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eJ DAUPHIN was founded in 2006 by Swedish-French designer Johanna Dauphin, who began her career with FENDI and TOD’S in Italy.
