ÉCLAT D’ART
Handcrafted rhinestone portraits. The photograph that matters most to you, rebuilt by hand in tens of thousands of crystals.
We do not print an image. We rebuild it, one crystal at a time, until it holds the light of the person in it.
Four sizes of custom rhinestone portrait
The larger the work, the more crystals it holds and the finer the likeness. Below, each size drawn to scale against the others. Each commission is made once, for one family, and never reproduced.
Format A4
One face, or a beloved companion. Made for a desk, a dressing room, a nursery.
Format A3
A portrait to live with every day: a hallway, a study, a bedside wall.
Format A2
Our signature format. The likeness holds at a glance and rewards a closer look.
Format A1
Couples, siblings, family groups. A crystal portrait artwork for a principal wall.
From your photograph to a crystal portrait
A commission takes six to ten weeks. You approve the tonal study before a single crystal is placed.
- I
The photograph
You send the image that matters. We advise on light, angle and resolution, and accept people, couples and animals.
- II
The tonal study
The atelier translates your photograph into a map of crystal tones on black, stone by stone, and sends it for your approval.
- III
The setting
Each rhinestone is placed by hand on the prepared canvas, following the study row by row, over several weeks.
- IV
The certification
The portrait is signed and entered in the registry. Its certificate is stamped in gold foil and sealed in wax.
- V
The delivery
Framed under museum glass and presented in a lined case, with the authenticity card and the sealed envelope.
Your portrait's private salon
Every portrait has its own private page: its certificate, its authenticity card and its full history with the atelier. Open it with the registry number and private code printed on the reverse of your card.
