The limited edition Stones collection is an ode to beautiful gems and exceptional women. This collection is illustrated through a family narrative, where the three candles appear through the powerful names Marble, Agate, and Lazuli: the Stones sisters.
STONES - THE GREAT STORY
Marble Stones, Agate Stones, and Lazuli Stones are the three beautiful daughters of Charles Stones, a notorious stone merchant from Antwerp who mysteriously disappeared in the Amazon. Originally from Antwerp, Charles grew up in Brussels in a stunning home designed by Victor Horta, famous Art Nouveau Belgian Architect.
Originally a diamond trader, he later chose to expand his family business to include the trade of semi-precious stones marble, quartz, agate, and tourmaline.
His elegance and powers of seduction lead to many romantic exploits…
From his first marriage to a Flemish aristocrat, he has a first daughter named Marble. Marble, with her blond locks and fair skin, supports and expands on the iconic Belgian codes of interior decoration where minimalism and graphic touches reign, and blacks flirt with greys, beiges and taupes. She also collects totems that her sister Lazuli brings her and looks for new objects and abstract forms that she shows as sculptures.
Charles Stones leaves Marble’s mother a few years later to settle in Rio de Janeiro, where he falls in love with a Brazilian woman named Ouro Preto. A year later, Agate is born. Her copper skin renders her green eyes piercing. Her feline allure will lead her to pose for the most influential fashion photographers worldwide.
Charles loses Agate’s mother in a helicopter accident and carries the pain of that loss with him as he searches for new mines. He finds his third great love in Tanzania, where a passionate and brief love affair will lead to the birth of his third and last daughter, Lazuli.
Who are the three Stones sisters? They are enigmatic characters with many facets, full of idealism. Fascinated by travel, art and decoration, they embody the multi-dimensional nature of modern women.
They all get their fragrances custom-made at a secret location in the Sablons neighborhood of Brussels where they meet every year to celebrate Christmas. In a wave of nostalgia, they imagine, if only for a minute, that the father that they idealized their whole lives could still be alive… somewhere.
