What says I have money to burn better than a $200,000 crystal bottle for your Bombay Sapphire? Released in London, and designed by top designer Karim Rashid, the bottle is the first of a five piece collection, entitled Revelation. The bottles are handcrafted in France by Baccarat and topped with a stopper which has been set with sapphires and diamonds by legendary jeweler Garrard. The proceeds from the sale of the collection will go to benefit The Smile Train, which performs cleft surgery in 3rd world countries.
Reflecting the global popularity of Bombay Sapphire, the limited edition Revelation bottles will be launched at five major international airport locations – starting with London Heathrow airport on March 27th, to coincide with the opening of the new terminal five and subsequently New York, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney. One Revelation bottle will be exhibited at each of the five international airports for two to three months before being securely transported to its new owner anywhere in the world.
Recognised around the world for its striking translucent blue bottle, Bombay Sapphire has showcased the world’s finest glass creations for the last 20 years. The Bombay Sapphire Prize is the world’s biggest annual glass award and the Bombay Sapphire Designer Glass Competition is one of the top design contests for emerging designers
