Diamond and Gold Skis

LACROIX Ultime Skis Fuse Performance With Luxury

— March 20, 2009 — Lifestyle
If you demand utter skiing performance or simply attention on the slopes, the collaboration between French ski makers and Parisian jeweler Phillipe Tournaire brings to you the ideal pair: the LACROIX Ultime skis, diamond & gold edition.

The opulent pair features a wooden core with titanium edges, hand crafted and available in a selection of rare veneers. Renowned for manufacturing artistry and high precision, the LACROIX house combines technological innovation, aesthetic enhancement and flawless finishing to create the most sophisticated skis.

Philippe Tournaire puts his stunning final touch with a white gold inscription encrusted with four differently shaped diamonds. Flashing its exclusivity, the striking pair is available only from Tournaire’s store on the Place Vendôme in Paris.

True pieces of art, the LACROIX Ultime skis with diamond & gold are definitely aimed at expert skiers; you must be skillful enough to make it through the shiny white slopes, while at the same time avoiding all those stunned, envious glances thrown accidentally right at your path.
