About the Item

Skull and Bone Candle Holder with Turquoise Rhinestone Crystals – Ruthenium-Plated Brass – Vintage 2008 Paris Design by J Dauphin This rare Skull and Bone Candle Holder by J Dauphin was handcrafted in Paris in 2008 and remains unworn and collectible. Cast in ruthenium-plated brass, the sculptural design features skull and bone motifs set with turquoise rhinestone crystals, capturing the brand’s fusion of symbolic depth and artisanal craftsmanship. The piece measures 2 inches in height and 0.95 inches in width, exhibiting subtle signs of natural aging—soft patina and light surface markings that attest to its vintage authenticity and history. Founded in 2006 by Johanna Dauphin, J Dauphin merges Swedish minimalism, Italian craftsmanship, and Parisian luxury, resulting in designs that embody both spiritual symbolism and modern edge. Produced in the same Parisian ateliers as Hermès, each creation reflects precision and quality. A favorite among artists and musicians such as Keith Richards, Uma Thurman, Chloë Sevigny, Courtney Cox, Brandi Carlile, and Roxette, J Dauphin’s pieces have been featured in Vogue and sold at leading retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, Le Bon Marché, and Matches. This design reflects the brand’s roots in Memento Mori symbolism—celebrating awareness, transformation, and beauty in impermanence. A rare collectible from the early years of J Dauphin’s legacy.
