Blank / Plating
Blank
• Total lenght : 67mm

Silver plating
A layer of silver is deposited on the brass.
Thanks to its good thermal conductivity, silver provides a smooth and comfortable feel on the lips.
We have chosen an exceptional plating with a thick layer of silver – 20 µm, ensuring very high quality and long-term durability.
Gold plating
A layer of pure 24-carat gold is deposited over the silver plating.
Thanks to its high thermal conductivity, gold provides a soft and warm sensation on the lips.
We have chosen an excellence plating in pure 24-carat gold, the only metal that does not oxidize over time.
