The profile of the Marlene Dietrich Special Edition, made of precious black resin, is a stylised reflection of Dietrich’s silhouette in her legendary trouser suit, while the clip, embellished with a sapphire, symbolises the distinctive tie worn by the “Blue Angel”. Even the heart-shaped hole cut into the rhodium-plated 18 K gold nib is reminiscent of Dietrich’s famous film character: “von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt” – “head over heels” in love.

Glamorous star of the cinema screen, idolised vamp, charismatic diva – Marlene Dietrich was one of the most captivating women of the 20th century. In spite of her fame, star-performer’s salary and brilliant Hollywood career, the “Blue Angel” always remained true to her ideals and lived according to her own code of conduct, which not only made her perhaps the most uncompromising star of her era, but also a role model for all women who believe in realising their visions.
