Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry Unveils North America’s Largest Bottle of Rare LOUIS XIII Cognac in Silicon Valley at Rosewood Sand Hill Boutique

Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry Unveils North America’s Largest Bottle of Rare LOUIS XIII Cognac in Silicon Valley at Rosewood Sand Hill Boutique Customers Purchasing over $25,000 In-Store Will Enjoy a Private Cognac Tasting from 6L LOUIS XIII “Le Mathusalem” Baccarat Crystal Bottle

Stephen and Jared Silver, [pictured], rolled out the red carpet at their Rosewood Sand Hill boutique on Wednesday, December 4, to celebrate the Silicon Valley retailer’s new collaboration with LOUIS XIII Cognac, one of the world’s most iconic spirits brands. Joined by friends and clients, including actor Aldis Hodge, the Silvers unveiled North America’s largest publicly displayed decanter of LOUIS XIII Cognac: a 6 liter “Le Mathusalem” hand-blown Baccarat crystal bottle. Starting December 4, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry began offering private presentations and tastings of the rare French cognac to any customers making purchases over $25,000.

Jared Silver, President, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry: “I was so impressed with the Louis XIII presentation. For years, I have wanted to create a multi-sensory experience, something you could see, smell, feel, taste, and hear, in our store. After connecting with the Louis XIII team, and experiencing the cognac, I felt it was a perfect match. Now we will share a ‘Louis XIII Moment’ with our most dedicated clients as a permanent tradition. It’s our way of honoring them and saying, ‘thank you’ for their support.”

Stephen Silver, CEO, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry: “Creating a masterpiece requires innate vision, expertise, the right conditions, and the mastery of time. I have worked on a single gemstone for years, sourcing it and taking it through laborious stages of design, cutting, refining, and setting to see it reach its full potential. Fine cognac is much the same. It takes over 100 years to produce a single drop of Louis XIII, with multiple cellar masters overseeing its journey from grape to cask to bottle. Our values align with the Louis XIII brand. We share a dedication to superior quality, meticulous craft, an emphasis on education, and the preservation of expertise spanning generations.”

The limited-edition, numbered “Le Mathusalem” crystal decanter now housed in the Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry boutique is filled with the exquisite blend of up to 1,200 grapes eaux-de-vie sourced 100% from Grande Champagne matured slowly inside an oak cask. Each individually numbered decanter is designed after an original 16th century metal flask, discovered on the site of the battle of Jarnac in France. The “Le Mathusalem” 6 liter bottle is made from fine crystal weighing 17 kilos, mouth-blown by 20 highly skilled master craftsmen of La Maison Baccarat. LOUIS XIII is the life achievement of four generations of cellar masters.

The Silvers’ LOUIS XIII “Le Mathusalem” decanter will remain on permanent public display at the Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry boutique awith its dedicated case, eight crystal glasses, a serving platter, and a pipette, in honor of the ancestral tasting and serving rituals of the LOUIS XIII cellar masters. At the December 4 launch event at Rosewood Sand Hill, intimate groups of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry friends and clients were guided by a LOUIS XIII cellar master through a 30-minute tasting experience.

With this new LOUIS XIII display, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry will also be featured in an exclusive roster of LOUIS XIII exclusive experiences available only to the most dedicated LOUIS XIII customers worldwide. VIP LOUIS XIII customers visiting the San Francisco Bay area can schedule a tour of the Silvers’ extensive vaults, where they will gain access to some of the world’s greatest jewelry treasures and loose gemstones valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Each multi-sensory tour will conclude with a tasting presentation and ‘LOUIS XIII Moment.’
