At Rückl, the breath-taking Odette collection is made by a single craftsman, who has perfectly mastered fine, extremely demanding grinding processes. He is admirably patient at his work, spending hours fully concentrated on his craft. That leads to the perfect lace cut, which is an embodied proof of his mastery.
