Ice Queen
Jade Jagger & Belvedere create the "Jagger Dagger"
Monday, April 07, 2008
(NEW YORK) Jade Jagger has been reincarnated, courtesy of Belvedere. Mick's daughter, best known in accessory circles for her gig as creative director at Garrard, has created the "Jagger Dagger," a sword boasting an 18-carat white gold hilt studded with 12 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds, 42 pale sapphires, and inlaid with a central blue lapis lazuli square. "I drew my inspiration from medieval daggers and worked with the finest stones to create the pieces, which are fun and work to bring a pure experience to enjoying vodka," said Jagger.

The "Jagger Dagger" will be part of an extravagant experience when a magnum of Belvedere is ordered at select nightclubs, including 1OAK in New York, Crystal in London, and VIP in Paris. The irregular surfaces of hand-cracked ice melt down more slowly than traditional evenly-shaped ice cubes, keeping vodka cold without diluting its taste and potency. The ritual is completed with a giant block of ice and tableside ice-picking service with the bejeweled instrument, provided by servers suited in Jagger's Jezebel collection.

A limited number of these ice daggers will be created, each with a retail value exceeding $250,000 and available at a select number of retailers, including Harrods. Jagger's blade is crafted from mirror-polished carbon steel and adorned with an engraving of the delicate frosted tree branches that decorate the Belvedere bottle itself. For those less inclined, a range of daggers--each studded with 12 carats of white topaz, 42 pieces of stunning Aquamarine, and priced at $10,000 each--will be available at exclusive retailers.

As part of its new "luxury reborn" initiative, Belvedere has also created a dedicated portfolio of visuals for its collaboration with Jagger. Terry Richardson, who shot the company's new, recently-launched, advertising campaign, photographed Jagger in a series of striking images.

The Jade Jagger for Belvedere collaboration will launch with a series of events in select cities, starting in Mumbai then moving to New York and Los Angeles, London, Cannes (during the film festival), and ending in Ibiza. Jagger will attend all events, along with those in her glamorous circle of musicians, photographers, celebrities, designers and models. In New York, Jagger and Belvedere will host a dinner and performance on April 16 at the Angel Orensanz Foundation Center for the Arts.
