Each bottle of champagne has its own cork, which is kept in place by cork wiring that is kept tightly in place by four notches in the metal bottle top. This cork wiring is very much appreciated by collectors (known as “placomusophiles”) all over the world. Pascal Morabito has made this cork wiring into a jewel (which has been patented). When the champagne is bottled, the cork-wiring jewel is placed under the bottle top, becoming free when the bottle is opened. The cork-wiring jewel is gilded with fine 24-carat gold and, delicately hanging on a silk thread is to be worn around the neck like a pendant, commemorating the finesse and seduction of a moment of sharing and complicity.
