A COLLECTION OF PRECIOUS HAND FANS SET WITH DIAMONDS
Whether as interior decorations or fashion accessories, hand fans continue to fascinate with their refined aesthetics and practical character. They remain timeless, transcending fashion.
Each hand fan by S by Salanitro is truly a work of art, a bridge between the elegance and sophistication of royal courts in the past and the bold, resolutely contemporary style of today.
Traditionally used for its grace and refinement, the hand fan is reinvented by S by Salanitro as a luxury accessory set with diamonds – precious as a jewel.
FAN ART
The art of fan making is a craft of excellence, marrying meticulous craftsmanship with aesthetic beauty. S by Salanitro follows in this tradition. At its core, this art relies on creating a sturdy and elegant frame, here with a span of 38 cm, made from several carefully assembled metal components. On this structure is stretched a leaf made of delicate materials such as silk or cotton, adorned with printed patterns specifically designed by S by Salanitro.

“This new take on the hand fan is a way of innovating in unexpected territory.
Beyond the exceptional craftsmanship and timeless elegance, I invite you to let yourself be seduced by the thrill of a fan unfolding, as it reveals not only its beauty but also the history and passion of those who created it.” Pierre Salanitro, fondateur de S By Salanitro
S by Salanitro fans are made from noble materials, carefully selected for their beauty and quality. Natural silk, a symbol of softness and luxury, or 100% natural cotton (OEKO-TEX certified, a mark of quality), are chosen for their ability to capture the most vivid and delicate colors. The fibers are hand-cut according to a design printed on both sides, which must perfectly align once the two parts are prepared, pleated, and mounted on the ribs.
Elevated by the expertise and craftsmanship of 250 gem setters in the Salanitro workshops in Geneva, who have mastered both technical prowess and artistic flair, each fan harmoniously integrates a multitude of diamonds.
The diamonds, meticulously inlaid like tiny stars, are not just embellishments; they are the beating heart of each creation, capturing light to reflect the radiance of the one who wears it.
The fans are not just timeless accessories; each becomes a veritable jewel to be displayed and worn, celebrating craftsmanship and aesthetic refinement.
The first hand fans appeared in Asia, specifically in China, around the 10th century BCE, during the Zhou Dynasty. Originally made from feathers, they were reserved for the Emperor and high-ranking officials.
