Widely known as the St. Remy, the chalice of St. Remigius is probably the most beautiful and treasured symbol of a Christian sacred vessel. Its sheer beauty, magnificent craftsmanship and interesting history make it a legend in its own right.

St. Remigius, Apostle of the Franks and Archbishop of Reims, France, during the 6th Century was a very influential man who converted the Franks to Christianity. The Franks had been mainly warriors until then and had robbed or destroyed many of the sacred vessels of the Churches of the era. It is said that, after the Franks converted to Christianity, the chalice of St. Remigius was cut from the gold of the celebrated vase of the Church of Soissons, previously broken by a soldier of Clovis, King of the Franks, as a gesture of regret. The St. Remy chalice has been preciously kept since then in the treasury of the Cathedral of Reims, being even used by the Kings of France to communicate under the species of wine at the end of the Coronation ceremonies.

Set with genuine stones (Amethysts, Lapis Lazulis, Green Venturines, and Garnets) as well as adorned with cloisonne fire enamel, the St. Remy intinction set is a superb blend of beauty, quality, and dignity of design.
