- Combine strawberry puree, strawberry juice, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Pour the mixture into dome-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until partially set.
- Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla bean paste until smooth, airy, and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Pipe a generous mound of lemon mousse into the center of each partially set dome. Cover with the remaining strawberry mixture and refrigerate until fully set and crystal clear.
- Carefully unmold the domes onto a chilled serving platter.
- Warm strawberry preserves, honey, water, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly while remaining pourable.
- Brush or drizzle the crystal shine glaze over each dome to create a radiant ruby-like finish.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries, candied lemon peel, white chocolate curls, and a delicate dusting of edible gold dust.
- Serve thoroughly chilled for the perfect balance of bright citrus and sweet berry flavor.
