BIJORHCA PARIS JANUARY 2020

The last Bijorhca PARIS trade show was held from January 17 to 20.

This edition demonstrated the determination to reinvent this event. Bijorhca PARIS first changed venue. It moved into Hall 7.1 at Paris expo Porte de Versailles. With this change, close to other trade shows, it offers a new dynamic to professionals.

First of all, the visitor was also able to walk through four distinct areas: the «Precious Area» (featuring precious jewelry and fine watchmaking), the «Fashion Area» (offering fantasy jewelry), the 'Atelier» (centralizing the techniques with tools and packaging), and finally »Raw Materials« (dedicated to the materials necessary for the manufacture of jewelry).

Bijorhca has 350 exhibitors, including 100 new ones ,
12000 visitors, buyers, 23 workshops.

Skills, such as the heraldic engraving with
Thomas Brac de la Perrière is represented.
They attracted many curious onlookers and admirers.

It is the opportunity to appreciate unique jewels.
As a true enthusiast, Laurence Oppermann creates all her jewelry by hand; her technique and know-how are based on techniques inherited from goldsmithing and traditional jewelry making. The gold is hammered, grained, and inlaid with stones in a sculptural approach.

A discovery with Thomas Aurifex, this self-taught artist designs and creates meticulous and original jewelry. After working in the workshops of a large house in the Place Vendôme, he started his own business. Thomas draws inspiration from Antiquity or the Renaissance; always looking for proportions, he loves mathematics, which to him are just as much a key to opening the doors of creation.

We meet again in September, from the 4th to the 7th for the highly anticipated
150th edition of the Bijorhca Salon.
