There are some appointments that allow you to discover a piece of jewelry; others give you an insight into an era, a skill, or the eye of a creator. The section Events of Esprit Joaillerie accompanies these moments when creation leaves the studio to meet its audience.
Exhibitions, salons, presentations of Haute Joaillerie, openings, meetings or events dedicated to the craft of art: the section follows the news very closely, with particular attention paid to stones, with jewels, with know-how and with those who transmit them.
From Place Vendôme to the Carré Rive Gauche, from Paris to Geneva and beyond, Fine Jewellery Spirit I share these events as many open doors to a world in motion. Because attending an event is also entering a story, meeting those who are creating it, and discovering what is unfolding today.
On the Mellerio facade appears a vast composition imagined by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Like a curtain lifted on several centuries of creation, the installation covers the building with a narrative populated by women, colours and historical references.
With this first Parisian exhibition, Pomellato ultimately offers more than just a look at its heritage. The journey reveals how a jewellery house can become an observatory of the aesthetic, cultural and social transformations that have marked recent decades.
From June 3 to 6, 2026, the 48th edition of L’Objet Extraordinaire transforms this historical fragment of the capital into an open-air journey where art leaves the exhibition spaces to invade the streets. Among the rue du Bac, the rue de Beaune, the rue des Saints-Pères, the rue de Lille, the rue de Verneuil and the quai Voltaire, the visitor is invited to wander at the rhythm of discoveries, encounters and stories.
At the School of Jewelry Arts, the summer of 2026 unfolds under the sign of a singular perspective. From June 8 to October 4, an exhibition invites us to enter the universe of Daniel Brush, a unique figure whose work crosses disciplines with uncommon freedom.
For decades, Codognato has cultivated this rare ambiguity: a jewelry collection where the ornament dialogues with the symbol, where each piece seems to be haunted by the ghosts of a city built on reflections, relics, and rituals.
When Georg Jensen returned to Denmark in June 1926, he brought with him something imperceptible but decisive: the certainty that a personal plastic language can survive its own conditions of emergence, renew itself without renouncing them. His influence on the generations of artists and designers who would follow him will be commensurate with this quiet conviction.
Powdered rose, intense yellow, mineral blue or almost unreal green—these stones, long reserved for a few initiates, now occupy the center of conversation. Not by fashion, but because they introduce into the diamond universe a concept that has become essential: uniqueness.
From May 7 to 10, 2026, Geneva hosts the 10th edition of GemGenève, the exhibition conceived by Thomas Faerber and Ronny Totah. In less than a decade, the event has established itself as a unique gathering in the world of jewelry.
Conceived by the World Diamond Heritage Board and then taken up by the NDC, this day revolves around a discreet but evocative symbol: the number 8, associated with infinity and the birthstone of April. This is a way of placing natural diamonds within a long-term context, one of memory, transmission, and human connections.
Precious Grotesqueries: The Jewels of William Harper offers a concentrated glimpse into this artistic universe. Between contemporary jewelry, narrative miniatures, and homage to the history of art, the works invite the observer to observe every detail as a clue. On the scale of a brooch or a small box, Harper builds worlds where autobiography, humor, and imagination intersect.
Designed by the Maison Boucheron for its Carte Blanche «Holographic» collection (2021), the brooch now joins the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
The Al Thani Collection continues its dialogue with the history of prestige. After exploring medieval and Renaissance art, it concludes its trilogy with Dynastic Jewels: Power, Prestige and Passion (1700-1950).
The School of Jewelry Arts explores the world of gemstones. As the end of the year approaches, the School of Jewelry Arts unveils new courses on gems in Paris.
The starting point is a manuscript summary found in the archives of Roger Caillois, the last trace of a project that remained unfinished. François Farges, with the rigor of a scientist and the sensitivity of a reader, saw in it the promise of a work to be reconstructed.
One hundred years after lighting up the world, Art Deco is finding its appeal once again at the Museum of Decorative Arts. The exhibition «1925-2025. Cent Years of Art Deco», presented from October 22, 2025 to April 26, 2026, offers a journey through the century that questions the relationship between modernity and beauty, luxury and creation.
Under the showcases of L’École des Arts Joailliers, the stones seem to breathe. From November 6, 2025 to March 29, 2026, the exhibition Rêveries de pierres : Poésie et minéraux by Roger Caillois, conceived in collaboration with the National Museum of Natural History.
Exhibitions, haute jewelry presentations, openings, salons, but also events dedicated to other exceptional savoir-faire: Esprit Joaillerie takes you closer to those who bring the universe of gesture and material to life.
Exhibitions dedicated to precious stones, gemology, or the history of the great houses offer a different perspective on jewelry creation. Here, one discovers historical jewelry, archives, know-how, and sometimes pieces rarely presented to the public. But this section also opens up to other realms, such as carpentry, horology, decorative arts, whenever the event highlights the same demand for transmission and excellence.
From De Chaumet to Bvlgari, from Lacloche to Van Cleef & Arpels, Esprit Joaillerie shares these events where heritage, creation and transmission come together, as close as possible to their opening, regardless of the art form in question.
A section to keep up to date with the latest developments in the industry: exhibitions, events and highlights that keep the sector, whether jeweller or not, in motion.
