A jewel always tells more than it shows. Behind a stone, a shape or a signature, an era, a culture, a skill, and sometimes the gesture of a creator whose mark transcends time are revealed.
The section Jewellery d’Esprit Joaillerie explores the creation of jewelry in all its forms: Haute Joaillerie, vintage and signature jewelry, contemporary creations, precious stones and colored stones. It is equally interested in the houses and creators as well as the techniques, inspirations and stories that give meaning to the pieces.
From Place Vendôme with the workshops, From archives to today’s creations, Esprit Joaillerie takes a look at jewelry through a lens infused with gemology, art history, and field experience. Watching a jewel is also about learning to read what the stone, the drawing and the hand are telling us.
At Van Cleef & Arpels, time is never an abstract given. It bends, animates, hides, or reveals itself.

With Envol, Chaumet offers Haute Joaillerie that does not dictate an attitude but suggests several. The wings are not just symbols inherited from the Empire or the Belle Époque; they become an open language.
In late January 2026, Paris once again experienced that special silence that accompanies the great moments of Haute Joaillerie. Far from the spectacular commotion of fashion, the plush salons of Place Vendôme and the discreet addresses welcomed collectors, aesthetes and loyalists of the great houses.
Bvlgari inaugurates a collection based on the transformation of its historical models.
Gold is not smooth. It is textured, rhythmic, and constructed. The Joaillerie Creation Studio chooses engraving as a foundational gesture, transforming the motif into architecture. Each piece is based on a clear design, where the geometry dialogues with softened volumes.
Another idea of glamour, Talk to me Harry Winston. In 1953, a phrase sung in a low voice by Marilyn Monroe was enough to place Harry Winston in the collective memory.
Tria by Mélanie Georgacopoulos, the balance in three shades. Inspired by the Greek word tria, meaning «three», the new Tria collection aims to reveal a subtle form of harmony through three shades of pearls.

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.
He moves away from naturalistic motifs to design geometric, almost architectural jewels. This approach, fueled by the zeitgeist and the rise of modern design, will give jewelry a new direction.

For more than a decade, TASAKI and Mélanie Georgacopoulos have formed a unique duo, united by a common intuition: to liberate the pearl from its traditional setting.
For Esprit Joaillerie, the jewel holds a central place in the eye. From haute joaillerie to contemporary creations, from historical pieces to the most current collections, each jewel carries a story of material, creation, and transmission.
However, platinum, silver, diamonds, colored stones: behind each piece lies a choice. The choice of a gem, chosen for its beauty, rarity, or character. The choice of a design, a gesture, and a technique that give it its definitive form: crimping, sizing, and composition.
From the great houses of Place Vendôme to creators who are redefining the codes of contemporary jewelry, this section explores the signatures, styles, and stones that have shaped the history of jewelry. A selection where gemology meets creation, and where each piece of jewelry becomes the starting point of a narrative.
