Launched in 2008, the “Jewels of France” show has become an annual “rendez-vous” for the finest artisan designers of French jewelry. Seven collections that epitomize the brilliance of contemporary French jewelry design will take center stage. Damoiselle D, inspired by the French cultural heritage, crafts and jewelry expertise, Damoiselle D fills the missing gap of refined and eternal ladylike watches; Edéenne, a young, talented designer, whose work was recently showcased at the Museum of the Legion of Honor in Paris; Mathon, known for their dazzling use of color and nature-inspired motifs; and Poiray, known for “Ma Première” watch, “The Heart” and the “Symbole” Ring (in which a hidden message can be engraved),. The show also includes Tahitian pearl designs by Pacôma; Valerie MacCarthy, a renowned opera soprano turned jewelry designer with eco-inspired creations of gold, silver and Brazilian wood; and Aveva, which will exclusively design unique fantasy pieces for clients.
