Ooh la la: French high jewelry takes to Big Apple

October 30, 2009
Among the pieces that will be featured in the Jewels of France Exhibition and Trunk Show is this Joia ring in white gold with green tourmalines and diamonds.

New York--Aaron Faber Gallery will host 13 of France's celebrated jewelry houses and designers in the second annual Jewels of France Exhibition and Trunk Show.

The event, starring smaller less recognized French jewelry houses under the "Label Joiaillerie de France," will kick off the afternoon of Nov. 16 and run through Nov. 20 at the gallery's midtown Manhattan headquarters at 666 Fifth Avenue on West 53rd STreet.

According to the exhibition's hosts, UBIFRANCE and the French Trade Commission, each of the featured designers produce quality and craftsmanship that is guaranteed by the Union Francaise de la BJOP (the French Union of Jewelry Makers, Gems, Pearls and Goldsmiths).

Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to learn abut the art of French jewelry manufacture, and also meet with the creative directors behind the participating houses, which include: Antoine Camus, Bijoux Commelin, BRM, Garnazelle, Joia, La Joaillerie Recreative, Marchak, Sophie Reyre, Sylvain Nosjean, Tess and Tasha, Umane Creations, Veronique Bailly and Ximena Alarcon Cavrois.

"It takes a minimum 10 years of study to become a master artisan of French high jewelry," Camille Wiart, director of business development, fashion and jewelry at the French Trade Commission, said in a media release. "We are pleased to present to the American audience through the Jewels of France Exhibition and Trunk Show 13 of France's most celebrated jewelry houses and designers, each consummate masters of their trade. We are also very happy to be working again with Aaron Faber Gallery, whose reputation and commitment to showcasing the best in contemporary studio jewelry, classic and vintage jewelry made it the obvious venue."
