The new creative scene of French jewelry
From October 2 to 5, 2026, at the Jardin des Tuileries, FRANCÉCLAT launched LE RENDEZ-VOUS, a new trade event dedicated to French jewelry, led by the ÉMERGENCE program.
Held under the High Patronage of Mr. Emmanuel MACRON, President of the French Republic, LE RENDEZ-VOUS aimed to showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of the jewelry industry during Fashion Week by creating a major, collaborative event that brings together French and international players in the sector.

Five curated spaces for an immersive experience
Le Rendez-Vous was organized around five complementary spaces, each offering a distinct perspective on jewelry. From shadow to light, the exhibition design invited visitors to discover the collections through a carefully choreographed interplay of materials, volumes, and transparency. Creative agencies Meutes Hyperstudio and Breigstorm developed the art direction and produced an immersive journey conceived as a gradual unveiling.
The Central Stage
- The Central Stage featured 24 jewelry and fashion jewelry brands selected for their creativity, distinctive style, and ability to represent contemporary French design. Together, they embodied the diversity and vitality of a thriving industry.

Jewelry brands, trade shows, showrooms, launches, boutiques… all the latest news was gathered on this interactive map.
The Jewelry Monograph
The Jewelry Monograph unfolded as an immersive exhibition. In collaboration with Baptiste Desjardin, artistic director and paper artist, the installation took the form of a suspended landscape composed of monumental sheets of paper inspired by the natural world: gardens, flowers, foliage, and tree silhouettes.
Bathed in light, the cutouts created a play of shadows, reflections, and transparencies. The space became an abstract, living, and almost immaterial garden, within which visitors gradually discovered the jewelry creations.
In partnership with Castafiore, the selection was enhanced with vintage pieces from leading jewelry houses. This platform, dedicated to the buying and selling of pre-owned jewelry, sources its pieces from exclusive dealers and private collections before authenticating and appraising them. Incorporated into the exhibition, these pieces fostered a dialogue between modernity and the past, building on the garden as the central theme.

The Jewelry Monograph was an exhibition showcasing conceptual and iconic pieces that bear witness to exceptional craftsmanship, all centred around a single theme: the garden.

Style
Adorn the flesh,
envelop it in
glowing red, icy blue,
deep black. Behind
the purity of the glass, the radiance
of the skin shines through, every
pore pulsing with beauty.
The sublime materials
echo one another. And time
stands still.
