The new creative scene of French jewelry
Le Rendez-Vous is a collaborative, professional, and unifying event that provides the industry with a structured and sustainable platform during Fashion Week in Paris, highlighting its key issues and key players. Its goal is to promote French jewelry both in Paris and internationally, and to firmly establish jewelry at the heart of the contemporary creative industries.
The event offers a unique experience designed to showcase all aspects of creativity: brand presentations, craftsmanship, image, thought leadership, and culture. Conceived as a curated journey, the event offers professionals an immersive experience that celebrates the sector’s excellence and creative boldness.
Five curated spaces for an immersive experience
Le Rendez-Vous is organized around five complementary spaces, each offering a different perspective on jewelry and fine jewelry.
The Central Stage
- The Central Stage features 24 jewelry and fashion jewelry brands selected for their creativity, distinctive style, and ability to represent contemporary French design. Together, they embody the diversity and vitality of a thriving industry.
Fashion Jewelry
Fine Jewelry
A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND JEWELRY & FINE JEWELRY MAP
An interactive map – unprecedented in scope – will chart the key events hosted by French and international jewelry and fine jewelry brands during Paris Fashion Week. Created using information shared by industry participants, it brings together showrooms, exhibitions, galleries, events, and parallel programming. While not intended to be exhaustive, the map aims to provide greater visibility to a highly active yet often fragmented ecosystem. It also serves as a valuable reference tool for industry professionals navigating one of the capital’s busiest creative periods.
The Jewelry Monograph
The Jewelry Monograph unfolds as an immersive exhibition. In collaboration with Baptiste Desjardin, artistic director and paper artist, the installation takes 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 create a play of shadows, reflections, and transparencies. The space becomes an abstract, living, and almost immaterial garden, within which visitors gradually discover the jewelry creations.

Upcoming Program
The Photography Exhibition

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.
The Bookstore
A carefully curated bookstore will offer a selection of specialized publications, magazines, and reference works dedicated to jewelry and creative culture.
