XXVI Biennale des Antiquaires

  photo photo_11_zps52958b5e.jpg

Jewelry giants such as Van Cleef and Arples, Cartier, Chanel, Boucheron... all come together at the XXVI Biennale des Antiquaires last September in Paris. I visited the previous time the Biennale was held in 2010 and had a glimpse of the very exclusive and sometimes rare jewels on display for the occasion.

The Place Vendome jewelers always show the most exquisite and precious jewelry available. Time to indulge!
