XXVI Biennale des Antiquaires

 

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!







Also saw this necklace at the new Chanel fine jewelry store in Monte-Carlo:
