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:

Being one of the first Asian designers ever featured at the Biennale, Wallace Chan creates magical pieces of jewelry inspired by his native surroundings.

Great anticipation for the next Biennale at the Grand Palais this year! Karl Lagerfeld is said to be staging the design of the whole exhibition that will host up to 150 galleries. Read my post from 2010 for pictures etc. "Week-end d'Or - XXVe Biennale des Antiquaires"
