Halloween candy hangover? Going to Geneva later this week to participate in the Gem Genève Jewelry Show. There is nothing better than taking a peek. This is a jewelry show attended by more than 120 international exhibitors representing 15 countries/regions. The works on display are as personalized as the market. Since it was held in 2018, rare antique jewelry, hard-to-find contemporary works by European designers, and a variety of important diamonds, gems and pearls have made this intimate show a must-have for dealers looking for the best products . Their customers.

This year's event was called the "Challenge Edition" and was organized by hosts Thomas Faerber and Ronny Totah.

"Starting in July, after the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Ronny Totah and I have been exploring many different scenarios, from small events in Geneva hotels to a more streamlined version of the original Gem Genève, and we even Consider postponing the event," Faber said in a statement.

But in the same statement, Totah pointed out, “The apparent enthusiasm of the exhibitors prompted us to organize this new 2021 exhibition in record time.” In fact, it was not until September 20 that the decision was made to proceed with the exhibition in earnest and in Geneva. Held in the famous conference center Palexpo.

In Totah’s view, he went on to say: “Gem Genève represents a new generation of professional exhibitions. We intend to maintain a humane performance with a family feel. A center where true professionals and jewelry lovers can gather. There is no similar ."

If only travel to Europe in the pandemic era would not be so difficult, would it? The following are some of the works that participants will see.

As in previous years, Vivienne Becker, a well-known jewelry writer, historian and curator of Vivarium, brought together the works of eight independent and innovative designers from all over the world, and gave them a special display at GemGenève. Becker said in a statement: "I look for jewelry with a strong personal perspective, a clear identity and creative vision, and a certain degree of process improvement." "I look for a complex integration of concepts, materials and technology, perhaps the most important. The thing is that I look for designers who have something to say and have new things to say through their jewelry. I look for the creators of today, who will become part of the long and rich continuum of jewelry history."

The following two highlights include earrings from Swiss-born London designer Cora Sheibani and London jeweller Geary Suen from G Suen, the latter being exhibited at Vivarium for the first time. The husband and wife duo Roshni and Studio Renn's Rahul Jhaveri (whose works are shown in the picture) who live in Mumbai are also new members of Vivarium. According to a statement, their latest work is an exploration of the "disturbing nature of incompleteness."
