This new autumn edition, the second edition of 2022, promises to be exceptional! Once again, GemGenève will be full of surprises and new discoveries, for both visitors and exhibitors. The show offers a panoramic journey to the heart of the world of jewellery, precious stones, rare and unique gems, pearls, ancient jewellery, historic and modern creations.

Past, Present, and Future, together again to offer the best in jewellery design at GemGenève!

Ronny Totah underlines:

“After the success of the May 2022 edition and following demands from our exhibitors, we decided to organise a second edition in November 2022 in Geneva, but that won’t become the norm in future.”

 

This edition will also focus on Fondation Igor Carl Fabergé which is celebrating its 40th anniversary at the GemGenève show. The Foundation and GemGenève are delighted to be able to present around a hundred pieces representing the breadth of the expertise of Carl Fabergé and his master craftsmen. Three imperial eggs will be revealed to the world on this occasion and will feature in the forthcoming catalogue expected to appear in Winter 2022 / 2023 (more to come!)

“GemGenève thus pursues its mission with the desire to bring together the best in the field of jewellery and
precious stones” Nadège Totah
