ounded by Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London, the first Haute Jewels Geneva took place in 2019 and saw four jewellery brands (Yoko London, Roberto Coin, Sutra and Crivelli) join forces to create a new jewellery show “that broke the boundaries of traditional trade shows.” After being forced to cancel the event in 2020 and 2021, the show is back. From 30th March to 5th April, a collection of high-end jewellery brands will exhibit at the Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva as Haute Jewels Geneva, and the original four have grown to 16. The leading brands showcasing their collections are Yoko London, Picchiotti, Hans D Krieger, Marco Bicego, Roberto Coin, Sutra, Crivelli, Bayco, Etho Maria, Stenzhorn, Mariani, Palmiero, Gorgoglione, Leo Pizzo, Verdi and Annamaria Cammilli. Each of the distinguished jewellery houses offers something unique, but they’re like minded in their approach to jewellery creation. They are artisans in their own field, combining high-quality materials with superior design to create spectacular haute jewels.

Haute Jewels Geneva promises “an intimate, luxurious environment for jewellery buyers and suppliers to conduct business – a concept that feels even more relevant following the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. With the ability to see each other face to face again, the dynamic event will combine the power, creativity and experience of the participating brands.” The 16 jewellery houses have participated in countless trade shows around the globe, and this collective experience has informed the Haute Jewels Geneva concept. Although the event has grown exponentially since its creation, one of its key aims remains to remove the formality from the traditional trade show experience, providing a relaxed atmosphere for both clients and exhibitors to discover exclusive jewellery designs. While maintaining the emphasis on quality brands in a luxury environment, it is hoped that the event will continue to evolve and grow. Michael Hakimian said: “We are thrilled that Haute Jewels Geneva will be returning in 2022. This unique show is a collaboration between 16 harmonious brands, bringing together their expertise to create a forwardthinking event that addresses the needs of the supplier and the buyer in our fastmoving world.” For further details and visitor registration, visit www. hautejewelsgeneva.com
