The French Jewellery Selection in Geneva
Part of the busy calendar of events taking place in Geneva alongside Watches and Wonders, Francéclat hosts a showcase for the remarkable creativity and ancestral craftsmanship of French jewelry. Ten brands present their collections, from April 13 to 17 at Hotel President Wilson, confirming the global appeal of the famous “French touch”. We’ve selected three trends that are shaping the moment.
01 . SOFTLY, SOFTLY Delicately sculpted shapes and stones emphasize notions of identity, intimacy and a v ery personal signature. /public-objects/c457a80d-cea0-4ea0-b242-37c0412e28ee-5c15c1b1-684d-4679-bd95-2d887871e036-GRAND-SOLEIL-ORJAUNE-cmjn%20reduit.webp Image sélectionnée LA BRUNE & LA BLONDE Since 2011, La Brune & La Blonde has been mounting diamonds “naked”, with no metal setting or prongs. Thanks to this unique approach, which reveals the stone from every angle for maximum brilliance, the brand is reimagining a jewelry classic: the solitaire. In its latest collection, Lune & Soleil, diamonds are set free from their setting, their sparkle made even more intense by a halo of gold rays or gadroons. MORGANNE BELLO Since 2002, the brand has carved a reputation for jewelry that showcases the beauty of hard stones, elevated by diamonds. From a simple cord bracelet to a statement ring, every piece is meticulously conceived then handcrafted into totemic designs, each offered in a vast array of gems and colors. /public-objects/b6245bb7-607c-47cd-9570-30476eea4ac8-dcd0cbdc-c2d4-4169-b43e-f8d7ad216a31-MorganneBelloreduit.webp Image sélectionnée /public-objects/f3f46f04-3878-4f26-8481-75c6c3f8de3c-53663431-e78f-4b6e-bb0d-968f07fe6e29-MARIE%20MAS%20-%20Paloma's%20Ring%20Stack%20-%2018k%20rose%20gold%20-%20Diamonds%20%26%20Pearls%20-%202000x2000%20-%20300dpi%20-%20CMJN.webp Image sélectionnée MARIE MAS This is “jewelry in motion”, experienced as much as it is worn. Known for pieces that balance volume and line, Marie Mas now explores the sensuality of pearls, which appear to graze the skin, surrounded by waves of diamonds that capture and reflect light. 02 . RADIANT SPLENDOR Make your mark in diamonds… and gold. DJULA Romantic and rebellious, since 1994 the Parisian brand has challenged assumptions with affordable diamonds that put precious jewelry within everyone’s reach. At Djula, rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings are for layering and stacking. The baguette diamonds in the Endless collection trace bold trajectories, while brilliants impart a softer energy. /public-objects/041b81cf-f72f-4b2d-8e2e-95dcb9cdc092-de7fcade-12f2-4347-887d-05dfbda3a30f-DJULA%20reduit.webp Image sélectionnée /public-objects/ccc42c5c-4de4-4f0a-9adf-b00e9f1d614c-dc5255f8-fca9-4ba3-8492-7f788b05c7ff-NOUVELHeritage_Still%20life%20-%20Latch%20collection%20(1)%20reduit.webp Image sélectionnée NOUVEL HERITAGE This Parisian brand is rewriting the playbook with pieces that fuse jewelry heritage with contemporary design. Standout collections include Latch, with its streetwear influences, along with Mood, that riffs on a punk aesthetic. COPIN Established in 1870, the Parisian jeweler continues to blend past and present in its structured, architectural designs, crafted from recycled 18k gold. Special mention for Collection 82, inspired by a 1982 piece from the brand’s archives. Gold barrettes are assembled by hand to form sculptural pieces with an unmistakable identity. /public-objects/fc402948-901a-4739-990a-7503d093a8c7-927c7e31-9242-42ec-9d07-663fc3b50277-COPIN_19red.webp Image sélectionnée /public-objects/aaa6ae7b-e354-466b-90e3-871f5dda2d22-d4e4f88d-03f8-4ebe-aedd-8f2f78b4b415-MyWay_FSJ271_FSJ593_FSJ594_FSJ625_FSJ611_FSJ549_PRINT%20reduit.webp Image sélectionnée STATEMENT Launched in 2018, Statement embraces noble, powerful materials that echo the mindsets of decisive women who forge their own path. Diamonds, gold, malachite and enamel are the stars of My Way, a collection that revisits an opulent Art Deco style with a bold, futuristic touch. 03 . HALO TALISMAN Jewelry has always functioned as a precious protection. Gold, diamonds and colored stones are at the heart of designs that carry a symbolic and spiritual message. MELLERIO Established in 1613 and in the same family hands for 14 generations, the oldest jeweler in the Place Vendôme district of Paris cultivates a centuries-old tradition of bespoke pieces, alongside contemporary collections. The charms and medallions in the Cabinet de Curiosités line offer the protection of a modernday talisman. /public-objects/fe849f0d-052b-4a4a-803e-760a6f56a2fd-7ee502b8-3513-4f2c-bbee-4158259ceb7f-MELLERIO_Talismanreduit.webp Image sélectionnée /public-objects/f51539ba-8ecc-498d-bad6-955da59db422-2471ec20-55b6-471f-87ef-e06a40998fbd-VILTIER_BAGUES_CABOCHONS_CMJNred.webp Image sélectionnée VILTIER After earning their spurs at Cartier and Marie-Hélène de Taillac, Iris de La Villardière and Thomas Montier Leboucher founded Viltier in 2020. Their creations epitomize the new wave of French jewelry houses, not least the Talisman Cabochon collection whose plump, generously oversized cabochon stones complement and contrast with diamonds set in vertical rows. AKILLIS Launched in 2007 and renowned for its compelling and contemporary aesthetic, Akillis expresses the full force of jewelry with its serpent motifs, reinvented by Caroline Gaspard as timeless, stylized pieces. The Python collection pairs gold with diamonds to create ingenious articulated jewelry that molds to the body like a second skin. /public-objects/a35bde41-8559-4f6b-8e1d-80246d287241-428a8ee2-27c0-438b-b40f-f373fd83e798-Akillis_Python_cmjn_2red.webp Image sélectionnée April 13-17, 2026 — Hotel President Wilson, Quai Wilson 47, 1211 Geneva
