Haute Jewels Geneva, an Encounter with Excellence

"What began as a small gathering of carefully selected jewelers has grown into a showcase of 44 prestigious brands, while staying true to our commitment to refinement and meaningful exchanges. More than an exhibition, Haute Jewels Geneva is a place where the future of high jewelry unveils itself, where creativity, craftsmanship, and heritage converge in a setting as luxurious as the pieces themselves," explains Michael Hakimian, founder of Haute Jewels Geneva (HJG) and president of the exhibiting house Yoko London. Before 2025, HJG spanned two locations: the Fairmont Grand Hotel and the InterContinental. Since then, the event has been entirely consolidated within the latter, just 15 minutes from downtown. Exclusively reserved for professionals, the exhibition unveils to visitors the quintessence of contemporary high jewelry in an intimate setting, carried by the chic and elegant codes of luxury hospitality, with an arty space serving as the entrance. Different Typologies of Brands The salon, designed on a human scale, is structured into several spaces: "Penthouses", which brings together two major Italian signatures of international renown, Damiani and Pasquale Bruni. Within "Grand Arena", "The Grand Ballroom" and "Grand Villas", one can also find established houses, which exhibited at Baselworld (before Covid) or at Vicenzaoro, such as Stenzhorn, Picchiotti or Carrera y Carrera. "The Palace" space highlights more discreet but equally creative players, like the Swiss brand Fullord. In terms of offerings, the exhibition stands out for the quality of its gemstones and the technicality of its pieces: invisible settings from Stenzhorn, and nature-inspired designs from Damiani and Pasquale Bruni. The baroque and couture style of Dolce&Gabbana is also noteworthy, with its colorful array of semi-precious stones. As for Yoko London, the house excels in cultured pearls, from the South Sea to Akoya, extending to more accessible pearls. "We also recognize the importance of offering our visitors privileged moments beyond the exhibition space; that is why we organize evening events for exhibitors and guests," explains Michael Hakimian. This "business rendezvous" atmosphere is driven by continuous growth, from four exhibitors in 2019 to 44 expected in 2026. In 2025, international attendance increased by 38% compared to 2024 (more than 2,000 visitors), predominantly European, with a growing presence of professionals from Asia, the United States and the Middle East. /public-objects/5a14bfbe-8d11-4cda-a908-79b734d9fcb4-f3a89791-514b-46d7-bc00-43b844fba1a1-Michael%20Hakimian_FondateurdeHGJ.webp Image sélectionnée "We plan to continue this momentum into 2026 with an anticipated increase in footfall," concludes Michael Hakimian.
