Highlights of the 2016 Mes Créateurs Joailliers trade fair:
This year, the competition #myfavoritejewel will have the theme "travel", thus offering a wide source of inspiration to designers. Exhibitors are invited to each create a unique piece in gold, with or without a gem, representative of their know-how. These unique jewels will be exhibited throughout the duration of the show in a dedicated space. Four prizes will be awarded: "The creation prize", "The know-how prize", "The internet users' favorite", "The visitors' favorite". Indeed, throughout the Mes Créateurs Joailliers show, visitors will vote on tablets provided to elect their favorite creation.
The trade day will be held on Monday, November 21, 2016. It will welcome professionals, distributors, and jewelers, in order to promote meetings with designers with a view to possible commercial agreements and distribution opportunities.
Myrtille Mousson, creator and organizer of the show, tells us about her journey: "For my wedding, I fell in love with a 1950s ring I spotted at a sale. This made me want to organize second-hand jewelry sales and learn more about stones. I trained in gemology, started creating my own jewelry, and met other designers until the day one of them told me they needed a space to exhibit. It was the beginning of a wonderful adventure. My challenge: To shine a spotlight on jewelry designers, who are often in their workshops, upstairs. I want to show a demanding public that there are alternative choices to big brands, combining the assurance of real quality with the pleasure of original creations that escape mass production."
The aim of this show: To make people want to be able to treat themselves to a unique, tailor-made piece of jewelry, in their image, without falling under the dictates of fashion.
The Mes Créateurs Joailliers show will also feature conferences and book signings.
With Patrick Voillot “On the trail of precious stones”, or Anna Tabakhova for “The clasp in jewelry, 4000 years of history”.
