The French Jewellery Selection: the event dedicated to French jewellery in Geneva

Meet a dozen French jewellery houses.

Running alongside Watches & Wonders 2026, Francéclat presents The French Jewellery Selection, a pop-up exhibition bringing together a dozen of France’s most exciting jewellery Maisons. Hosted in the suites on the fifth floor of the Hôtel Président Wilson from 13–17 April, the event offers an intimate format designed to foster connections between international buyers, distributors, and specialist media.

The selection provides a concise yet representative snapshot of contemporary French design: established names, independent houses, and diverse creative approaches, all anchored in the excellence of savoir‑faire. Each brand will present its latest creations alongside iconic pieces, crafted to capture the attention of a global market in search of style, identity, and novelties.

French Houses to discover:

Akillis – Graphic expression of instinctive jewellery

Since 2007, Akillis has championed a sharp, personal creative aesthetic. The Maison plays with clean lines, iconic motifs, and a confidently unisex style.

Featured collection: Python
Akillis reinterprets the serpent as a contemporary motif: a graphic, almost architectural line that becomes a distinctive signature. Stylised scales and articulated elements flow with the body, creating movement that feels effortless. A collection made to be experienced in the hand, where its form and volume truly come alive when worn.

Copin – Heritage reimagined with precision

Founded in 1870, Copin is a discreet house whose archives fuel strikingly modern creativity. Lines are pure, volumes structured, and proportions meticulously controlled.

Featured collection: 82
Based on a 1982 model, this ring alternates gold gadroons in yellow, pink, and white, creating a bold yet essential contemporary piece. Manual assembly and precise design give it both strength and timeless appeal.

Djula – The transgressive side of French glamour

Since 1994, Djula has earned an international reputation for glam‑rock style. Accessible yet graphic diamond pieces appeal to a young, urban, expressive clientele.

Featured collection: Endless
A continuous line symbolising personal assertion. Baguette diamonds trace clear paths, energised by the rhythm of brilliant cuts. A collection for those seeking diamond jewellery to wear layered and stacked.

La Brune & La Blonde – Diamonds in their purest form

Known for ‘naked’ diamonds – pierced and set without a traditional prong setting – La Brune & La Blonde highlights the stone, its brilliance, and its natural movement.

Collection mise en lumière : Lune & Soleil
Inspirée du dialogue entre ombre et lumière, cette nouvelle ligne joue sur la mise en liberté du diamant. Les rayons et godrons prolongent la brillance, créant une esthétique sobre mais très lumineuse. Une collection dont l’effet est particulièrement fort grâce à l’impression de pierres flottantes.

Marie Mas – Jewellery in motion

Marie Mas designs pieces that truly come to life as they move across the skin. Her creations rely on innovative mechanisms and a highly contemporary interpretation of gemstones, where balance and movement are at the heart of the design.

Featured collection: Luminous Lines – Chapitre Perle
Here, the pearl becomes a mobile, almost ethereal element. Set against diamond‑studded undulations, it appears to float on the skin. Pieces are designed for layering, allowing the wearer to create a personalised style.

Mellerio – Parisian style rooted in heritage

The world’s oldest family-run jewellery house, Mellerio draws on over four centuries of history to craft an elegant, cultivated Parisian aesthetic.

Featured collection: Le Cabinet de Curiosités
A series of charms and talismanic medals inspired by the unusual and mysterious objects of the Renaissance. Designed to be worn in layers, they offer a collectible, modular concept.

Morganne Bello – The purity of fine gemstones

Since 2002, Morganne Bello has celebrated colour through meticulously selected gemstones, cut into its iconic shapes.

Featured collection: Friandise
The Friandise sautoir in onyx and yellow gold presents a pared-back design: the chain passes through the stone, without claws or settings, creating a fluid silhouette. A refined piece, understated yet unmistakably distinctive.

Nouvel Héritage – Jewellery as personal narrative

Born in a workshop where jewellery is a way of life and beauty inspires the future, Nouvel Héritage explores personal storytelling through adornment.

Featured collection: Mood

Inspired by punk aesthetics and reimagined piercings, each piece is named after a daily-life moment – from “Monday Morning” to “Dinner Date” – echoing moments of everyday life.

Statement – Jewellery of assertion

With a keen artistic vision, Statement by Amélie Huynh designs talismanic jewellery that embodies confidence and personal fulfilment.

Featured collection: Rockaway
Influenced by brutalism, Rockaway explores sculptural volumes with clean, bold lines. Pieces make a strong, instantly recognisable statement for those seeking jewellery with presence and character.

Viltier – Bold and sunlit modernity

Founded in 2020 by two childhood friends, Viltier quickly established itself on the international jewellery scene with a contemporary approach to design.

Featured collection: Edge
Awarded for innovation, Edge features stones set along the tube’s edge, visible from underneath, close to the skin, a technical and stylistic choice that intrigues and captivates. Edge has become the Maison’s signature design.
