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. The creations rely on innovative mechanisms and a creative approach, putting balance and movement at the heart of the design.

Featured collection: Luminous Lines – The Pearl
Here, the pearl appears to float on the skin, carried by the fluid rhythm of diamond undulations that catch and diffuse the light. The collection offers a contemporary and playful vision, with jewellery that can be stacked together, offering the possibility to create your own look.

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

Founded in 2002, the Morganne Bello Maison has developed an instantly recognisable style, combining iconic cuts with the natural beauty of meticulously selected and hand‑cut gemstones.

Featured collection: Victoria Diamonds
A delicate pavé of diamonds frames and enhances the central stone, reflecting a timeless vision of jewellery craftsmanship.

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.
