Bijoux de Femmes

This exhibition brings together 32 international jewellers, including Sophie Hanagarth, Mari Ishikawa, Einav Benzano, Cathy Chotard, Florence Lehmann and Märta Mattsson. For the occasion, they pay tribute to women who have inspired or influenced their lives, whether artists, politicians, family members or friends.
A number of students from the Institut de Bijouterie de Saumur will also be exhibiting their work.

In July 2024, the school presented an exhibition entitled ‘Bijoux de femmes, de femme à femme’ in the abbey church of the Château de Saumur. To enhance the exhibition, apprentices and students from the Institute were involved in this artistic adventure. These young talents had the opportunity to work on the same theme as the established artists during a 4-day workshop led by two of the school's instructors: Einav Benzano and Rémy Bonneau, creating a dialogue between past and present, between tradition and modernity.
