The long-awaited exhibition dedicated to women in the field of contemporary jewelry opens its doors from June 29 to July 27, 2024 and is held in the majestic setting of the former Abbey of the Château de Saumur.
Jean-Yves Le Mignot, known for his innovative cultural initiatives in the field of contemporary jewelry, presents an unprecedented exhibition in partnership with the city of Saumur and the Institut de Bijouterie de Saumur. This major exhibition promises a captivating immersion in the bright universe of female creativity. It is adorned with the fabrics of femininity and reveals the bursts of light that illuminate the world of contemporary jewelry.
The objective of this event is to offer a renewed look at the art of jewelry, highlighting the excellence and diversity of contemporary creations. Thirty internationally renowned artists and jewelers will be gathered to present unique jewelry, specially designed for this occasion.
This artistic meeting will be rich in surprises, with creations combining traditional manufacturing techniques with avant-garde technological innovations. Each piece on display reveals the audacity and creativity of the artists, offering visitors an immersive experience at the heart of contemporary jewelry.
The jewelry institute, a committed partner of this project, enriches the exhibition by associating apprentices and students with this artistic adventure. These young talents will have the opportunity to work on the same theme as confirmed artists, thus creating a dialogue between past and present, tradition and modernity.
This exhibition offers an unmissable event for all art and jewelry lovers, providing a fascinating exploration of the world of contemporary jewelry. We look forward to welcoming you to this unforgettable event.
