How do the men of today feel about wearing jewellery? Historically speaking, men from all sorts of cultures and religious backgrounds have always worn jewellery, from the earliest prehistoric shell necklaces to the Maharajas’ jewels of the twentieth century; traditionally, it served to denote status, rank or some form of community affiliation.
Visitors will have a chance to ask themselves the question at the forthcoming edition of GemGenève, which runs from 8 to 11 May 2025 in Palexpo Halls 1 and 2.
