Parcours Bijoux

This jewellery stands for an open and generous approach to an organic practice nurtured by a huge diversity of works and techniques. It's a complex world in itself, lying somewhere between contemporary art, craftsmanship, fashion, applied art and design, without disowning its family-at-large: adornment, nor its topics: the object and the body. And the avant-garde sometimes even frees itself of both these aspects and of materials and techniques as well.
Each time, private and institutional partners have elected to support this multiple and multifaceted event. In effect, these distinguished endorsements have perpetuated the event, and will durably inscribe contemporary jewellery in the cultural landscape.


Parcours Bijoux aims:

• To create loyalty in a community of enlightened amateurs and knowledgeable collectors as well as attract new audiences.
• To promote exchanges between the different actors of the jewel: artists, galleries, museums, theorists, historians, collectors and the general public.
• To sets the stage for a dialogue between various media and cultures, and contributes to the development of theoretical thinking by bringing together sociologists, anthropologists, and historians.
• To raise public awareness of the creative dimension of jewellery and crafts in general, and their key role within the contemporary social challenges and discussions.
• To increase the role of Paris as a major actor in the international contemporary jewellery scene.

Parcours Bijoux is organized by the association D’un bijou à l’autre. Created in 2011, D’un bijou à l’autre is an association of professionals in the contemporary jewellery field as well as artists from other areas. In order to highlight contemporary jewellery within the jewellery scene, the association launches in 2011 their first international call for entries to their first edition organized in 2013. Motivated by the success of this first edition, D'un bijou à l'autre organizes the second edition of Parcours Bijoux in 2017, and the third to take place in October 2020.

This major project has been dreamt about, carried, and organized by the association volunteer members, and has been made possible thanks to the energy, the high spirits, and the commitment of each one.
Confident of the stimulating potential of the Parcours Bijoux Festival within the jewellery field, the association has built a network of professionals whose collaboration allows this event to come to life.
