4 pm · Conversation on Understanding Art Deco Jewels
What is Art Deco? Why does it have this name? How did it conquer the world? This fascinating style combined traditional luxury with modern inspirations in all areas of the decorative arts: furniture, glass, couture and of course jewelry. Let's go to the sources of the inspirations that jewelers used so much to set the tone of the famous "Roaring Twenties"!
5:30 pm · Cocktail Reception
Following the conversation on Art Deco jewels, attendees are invited to join for a reception in the golden salon to mingle and connect.
