Ronny Totah emphasizes: “After the success of the May 2022 edition and following demands from our exhibitors, we decided to organise a second edition in November 2022 in Geneva but that won’t become the norm in future.” This autumn edition 2022 is expected to be extraordinary, offering a 360-degree panoramic view into the core of jewelry, precious stones, rare and unique gems, pearls, antique jewelry and historical and contemporary works. Unprecedented in its kind, this show will allow visitors to discover, touch, feel the beauty of such exceptional jewels and to learn and receive advice from highly qualified professionals: thus, making it easier to purchase spontaneously at the moment if they find the right piece. In a space dedicated to contemporary creativity, GemGenève is proud to welcome nine talented designers, including four Emerging Talents and five Designers.
