The sixth edition of the Luxury Monte-Carlo high jewellery exhibition opened to VIP guests at Le Méridien Beach Plaza, proving once more that diamonds are indeed a girl’s best friend.
On Thursday afternoon, the doors of the Sea Club opened, radiating light not from the Mediterranean skies, but from the exquisite jewellery displayed in elegant cases. Special guests were able to walk through the two-floor exhibition, engage with more than 50 international exhibitors showcasing their collections, learn their stories, and even try on the haute couture-quality jewels.
The event began with an unforgettable display of opulence, as guests tried on diamond necklaces, rings, and bracelets worth millions. The opening day continued with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and culminated in a charity dinner gala. Friday’s programme featured an awards ceremony with live performances, while Saturday came to a close with an exclusive fashion show and DJ set.
Celebrity-adored jewellery
One of the exhibition’s standouts was London-based designer Nadine Aysoy, presenting her collection featuring collapsible rings and necklaces with geometric diamond cuts. Her floating diamond illusion earrings drew particular attention, with Aysoy noting their recent celebrity appearance: “Actually, these earrings—the floating diamond illusion earrings—were worn by Scarlett Johansson just recently at one of the premieres of Jurassic Park.”
Aysoy’s work represented the type of contemporary design featured alongside more traditional haute joaillerie pieces throughout the exhibition.
Beyond the commercial aspect, the exhibition highlighted education about jewellery craftsmanship and design. Exhibitors were encouraged to share the stories behind their pieces, from sourcing to final creation.
The entertainment programme, organised by The Unique Show, aims to create an experience that extends beyond traditional trade show formats.
