“A Jewel of an Exhibit!” is first and foremost a scenography of spectacular and unconventional showcases, audaciously orchestrated by Odile Souchon (window dresser, stylist). Thus, about twenty showcases unfold to the rhythm of the chromatic prism (each showcase has its own hue) where everyday objects mingle with and enhance a multitude of truly original jewels selected by color, material, and evocation typology…
Where “A Jewel of an Exhibit!” is extraordinarily rich is particularly in the diversity of what is shown to us: the range of prices, first of all, which goes from €100 to €12,000 for more than 200 pieces of jewelry on display…
But what fascinates above all is the wonderfully coherent coexistence of classic or totally extravagant jewels, with very sophisticated shapes and others much more sober. Materials as noble as diamond, gold, fine stones and precious stones blend with ceramics, wood, resin, or even fur. Pearls, opals, and rose gold take on minimal or completely summery and bold looks, a starfish ring takes your breath away with its craftsmanship, and quartzes display all their states. Silver marks its territory and once again proves its creativity through often generous volumes associated with mother-of-pearl or enamel…
In short, you will have understood, it is rare to encounter such a range and such a palette of pieces from current jewelry, such a spectrum of jewelry at the forefront of women’s fashion.
If you live in Nice or the region, be sure to visit the prestigious Palais de la Méditerranée to discover this surprising and beautiful exhibition.
