It was there, in this dynamic landscape, that Art Deco jewelry took shape, and now reveals to you all its facets. 

During a series of three courses, come stroll through the Pavilion of Jewelry at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts. Let the spirit of the 1920s carry you, and discover the key role of jewelry and jewelers in the emergence of this contemporary style.
