Collecting Men’s Rings with Victor Gastou (In-Person Conversation)

Yves Gastou, a great ring lover and wearer, gathered throughout his life a collection which is both intimate and symbolic. It gives us a historical and eclectic panorama of this jewel with a man’s eye, worn by the bishop and the emperor as well as by the biker and the rocker. Like a true sculpture, the man’s ring is approached here in the multiplicity of these facets.

Brought together by their curiosity and love of jewelry culture, speakers and listeners are invited to meet at a cocktail reception preceding the talk. Often initiated during this convivial moment, exchanges prove to be as spontaneous as they are instructive. They continue to grow throughout the talk, which is organized around L'ÉCOLE's three main pillars: the History of Jewelry, the World of Gemstones and the Savoir-Faire. Participating in these conversations hosted by L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts allows you to join a community of curious enthusiasts eager to discover and learn.
