Men’s Jewelry, Signs & Insignia (In-Person Conversation)

Today overshadowed by female jewelry, male jewelry has long been a real craze. Much more than an element of adornment, it is at once a social and cultural marker, an instrument of power assertion, a communication tool and a fashion accessory. It crosses symbolic and ornamental functions.

Our In-Person Conversations

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.
