French jewellery gets its first major showcase at the Tuileries in October 2026
Every season, Paris Fashion Week draws the world’s attention to French creativity, yet independent French jewellery had never had a shared platform to make itself heard within it. That is precisely the gap Francéclat intends to fill with Rendez-Vous, a brand-new trade event whose inaugural edition will take place from 2 to 5 October 2026 at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.
An event built for independent French jewellery
Paris Fashion Week has long exerted a powerful pull on the jewellery sector. The great Maisons hold court on the place Vendôme with their exhibitions and presentations, but independent fine jewellery and fashion jewellery brands had, until now, no structured collective showcase through which to capitalise on that seasonal energy.
Rendez-Vous was born from that observation. Driven by Francéclat and its Émergence programme, dedicated to French brands developing across watchmaking, jewellery and art de la table, the event offers a visibility framework designed to recur each season. The aim is to give the industry a regular fixture, firmly anchored in the fashion calendar.
24 brands and five spaces to reflect the breadth of French jewellery
At the heart of the event, a central stage brings together 24 brands spanning fashion jewellery and fine jewellery, among them Atelier Molinari, Lydia Courteille and Sylvia Toledano. These houses were selected for their ability to embody the diversity of contemporary French jewellery creation.
Around this central space, four thematic zones complete the curated journey. First, an exhibition titled Monographie du Bijou presents conceptual pieces inspired by the theme of the Garden. Then, a series of panel discussions called Les Conversations brings together experts and industry leaders to explore topics including new consumption patterns and brand desirability.
In addition, a photographic selection drawn from various issues of Émergence magazine is on offer for visitors. Finally, a bookshop gathers specialist titles connected to the sector. This five-part journey delivers a complete experience that goes well beyond a simple collection showcase.
- Central stage: 24 fashion jewellery and fine jewellery brands
- Monographie du Bijou: exhibition of conceptual pieces on the theme of the Garden
- Les Conversations: panel discussions on consumption and brand desirability
- Photographic selection: images drawn from issues of Émergence magazine
- Bookshop: specialist titles related to the sector
Francéclat, a federation with serious industry weight
Behind Rendez-Vous stands Francéclat, a federation bringing together 15,000 companies across three sectors: watchmaking, jewellery and art de la table. Together, these industries account for approximately 70,000 jobs and generate an estimated combined annual turnover of €15 billion.
Those figures speak to the scale of what is at stake. By launching Rendez-Vous, Francéclat is not simply adding another date to the professional calendar. It is building a collective showcase for a sector that, despite its economic weight, had lacked a visible point of convergence during Fashion Week.
What Rendez-Vous concretely changes for French jewellery professionals
For buyers, tastemakers and journalists in Paris in October 2026, the event now offers centralised access to a curated selection of French jewellery brands in a single location over four days. Rather than juggling scattered appointments, they can discover the full breadth of contemporary French creation in one cohesive journey.
For participating brands, inclusion in Francéclat’s Émergence programme represents a structured visibility opportunity, backed by a recognised calendar. The announced seasonal recurrence of the event sends a clear signal: Rendez-Vous is conceived as a lasting fixture, not a one-off initiative. Registration details and practical information are available on the event’s dedicated page.
