A pearl of history and elegance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Sinceancient times<\/strong>, pearls have fascinated civilizations, particularly in France, where they have become a symbol ofelegance and refinement<\/strong>. Trade in pearls developed between the Arabian Gulf and Europe<\/strong>, reaching its peak between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. <\/p>\n\n

In the Roaring Twenties<\/strong>, pearls enjoyed a meteoric rise, driven by the great Maisons of Place Vend\u00f4me<\/strong>, who made them an icon of luxury. Fine or cultured, pearls became one of the most coveted jewels, embodying both modernity and timelessness<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

A unique sensory immersion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The “Paris, capital of the pearl”<\/strong> exhibition, orchestrated by L’\u00c9cole des Arts Joailliers<\/strong> with the support of Van Cleef & Arpels<\/strong>, offers a unique experience. Through a hundred exceptional pieces<\/strong>, it explores the secrets of the pearl<\/strong>, its evolution through the centuries and its influence on art and fashion. <\/p>\n\n
