It is expected to host 243 traders and thousands of visitors from all over the world. But beyond the masterpieces of fine art, antiques and design, TEFAF offers some exceptional (and often unrecognized) jewelry not to be missed.
With more than 500 pieces of jewellery on display and for sale, the selection includes every type of piece. Bracelets, necklaces, rings, watches, pins and more from the usual suspects. Such as Van Cleef & Arpels (in particular, a dazzling sapphire and diamond necklace from the brand's Heritage collection, circa 1969). Also Hemmerle (another sapphire necklace, but with a completely different concept), as well as newer names.
Jeweller Anna Hu, for example, will present her contemporary designs for the first time in the exhibition. Pieces loved by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Natalie Portman.
The exhibition is therefore not only a place to recognise old brands, but also a place to discover new and emerging ones. Below, we present some of the must-see pieces from the exhibition and believe us, there are many more.
