La Grace et L'Elegance du Gout Francais: The Jewelry of the 1925 Paris Exposition

The organizers of the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes invited renowned Paris jewelers Cartier, Boucheron, and Georges Fouquet among others to bring their most modern creations to the Exposition. Representing nearly a decade's worth of painstaking work, these jewels showcased the determination of French jewelry designers to join their compatriots in all areas of consumer manufacturing in bringing a new language of design to life.

Our speaker, Lisa Schoening will give an illustrated presentation on the breathtaking Art Deco creations that were displayed at the Exposition.

This is an in person event. The location will be announced as soon as it is confirmed. Please note that the start time is still tentative.

Lisa Schoening has been enamoured with jewels since childhood, and had the great good fortune to have spent much of her career teaching both the science of gems and the history of jewelry for the Gemological Institute of America and the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. She has spoken on jewelry history for the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles, the Gia Alumni Association, and the Womens Jewelry Association, and for thirty years has dragged her friends through any number of jewelry stores, auction houses, and museum exhibits in search of small sparkly objects of extraordinary value.
