Haute Jewels Geneva was founded in 2019 and timed with the annual watch shows in Geneva, including Watches & Wonders, where buyers were congregating. It was canceled for the past two years because of Covid, but despite the two-year absence and being relatively new, the organizers say it was a “huge success” 

“The 2022 edition of Haute Jewels Geneva was an unequivocal success. We feel the triumph of this show marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the jewelry industry,” said the show’s founder, Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London. “Smaller trade events composed of like minded brands can deliver a more targeted, luxury experience which is more enjoyable and beneficial to both the brands and the visitors. We look forward enthusiastically to the 2023 edition of Haute Jewels Geneva.” 

Hakimian added that the event delivered what was promised: a luxurious, intimate environment for jewelry brands to conduct business.
