We are wrapping up our coverage from GemGenève with this final overview by Ashley, our graduate intern. A heartfelt thank‑you to our Headline Sponsor, “Moyo by Piat” and Maison Piat, for their outstanding showcase at our booth and for sponsoring some of the gemstones that will be incorporated into the winning designs.

We are excited to introduce more of our sponsors soon and to share our full timeline as we move into production.
Watch this space! There is much more to come.

In this clip from GemGenève, Adrianne Sanogo, GIA gemologist and Gemstone Appreciation Judge of our Design Dynamic, explores how the winning designs captured the theme of birdlife and feathers, translating them into jewels, metals, and expressive movement. Her insight reflects exactly why this year’s brief sparked such extraordinary creativity.

We are incredibly proud of our winners and cannot wait to continue developing the next stage of their pieces together.
