Cocktails, Glitz & Glamour
February 11, 2021
David Bowie was the poster boy for androgynous glam-rock and Diane Von Furstenberg just designed the now-iconic wrap dress that took you from your desk to Studio 54 where Bianca rolled in on a stallion and Diana tore up the floor.
But the real question is... what kind of jewellery were they wearing ?
Christie's jewellery specialist Marie-Cécile Cisamolo and The Glitterati co-founder Melissa Wolfgang Amenc have a cocktail and chat about the inspiration and audacity behind the jewels of the 1970's.

La Panthère
May 6, 2021
Join The Glitterati with Pascale Lepeu, Curator of the Cartier Collection for a talk about Jeanne Toussaint, the creative force behind some of Cartier's most iconic jewels. Revolutionary in every way, the famous "Toussaint Taste" was seen on some of the world's most stylish women; from bejewelled brocade handbags to creating jewels for Wallis Simpson, Barbara Hutton, Nina Dyer and Daisy Fellowes, to name only a few. A trailblazer and an inspiration, a strong-willed woman and a legendary lady if there ever was one!

Rouvenat: From the 2nd Empire to the Circular Economy
February 15, 2023
Marie Berthelon, CEO of Rouvenat, enthusiastically embarked on a quest to bring the brand’s incredible past back to light. More than 3,000 period gouaches, grouped in 12 leather-bound notebooks in perfect condition, were found at a Parisian antique dealer’s. They testify, if it were still needed, the genius of Leon Rouvenat. Marie Berthelon acquired them with pride and entrusted this treasure to Sandrine de Laage who drew her inspiration from them and revived, through her own drawings, anminherited aestheticism, enriched by the jewellery techniques of the 21st century.
