The Petit Palais in Paris is set to unveil an intriguing exhibition titled 'Jewelry Designs: Secrets of the Creation' that displays a remarkable collection of over 5,500 jewelry design drawings, many rarely seen before in France. The exhibition will present around 350 items, primarily focusing on 235 sketches created between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. Co-curator Clara Roca highlighted how these sketches reveal every step of the design process and aims to showcase how inspiration and artistic processes contribute to creating jewelry, specifically including design work from renowned designers like Rene Lalique and Charles Jacqueau.
Since the 1990s, the Petit Palais in Paris has harbored a unique collection of thousands of jewelry design drawings, most of which haven’t been previously showcased.
Clara Roca, co-curator for the upcoming exhibition, noted, "I'm never asked about these drawings, and I realize it's because nobody knows they are here," emphasizing the collection's underappreciation.
