On November 13, 2025, Monaco’s elegant One Monte-Carlo welcomed a distinguished guest: Princess Charlene, who visited the Joya Jewelry Fair for its second consecutive year. Known for showcasing exceptional jewelry from across the globe, the fair combines the allure of ancient treasures with the creativity of contemporary designers.
Accompanied by Delphine Pastor-Reiss and Vanessa Margowski, the fair’s founders, Princess Charlene took her time exploring the exhibition. Dressed in a chic black-and-white trouser suit, she moved gracefully from booth to booth, pausing to admire each piece and engaging warmly with the artisans. Her genuine curiosity and delight were evident as she listened intently to the stories behind the creations.
This year, the fair featured 15 carefully selected exhibitors, presenting a diverse array of jewelry—from vintage and antique pieces to modern and experimental designs. Among those who caught the princess’s attention were Elie Top, Eliane Fattal, Griegst, and Alix Dumas. “She showed real interest in each exhibitor’s work, asking thoughtful questions and sharing her impressions,” said Delphine Pastor-Reiss.
Placed under the High Patronage of Prince Albert, the Joya Jewelry Fair is more than an exhibition—it is a journey through the history, craftsmanship, and artistry of jewelry. Visitors can experience everything from archaeological finds and vintage classics to contemporary innovations, all in a single, beautifully curated space.
Though still relatively new to Monaco’s cultural scene, Joya is rapidly establishing itself as a key international event, bringing together galleries and designers from across the world. Princess Charlene’s visit highlights the growing prominence of the fair and the principality’s commitment to supporting the arts and craftsmanship.
Reflecting on the day, Delphine Pastor-Reiss said, “We were deeply honored by Princess Charlene’s presence. Her enthusiasm, interest, and engagement with our exhibitors made the event even more special.”
Le salon de la joaillerie Joya reste ouvert jusqu’au 16 novembre 2025 , offrant aux visiteurs une occasion rare de découvrir une collection exceptionnelle de bijoux et de vivre la magie du nouveau joyau culturel de Monaco.
