Paris A/W 2026 Show Preview

A mix of approximately 28 global, cutting-edge designers and trained bench jewelers, all who embrace artistry, craft, imagination and innovative technologies mixed with old world techniques will gather together for NouvelleBox’s Paris A/W 2026 Show, from March 5th-9th at 40 Rue de Richelieu 75001 Paris. A range of emerging newcomers will debut their collections alongside independents that have been showing for many seasons. Here is a preview of some of the designers who will be showing.

Sig Ward, who launched her eponymous collection in 2014 is based in Southern California. She draws inspiration from organic shapes and oceanic hues as well as her mother’s vast collection of vintage heirlooms. She combines these influences with her affinity for gemstones with healing properties, resulting in pieces that are at once meaningful, naturalistic and reflect the past with a contemporary spirit and sensibility.

Renato Cipullo’s iconic designs evoke Italian design at its finest. Renato’s work is inspired by nature, romance, antiquity, and the Renaissance. The collection is steeped in old world tradition but with a strong eye on the here and now. Serena Cipullo, Renato’s daughter, is now at the helm of the brand alongside Renato. Working in close collaboration, this father daughter duo is continuing the Cipullo family tradition of timeless designs and flawless craftsmanship.

Lito Karakostanoglou blends modernism, romance and futurism into her collection. Lito was originally trained in sculpture and technical drawing in Paris, and that training translates into miniature works of art to wear. She travels the world sourcing rare stones and materials, transforming them into bold, sensitive pieces. Since 1999, her Athens atelier-boutique, Cabinet des Curiosités, has showcased her pieces and her wholesale line is carried in galleries and stores across three continents.

Designer Setenay Orman, who launched her collection in 2018 is driven by emotional and characteristic expression. Each collection begins with a feeling or observation. She explains, “Our philosophy is our design language. Rather than repeating shapes or motifs, Orman  follows a conceptual logic: each emotion forms its own design element, each story finds its own silhouette. The result is a family of forms, distinct in pattern yet united by the same sensibility — sculptural, intentional, and produced meticulously with the help of experienced craftsmen in Istanbul.” All pieces are made to order, all to ensure quality while keeping  with Setenay's belief that fine jewelry is not a subject of mass production, but rather a piece of labor and devotion for each unique owner.

Lebanese jeweler Noor Fares creates soulful contemporary talisman that reflect a blend of cultures, gathered from her extensive travels. She draws inspiration from mystical symbols of India and the intricate geometric patterns of Middle Eastern architecture. The gemstones in her collection are hand carved and celebrate the beauty of natural inclusions.

Nayla Arida derives her inspiration from her native Beirut, “the bustling and captivating city, the capital of all contrasts and the melting pot of different cultures that intermingle daily.” Says the designer. Her pieces are imbued with a poetic or lyrical feel. She works with a variety of precious gems and hardstones to create her collection, accent by diamonds. “My creations, celebrate beauty and the fragility of nature.”

Brazilian-born, New York-based Moritz Glik blends classical architecture and fine art influences with avant-garde yet elegant feeling. Each handcrafted piece from his collections showcases his signature approach to jewelry design, marked by the playful yet elegant Kaleidoscope Shaker™. This technique encapsulates shimmering full-cut gems within white sapphire windowpanes and 18-karat gold, creating a dynamic dance of light and color with every movement of the wearer.

North Yorkshire born and Londo-based Megan Brown grew up surrounded by the industrial machinery of her family’s century-old textile mill. She captures the tactile elements and dynamic movement of the looms in her jewelry collection. Her pieces spun out of gold evoke intricate woven textures punctuated by precious gemstones.

The Danish born sister Joy and Sarah Haugaard, based in NYC founded the collection of Lionheart. The duo blends vintage influences, family heirlooms, and a deep love of gemstones. Symbolic charms are designed for layering, are handcrafted and rooted in courage, resilience, and other meaningful imagery. Statement chains form the base of which to attach one or multiple pendants to reflect each individual’s own life story.

Danish designer Lene Vibe launched her collection in 2002. Her impetus for the collection is a lyrical view of nature, from tending her garden to traipsing through the forest and spending time by the ocean. Trained as a goldsmith at George Jensen, Lene explains, “I don’t sketch any of the pieces first; it seems to all take place in my imagination and comes out in the way in which I approach the metal. My pieces have a three-dimensional quality and are brought to life in 18K gold, a range of pearls, colored gemstones and polished rough cut and raw diamonds." Her collection features playful creatures and intricate flowers that evoke a sense of whimsy and joyfulness in their placement surrounding the stones and pearls with which she works.

London-based Jet McQuiston is one of the new wave of artist jewelers who explores ways that jewellery can hold meaning allegorically. Her pieces memorialise people, relationships and historical references. The collection is made in the UK with fully traceable materials and with a blend of specialized craft and contemporary processes.

Beirut-based Clara Chehab first launched her fine jewelry collection in Paris in 2023 and has since built an international following. Clara juxtaposes raw gemstones such as aquamarine, imperial topaz and tourmaline with a mix of vibrantly colored faceted stones. The result is a collection filled with striking one-of-a-kind or limited-edition pieces that are powerful with a chic bohemian edge. She describes herself as “a traveler and global citizen at heart.”

London-based award winning goldsmith and engraver Castro Smith’s designs are inspired by conversations with his clients - tales of their lives and dreams. He researches and draws, building personal mythologies around the pieces, with glimpses of hidden secrets within. Rather than adhering to traditional seal engraving, Castro experiments with form-making, stone-setting, texturing and plating without compromising on the resilience and quality of a time-honored skill.

Milan-born and based, Bea Bongiasca’s influences stems from her passion for pop culture, contemporary art and design and for vivid, happy colors. She takes a high-spirited and non-conventional approach to jewelry which resonates with a new generation of collectors. Her signature pieces feature bright enamel colors and a bold, 60’s inspired Mod feeling with a contemporary twist.

Rosanna Fielder, a vintage collector and jewelry enthusiast launched Wyld Box Jewelry, a collection of distinctive, bold fine jewelry with a nod to the essence of Art Deco design. Her approach was to create pieces that mirror a wearers individuality and also celebrate strength and grace through her inaugural Luna Collection.
