Monte-Carlo, Principauté du Monaco, May 2026 - There are places that naturally belong to cinema. Places where elegance becomes atmosphere, where every detail appears suspended between reality and imagination. The Principauté de Monaco is one of them.

From 11 to 13 June 2026, the Principality once again becomes the setting for an international story of beauty, craftsmanship, and artistic excellence with the return of Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show, hosted at the beautiful Le Méridien Hotel Beach Sea Plaza. Like the opening sequence of a sophisticated European movie, the event unfolds along the Mediterranean coast following the energy and glamour of the Monaco Grand Prix season. Against this backdrop of Riviera elegance, collectors, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, buyers, family offices, investors, luxury media, and private clients from around the world gather in Monaco for an immersive journey through high jewellery, collectible watches, haute couture, gemstones, contemporary art, and luxury experiences.

Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show is not conceived as a traditional exhibition. It is designed as a narrative experience, a carefully curated story in three acts where heritage and innovation, craftsmanship and creativity, culture, and luxury all coexist within a single international platform. Participants from more than twenty countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North and South America, and Africa contribute to a global dialogue dedicated to excellence and artistic expression. As in every memorable film, the story begins with a vision.

ACT I. THE OPENING SCENE
​
Every great film begins by setting the atmosphere. At Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026, that atmosphere comes alive on 11 June with the exclusive VIP Opening Cocktail, the official opening scene of the exhibition’s three-day narrative. As the sun sets over the Mediterranean sea and Monaco lights begin reflecting across the sea, international collectors, luxury professionals, media representatives, institutions, and selected partners will enter a private world of exceptional jewellery, artistic installations, collectible watches, and haute couture creations.
The opening evening is conceived like the first sequence of a luxury motion picture:
intimate, refined, and emotionally immersive. Guests are invited not only to discover the participating maisons before the public opening, but to experience a sophisticated environment where conversation, networking, and storytelling become part of the exhibition itself. Further elevating the experience, selected VIP guests and media representatives will receive exclusive curated gifts by Luxe Aura, reinforcing the event’s commitment to hospitality, detail, and the art of luxury living.
Behind the scenes, an extensive international press tour transforms the exhibition into a dynamic cinematic set for luxury communication. Journalists, editors, and digital creators from across the globe will participate in guided discoveries, interviews with designers and jewelery brand founders, gemological demonstrations,
educational experiences, and couture presentations.
In this first act, Monaco is a symbolic setting where contemporary luxury is not only displayed, but narrated, curated, cherished.
​
ACT II. THE HEART OF THE STORY

As the narrative evolves, Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show reveals its deeper identity. Beyond the glamour lies the emotional and cultural core of the exhibition: craftsmanship, artistic dialogue, education, and innovation.
One of the central scenes of the event takes place on 12 June with The Unique Awards 2026, hosted by Baroness Marina Von Lison. Like a grand awards ceremony in a classic international film festival, the evening celebrates excellence in design, gemstones, craftsmanship, creativity, innovation, communication, and artistic identity. The awards honour not only technical mastery, but also emotional vision intended as the ability to transform materials into timeless creations.
At the center of the awards ceremony lies a jury conceived like the cast of an international auteur Film: diverse, visionary, and deeply connected to the worlds of luxury, creativity, and cultural storytelling.

Each category reflects a different interpretation of excellence within contemporary jewellery and luxury design. Azzurra Cesari will oversee the Sustainable Luxe category, celebrating responsible innovation and conscious craftsmanship, while Barbara Brocchi will lead the Avant Garde award dedicated to bold creative experimentation. Helena Blanchet will present The Muse Originality, honouring artistic individuality and narrative identity, while IEG Lab Monaco will judge both Gemstone Mastery and Diamond Excellence, recognizing technical expertise and gemological excellence.
The relationship between luxury and media storytelling will be explored through the Media Spotlight category curated by Bebe Bakshi, while Delia Grace Noble will oversee Monaco Glamour, a tribute to timeless Riviera elegance.
Finally, Baroness Marina Von Lison will preside over both Timeless Elegance and Guest Choice, reinforcing the ceremonial and cinematic atmosphere of an evening designed to celebrate not only jewellery itself, but the emotions, stories, and artistry behind every creation.

A particularly meaningful moment of the ceremony is the IED Roma Emerging Talent Award, developed in collaboration with IED Roma and curated by Dalila Daffara together with Alberto Enrico Federico Ferrario, President of The Unique Group. Like discovering a future star in independent cinema, the award reflects the event’s commitment to supporting emerging jewellery talent and encouraging new creative voices capable of shaping the future of luxury.
This philosophy continues through the IED Roma Tiara Open Call, an international initiative dedicated to reinterpreting one of history’s most iconic jewellery forms through a contemporary lens. Here, heritage becomes screenplay: historical symbols rewritten for a new generation.
Education also becomes part of the narrative rhythm of Luxury Monte-Carlo | The Unique Show. Throughout the exhibition, live demonstrations by IEG Lab Monaco will allow guests to explore the technical and gemological world behind exceptional jewellery creation.

At Luxury Monte-Carlo | The Unique Show craftsmanship is brought into the spotlight.

One of the exhibition’s most compelling scenes is the live artisanal workshop presented by Russo Cammei.
Like a close-up shot in auteur cinema, visitors witness the extraordinary precision of cameo carving in real time: the movement of artisans’ hands, the transformation of shell and gemstones, the patience behind every detail. The laboratory creates a powerful emotional connection between guests and the human craftsmanship behind luxury.
In a contemporary world increasingly dominated by speed and technology, the workshop becomes almost poetic, a reminder that true luxury still begins with human touch, time, and heritage.
At the same time, contemporary art installations and selected international artists further enrich the exhibition atmosphere, creating visual dialogues between jewellery and artistic expression. Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show thus expands as a cultural experience where objects tell stories, and craftsmanship becomes emotion.

The international cast of participating maisons reinforces the event’s global identity. Brands from Italy, Hong Kong, Brazil, the United States, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, India, Thailand, Switzerland, Armenia, Romania, Spain, Germany, China, Nigeria, France, the UAE, and Ukraine will present their creations in Monaco.
The participating brands include: Ali Diamonds (UAE), Akano Diamonds (Lagos), Anna Porcu Cameos (Italy), Augustin Watches (Romania), Aura By Nour (Lebanon), Barberis, Brivizo (Spain), Busatti Milano (Italy), Calix (Italy), CorDiam, Creous (UAE), Fabio Fanfani Gioielli (Italy), Gabriella Alicia (UK), GIE Jewels (India), House of Ravn (USA), Imperial Colors (Thailand), IN FINE Joaillier Créateur (Switzerland), Isabel Oliveira (Brazil), J.R. Diam Limited (Hong Kong), JJewels (Italy), Kholood Jewellery (Kuwait), Krisonia (Italy), LAJ Jewels, Lazzoro Jewelry House (Armenia), Liena Jewels (Germany), Miseno Italy (Italy), Modani Jewels (USA), Noi Gioielli (Italy), Nuovi Gioielli (Italy), Orital (Italy), Romain Regourd Joaillerie (France), Russo Camei (Italy), Salvadori (Italy), Sethi Firenze (Italy), Silvia Furmanovich (Brazil), Takat Gems (India), Tessitore (Italy), Zari, and Zheng Hong Collective (China).

Among them, Sethi Firenze returns following its successful participation in the previous edition. Renowned for combining Italian craftsmanship, gemstone identity, and contemporary elegance, the maison once again confirms Monaco as a strategic stage for connecting with international collectors and discerning clientele.

“Having exhibited in the 2025 edition of Luxury Monte Carlo, we are happy to be back to witness this year’s extravaganza. The show, thanks to its beautiful location and set up, provides a formidable platform for high jewellery brands like Sethi to showcase its one-of-a-kind collections. With the careful selection of brands by The Unique Show team, we know we are in good company. We are excited and look forward to meeting jewellery connoisseurs and discerning clients this year as well,” stated Sethi Firenze.

Another notable protagonist is House of Ravn, founded by gemologist Michael Kroeger, internationally known as bassist of Nickelback. His presence further reinforces the exhibition’s dialogue between luxury, art, music, and contemporary culture.

FINAL ACT. THE COUTURE FINALE

Every unforgettable film builds toward a final scene capable of leaving a lasting emotional impression. At Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show, that climax arrives on 13 June with the highly anticipated haute couture presentation by Antonio Riva Milano.
Renowned internationally for its sartorial savoir-faire and contemporary vision of haute couture, the Maison brings the excellence of Italian craftsmanship into the heart of Monaco through an immersive and diffused fashion presentation integrated throughout the exhibition venue. Rather than a traditional runway show, the presentation unfolds like a cinematic sequence moving through space: haute couture silhouettes appearing among high jewellery, prescious fabrics interacting with timeless gemstones, elegance blending
with architecture and light.
​

​
The dialogue between haute couture and high jewellery becomes natural, almost inevitable. Both worlds share the same language: attention to detail, manufacturing heritage, artisanal excellence, and timeless beauty.
“Participating in Luxury Monte-Carlo allows us to present our vision of haute couture within an international context that celebrates artisanal excellence and the savoir-faire of the Italian tailoring tradition. We share with the world of high jewelry the same attention to detail, quality, and manufacturing heritage - values that are once again becoming fundamental in a time of profound transformation for the luxury sector,” said Antonio Riva.
The presence of Antonio Riva Milano reinforces Luxury Monte-Carlo | The Unique Show’s role as a bridge between complementary worlds united by aesthetics, emotion, and craftsmanship.

As the curtain falls on Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show, the event ultimately reveals itself as an international cinematic experience dedicated to beauty, creativity, heritage, and human connection.
For three days, Monaco transforms into a living screenplay where jewellery, haute couture, art, culture, and craftsmanship coexist in a refined and emotionally immersive atmosphere.
The final credits are dedicated to the partners and institutions contributing to the vision of Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026 | The Unique Show: Antonio Riva Milano, IED Roma, IEG, Jewellery Review, Keller Trading, Le Méridien Beach Plaza, Luxe Aura, Visit Monaco, Vivanova, World Luxury Chamber, and David Rizescu.
Together, they contribute to an event that continues to redefine the language of contemporary luxury, one scene at a time.

By Nermin A. Editor

Paris, France - On January 12, 2016, a partnership began in Los Angeles that is based on a clear conviction: to stand permanently by the side of children. Together with UNICEF, which has been advocating for children's rights worldwide since 1945, Louis Vuitton has been pursuing a long-term vision in the service of future generations. Over the past ten years, this collaboration has grown consistently, driven by the Maison's values: education, transmission and responsibility. After renewed support for emergency relief programs, Louis Vuitton is now continuing its commitment to gender equality and women's empowerment.

A visible sign of this promise is the Silver Lockit collection launched in 2016 with bracelets, silver chain pendants and earrings – gender-neutral and an integral part of the range. Part of the proceeds goes to UNICEF every year; over ten years, 28 million US dollars were raised. The commitment is also lived internally: for example at the LV World Run, a solidarity run in Paris, or through the LV Reporters initiative, in which five LV employees accompany UNICEF teams on site every year and return with personal impressions.

For the tenth anniversary in 2026, new interpretations of the Silver Lockit collection, a new edition of the book REBONDS and the unique Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object including a specially made Louis Vuitton suitcase will be released. Starting June 9, it will be auctioned off in a ten-day international online auction at Sotheby's; the hammer price goes to UNICEF.


More details on LV x UNICEF's 10-year commitment:

POWER4Girls
In 2026, Louis Vuitton will also support POWER4Girls – a global initiative by UNICEF for girls and young women between the ages of 10 and 25 in 120 countries in South America, Africa and Asia. The programme strengthens their rights, education and economic self-reliance, tackles gender-based violence and promotes girls-led organisations. So far, 5.4 million girls and more than 11 million people in 15 countries have been reached. With Louis Vuitton's support, more than 100,000 girls will have access to education, health care and protection every year.

REBONDS – Reissue of a classic from 1998
A ball that goes from hand to hand – a simple, universal gesture that transcends age barriers, cultures and countries. With REBONDS, Louis Vuitton is turning it into a unifying symbol of shared commitment to children. First published in 1998 on the occasion of the Football World Cup in France – at that time with donations for UNICEF – the book is now being published in a new edition on the tenth anniversary of the partnership with UNICEF. REBONDS brings together around a hundred personalities from the worlds of film, music, art, sports and fashion, including Louis Vuitton ambassadors as well as Nigo, Céline Dion, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Pedro Almodóvar. Photographed in Paris, Tokyo, Beijing, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Shanghai, London and Avignon, the result is a visual narrative in which faces, cities and landscapes enter into dialogue with each other. The foreword was written by Pietro Beccari, CEO and Chairman of Louis Vuitton, and Felix, member of the Stray Kids group, Louis Vuitton ambassador and ambassador for UNICEF Korea – two voices united in the belief that shared commitment can bring about lasting change.

Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of its partnership with UNICEF, Louis Vuitton presents the Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object – a unique art object inspired by the iconic Monogram canvas ball. It combines the watchmaking of La Fabrique du Temps, the skill of L'Epée 1839 and the suitcase-making tradition of Louis Vuitton. From June 9 to 18, the object will be auctioned exclusively at Sotheby's; the entire proceeds of the award will go to UNICEF.

Silver Lockit 2026
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of its partnership with UNICEF, Louis Vuitton is expanding the Silver Lockit collection with three new limited-edition bracelets centered around the iconic mini lock: with a red ribbon, blue ribbon and a black and white version with a football-shaped charm – a nod to REBONDS and the Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object. The black bracelet will also become an integral part of the collection. Each cord bracelet and pair of earrings brings UNICEF a donation of $100, and each silver chain bracelet and lockit pendant $200. Since the launch of the collection in 2016, 28 million US dollars have been raised. The three new straps have been available in selected Louis Vuitton boutiques and on louisvuitton.com since April 24.

This June 2nd, Monaco sets the stage for another edition of Mercy Ships charity Gala and an unforgettable evening dedicated to raising life-changing funds for Mercy Ships—the global charity that delivers free, world-class surgical care to underserved communities via hospital ships.

Against the glittering backdrop of Monte-Carlo’s Port Hercule, the iconic Hall of Champions will host an exceptional evening that seamlessly marries haute sophistication with meaningful philanthropy.

The gala will feature an inspiring address illuminating the transformative work of Mercy Ships, whose mission of bringing hope and healing to communities in need resonates deeply with the spirit of compassionate luxury. Throughout the evening, both silent and live auctions will offer guests the opportunity to contribute to this vital cause, while world-class performances and curated entertainment ensure an atmosphere of elegance and celebration. This is more than a dinner—it is an intimate gathering where glamour meets generosity, and where the world’s most influential changemakers unite beneath the Mediterranean stars.

THE BARBAGIUANS INVOLVEMENT

The Barbagiuans of Monaco are a charitable football association founded by H.S.H. Prince Albert II, bringing together personalities from sport, entertainment and the Principality to support humanitarian causes through
solidarity-driven events. This year, they have chosen to support Mercy Ships, helping raise awareness and funds for its life-changing mission of delivering free surgeries and medical training across Africa.

Cannes Lions: A Night of Creative Leadership and Industry Change
Following a strong debut at Cannes Lions, the Financial Times and People Like Us return in May 2026 

​
May 21, 2026 Cap d'Antibes, France - The amfAR Gala, originally founded by Elizabeth Taylor 4o years ago, has become a part of Cannes Film Festival celebrations at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes, France, is presented by Swiss sustainable jewellery and watchmaker Chopard. American actress Geena Davis was stunning in a custom made designed by Robert Abi Nader at the amfAR Gala Cannes 2026 on May 21, 2026 in Cap d'Antibes. Geena Davis is the co-star of the official poster of the 79th Festival de Cannes, alongside colleague Susan Sarandon.

Considered to be one of the most emblematic Lebanese designers of his generation, Robert Abi Nader ​is renowned for the boldness of his creations and his lasting influence in the world of haute couture. He was the first — and youngest — Lebanese designer to be admitted to and graduate from the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, a distinction that marked the beginning of an exceptional career.

Early on, his talent caught the attention of the legendary Yves Saint Laurent, who invited him to join his fashion house for a formative internship. Robert Abi Nader later expanded his expertise within iconic maisons such as Claude Montana and Christian Dior, where he refined his artistic vision and couture craftsmanship.
In 1997, he unveiled his first collection at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, achieving immediate success across the Arab world and on the international fashion scene. He thus became the first Lebanese designer to present a collection during the official Paris Haute Couture season, paving the way for an entire generation of Lebanese designers.
After several years away from the Parisian runways, Robert Abi Nader made his highly anticipated return to the Haute Couture scene in Paris in 2021, once again showcasing his collections during Paris Haute Couture Week and reaffirming his place within the international fashion industry.

In 2026, he further confirmed his return to the global spotlight through a remarkable presence at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where his creations were featured in several prestigious placements, notably dressing acclaimed American actress Geena Davis for the amfAR Gala in Cannes.
Today, Robert Abi Nader stands as a prominent figure on the international fashion scene, with creations that embody a singular vision of couture where innovation, glamour, and artistic heritage meet with elegance.

​Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 Show at New York’s fine art gallery as the House of Louis Vuitton follows in steps of Chanel (2025), and Gucci this week which held its 2027 show at the Times Square...

LV is officially bringing its Cruise 2027 show to New York City. It was on Thursday, May 14, the French fashion house announced that Nicolas Ghesquière’s upcoming Cruise collection will be presented on May 20, 2026, at The Frick Collection on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, overlooking the posh neighbourhood and the Central Park.
The Moment Felix Arrived, Cameras Went Wild. Felix member of kpop group straykids,
​A story of two cities. For the #LouisVuitton Cruise 2027 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière creates connections – between the different identities and realities of Paris and New York, as well as between the different worlds within this city, their dichotomies and dualities.

New York has always been made up of diverse identities, a fusion of divergent cultures and experiences. Never unambiguous, but an amalgam of uptown and downtown, past and future, a place of different sensations and simultaneous attitudes. Beautiful contradictions, perfect contrasts. Therein lies the luxury of the homage.
As a pop-cultural experience, New York in the twenty-first century has an inherent universality – a place of longing, at the same time a travel destination and a starting point for cultural impulses. Louis Vuitton is characterized by a similar universality – known and understood worldwide. Pop Art, Pop Culture and Pop Luxury: the idea of the popular as a powerful medium to convey messages to everyone. The discovery of a leather trunk from the 1930s in the Louis Vuitton archives – radically redesigned into an actual canvas by contemporary American artist Keith Haring – links Louis Vuitton to Pop Art. This chance encounter becomes a central source of inspiration: a selection of Haring's works can be found on clothing and accessories. These, in turn, once again serve as canvases, honoring Haring's distinctive imagery and legacy.

Journeys between spaces, journeys between epochs. Here, the journey between identities becomes a journey of discovery. Between the salons of the Frick – a charged and meaningful environment, embedded in this metropolis, a place that makes it possible to experience other times and experiences. Just as Frick celebrates French decorative art from an American perspective, here different expressions of American style are framed by French savoir-faire – in an ongoing dialogue. Craftsmanship is able to refine reality and sublimate real wardrobes. Jeans, jersey and leather – a heritage of American style is reinterpreted here. In the American wardrobe lies the idea of American women and their character: dynamic, free and energetic. The depth of European cultural history and the breadth of the modern American experience – Old Masters and Pop Art, Old and New Worlds – are celebrated here at the same time.

Different connections, unexpected intersections. Different eras and identities of New York coexist in the looks, as well as in the fabric of the city itself. Fragments of pop culture—slot machines, car bodies, punched leather—and echoes of Gilded Age grandeur are recontextualized, embedded in clothing, or recreated as accessories: ways to honor their memory. The colors are vibrant, brilliant and optimistic. Graffiti-like passementerie or sequin embroidery create unexpected lace and lacing effects.

Bella Hadid wears custom Schiaparelli at the "La Bataille De Gaulle: L'Âge De Fer" (De Gaulle: Tilting Iron) screening at the 79th Festival de Cannes on May 20th. Hadid had an ivory gown that referenced Birkin look from the 1969, completely crafted in trompe-l’œil lace embroidery made of cords and anchor threads with a dramatic plunging neckline and tiered mermaid train. A black jewel element with teardrop details featured at Hadid’s waist and provided tonal contrast to the ornate look. Black corset lace detailing was also included at the back of the dress.

By combining elegance and performance—through its design, craftsmanship, and meticulous selection of gemstones—the CHANEL Haute Joaillerie Sport collection celebrates CHANEL’s sporty style for the first time in this field and highlights the element that defines a woman’s allure: movement. The line features minimalist designs to ensure the jewelry closely follows the body’s natural contours.

CHANEL and cinema is a longstanding story of love and devotion. Right from the beginning, Gabrielle Chanel forged unfailing links with this art form that was born around the same time as her. In tune with her fashion vocabulary and synonymous with modernity, cinema, more than any other art form, conjured up movement, audacity and dreams. In 1931, the couturière travelled to Hollywood at the invitation of American producer Samuel Goldwyn to dress Gloria Swanson and other actresses, having understood how fashion could use cinema to speak to all women. A friend and patron of great directors including Jean Cocteau, Luchino Visconti, Louis Malle and Alain Resnais, she dressed the actresses Romy Schneider, Jeanne Moreau and Delphine Seyrig, both on and off screen.

Karl Lagerfeld perpetuated this heritage by surrounding himself with actresses, who wore his creations in
films and on red carpets. The campaigns he shot for CHANEL featured Kristen Stewart, Margot Robbie,
Penélope Cruz, Tilda Swinton and Anna Mouglalis, all of whom continue to be loyal CHANEL ambassadors.
An avid film buff, the designer frequently went behind the camera himself to tell the CHANEL story on film.
Ever loyal to the artists with whom it works, CHANEL accompanies them throughout their careers. Under the
impetus of Matthieu Blazy, the House nurtures relationships based on friendship and loyalty with actresses,
from the great names of international cinema such as Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Zhou Xun, Go-eun Kim, Sakura Ando, Nana Komatsu and Gwei Lun-mei, to the new generation including Margaret Qualley, Lily-Rose Depp, Riley Keough and Ayo Edebiri.

The House also creates costumes for films by Olivier Assayas, Leos Carax, Greta Gerwig, Christophe Honoré, Richard Linklater and Sofia Coppola. Renowned auteurs such as Baz Luhrmann, James Gray, Martin Scorsese and Luca Guadagnino have likewise been entrusted with the creation of its campaigns for the CHANEL N°5 perfume.
With the utmost respect for the artistic gesture of directors, CHANEL never impinges on the freedom and singularity of each project, whether it involves the creation of costumes, production support or assistance with the launch of a film.
This long-term commitment takes many forms: support for festivals (the Lumière Festival, the Villa Medici
Film Festival, the Busan International Film Festival and most recently the Biarritz International Film Festival - NOUVELLES VAGUES), institutions and emblematic ceremonies(notably as Partner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to encourage emerging women filmmakers, as Major Patron of the Cinémathèque française and a Partner of the British Film Institute for the Filmmaker Awards...), and not forgetting the restoration of cinematic masterpieces (Last year at Marienbad by Alain Resnais, Ladies of the Park by Robert Bresson, Paris, Texas by Wim Wenders) ensuring that the history of cinema is handed down.
Faithful to the filmmakers and actresses who are close the House, CHANEL is dedicated to turning the
spotlight on bold and unique projects, all while supporting up-and-coming directors and new voices.

Monte-Carlo, Principauté du Monaco - The Unique Group announces the return of Luxury Monte-Carlo 2026, taking place from June 11 to 13 at Le Méridien Hotel Beach Sea Plaza in the Principality of Monaco.

The event reaffirms its place as a refined meeting point for haute joaillerie, where creation, dialogue, and discretion find their natural setting.
Conceived as a curated encounter rather than a large-scale exhibition, Luxury Monte-Carlo brings together an international community of collectors, private clients, designers, and industry voices.

“Luxury Monte-Carlo stands as a platform of continuity, bringing together brands,
designers, and emerging talents, including students, to foster a community united by
a shared vision of beauty and values. Because true luxury today is not only about
rarity, but about resilience, culture, and the future we choose to build, ”
- shares Dalila Daffara, Founder of The Unique Group.

As the signature format of The Unique Show, Luxury Monte-Carlo remains a distinctive presence within the international calendar, dedicated entirely to high jewelry. Over 60 carefully selected brands and designers will gather in Monaco, alongside a global audience of invited guests and media, thus confirming the event as a leading platform for the jewelry world.
The program will also feature The Unique Awards, celebrating talent, creativity, and excellence across the jewelry landscape. In parallel, a special fashion show by Antonio Riva Milano will pay tribute to haute couture, adding a further dimension of elegance to the experience.
