Haute Jewels Geneva was born on the ashes of the dissolution of Baselworld and in conjunction with the other major event in the Swiss city, Watches and Wonders, dedicated to the world of haute horlogerie, which this year is held from 27 March to 2 April. Haute Jewels Geneva, organized inside the hotel overlooking the lake, is an appointment dedicated to discretion in a soft environment. Although Haute Jewels Geneva has grown since its inception, the organizers note, «one of its main objectives remains to remove the formality from the traditional trade fair experience, offering a relaxed atmosphere for both customers and exhibitors to discover exclusive jewelery designs».

Bayco’s new high jewelery

High jewelery at the event dedicated to high jewelery. It’s obvious, for Bayco. The New York Maison was present among the 18 brands of Haute Jewels Geneva. And, of course, it featured some high-end jewelry, based on Burmese pigeon blood rubies, cornflower blue Kashmiri sapphires, bright green Colombian emeralds, as well as diamonds with the best features.

Ring featuring a remarkable natural unheated 20.24 carat cabochon Burma ruby and 6 — Anello caratterizzato da uno straordinario rubino birmano cabochon naturale non riscaldato da 20,24 carati e da 6,94 carati di diamanti tondi taglio brillante e incolori a forma di aquilone incastonati in platino

The Maison was founded in the States in 1981 by the brothers Moris and Giacomo Hadjibay, who grew up in Italy, where their father, Amir Hadjibay, a famous merchant of precious stones (but also of equally precious carpets), had settled in 1959. Long journeys between Iran and India, including visits to the maharajahs, over the years have endowed the house with exceptional gems. Stones that have remained in the tradition of the Maison, which has earned a reputation for intransigence in the selection and quality of its choices for top-of-the-range jewelry, now with the help of the third generation with Marco and Manuel Hadjibay. The business, which began with the production of high-end jewelry then sold by other famous Maison, has evolved and now Bayco represents a guarantee of quality, often with stones that represent unique pieces.

The idea worked. The report of Haute Jewels Geneva, which was held at the Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva in conjunction with Watch & Wonders in the Swiss city on Lake Geneva, had a positive response. The event was attended by 18 big names in jewelry: Yoko London, Roberto Coin, Crivelli, Sutra, Bayco, Eto Maria, Stenzhorn, Marco Bicego, Mariani, Palmiero, Picchiotti, Gorgoglione, Hans D. Krieger, Leo Pizzo, Verdi, Annamaria Cammilli , Barakà and Sicis.

The 2022 edition of Haute Jewels Geneva was an unequivocal success. We believe the triumph of this show marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the jewelry industry. Smaller commercial events composed of like-minded brands can offer a more focused, more enjoyable and beneficial luxury experience for both brands and visitors. We look forward to the 2023 edition of Haute Jewels Geneva.

The success of the “mini Baselword” is also due to the selection of brands and the atmosphere offered by the location. In the same hotel, although outside the Haute Jewels Geneva, there were also two other brands: Piero Milano and Dolce & Gabbana, an aspect that has probably contributed to attracting visitors.

The time has come for the small Baselworld of jewelry, as some have dubbed it. From March 30 to April 5, at the Fairmont Grand Hotel in Geneva, 18 great names in jewelry give life to Haute Jewels Geneva. This is an event born after the evaporation of Baselworld and in conjunction with Watches and Wonders, a fair centered on fine watchmaking that takes place on the same days in the Swiss city. A first experiment had already been organized in 2019, but with only four exhibitors and with the subsequent suspension due to the covid. Now, however, the organizers led by Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London, are back and with greater participation.

In all, therefore, the brands present at the Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva are 18, with a majority of Italian Maison: Yoko London, Roberto Coin, Sutra, Crivelli, Bayco, Etho Maria, Stenzhorn, Marco Bicego, Mariani, Palmiero, Picchiotti, Gorgoglione , Hans D. Krieger, Leo Pizzo, Verdi Gioielli, Annamaria Cammilli, Barakà, Sicis.

Haute Jewels expands with Barakà and Sicis

The group of brands that will participate in Haute Jewels Geneva, an event designed for an international audience, at the same time as Watches and Wonders, focused on fine watchmaking, is expanding. The two events will take place, in fact, on the same dates, from March 30 to April 5. Two Italian companies are now added to the patrol of brands announced in the autumn: Baraka and Sicis. The first specializes in jewelry for the male world. The second, on the other hand, is famous for the use of the micromosaic technique. In all, therefore, the brands exhibiting at the Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva will be 18: Yoko London, Roberto Coin, Sutra, Crivelli, Bayco, Etho Maria, Stenzhorn, Marco Bicego, Mariani, Palmiero, Picchiotti, Gorgoglione, Hans D. Krieger, Leo Pizzo, Verdi Gioielli, Annamaria Cammilli, Barakà, Sicis.

We are delighted to have had the opportunity to add two more prestigious global brands to the line-up at Haute Jewels Geneva. Sicis and Baraka will bring added allure and excitement to the group and it promises to be a magnificent event
Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London and founder of Haute Jewels Geneva

What promises to be a small exclusive fair was born from the need of jewelry companies to present themselves to an audience that no longer has the stage of Baselworld, which ended two years ago, at its disposal. A first taste of Haute Jewels Geneva took place already in 2019, with the first four jewelry brands (they were Yoko London, Crivelli, Sutra and Roberto Coin), while in the two previous years the idea was frozen by the epidemic. Visitors, in the organizers’ program, “will experience an intimate and luxurious environment for jewelry buyers and suppliers to conduct business, a concept that seems even more relevant after the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. With the opportunity to see each other face to face again, it promises to be a dynamic event, which combines the strength, creativity and experience of the participating brands “. Visitor registration is done on the site dedicated to the event.

Farewell Baselworld. The Maisons of jewelry organize their fair, in combination with Watches and Wonders, the event dedicated to the top timepiece brands. The novelty, on the other hand, is called Haute Jewels Geneva, the international fair of high jewelery, which will be held at the Fairmont Grand Hotel from 30 March to 5 April 2022, simultaneously with the event dedicated to watches. In short, no return to Basel. The first taste of Haute Jewels Geneva was in 2019, in January, with the participation of four brands (Yoko London, Roberto Coin, Crivelli and Sutra). The idea was liked and in 2020 the event was to be repeated with eight brands. But the pandemic forced the appointment to be canceled both in 2020 and in 2021.

In 2022, however, Haute Jewels Geneva will return with 16 major jewelry brands: Yoko London, Roberto Coin, Sutra, Crivelli, Bayco, Eto Maria, Stenzhorn, Marco Bicego, Mariani, Palmiero, Picchiotti, Gorgoglione, Hans D. Krieger, Leo Pizzo, Verdi, Annamaria Cammilli. The decision of the brands marks, perhaps, the tombstone on the former great Baselworld watch and jewelry fair. On the other hand, the world changes quickly.

Bayco, story of a luxe

Published on January 3, 2021

The story of one of the most emblazoned fine jewelry houses in America: Bayco ♦

Forty years ago the Iranian Gem Trader, Amir Hadjibay, was the first wheel of the engine that has sparked Bayco. After a passage to India and Italy, in 1981, his sons, Maurice and Giacomo (written just in Italian) have launched the company that is based in New York, downtown, and from 1994 began to produce their own jewelry. Now it is the turn of Mark and Manuel, third generation, but the basic idea is the same: “We make jewelery for kings and queens,” says James Hadjibay, co-CEO of Bayco Jewels.

It is not a proclamation only theoretical: the jewels of Bayco are the ultimate, and of course, are expensive even for the nobles of the planet. Everything it’s a heritage of patriarch Amir Hadjibay, who started traveling between Iran and India, to visit maharajah and treat large gemstones that were part of their heritage. Stones only for unique jewelry: brothers Hadjibay decided from the beginning that they would only create jewelry one-of-a-kind. Obviously the highest level: they not just be used diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires. The stones must be exceptional.

Bayco’s jewels are unique and very expensive: the price easily exceeds one million dollars. To protect this uniqueness, Bayco does not lend jewels to celebrities to parade on the red carpet during festivals or gala dinners. “It would be an insult to those who have paid all that money for our jewels and feel a step above compared to actresses and singers”, explained Marco Hadjibay. In short, these jewels are precious and just exclusive.

Style. Bayco mixes old and new trends: his pieces are often influenced by the Mogul period, the Muslim kings who ruled northern India for three centuries. Gorgeous jewelry, resisting to fashions, and are an asset for the future, as well as being of rare beauty. On the other hand the ancient gemological expertise of the family has not been lost: it’s part of their DNA. Matilde de Bounvilles

War of the jewelery fairs: Pasquale Bruni returns, but …

Published on January 17, 2020

news

Pasquale Bruni returns to participate in an event together with other jewelers. But this are not VicenzaOro and above all Baselworld. The jeweler of Valenza, who about a year ago decided to stop the usual presences in the two major European jewelery fairs, instead decided to join Haute Jewels Geneva, together with Yoko London (who is the promoter of the initiative), Crivelli , Roberto Coin, Sutra, Bayco, Etho Maria and Stenzhorn.

The surprise concerns both the mode and the choice of data. Haute Jewels Geneva, in fact, is held from 26 to 28 April, coinciding with the Sihh, the event dedicated to haute horlogerie which will always take place in the Swiss city from 26 to 29 April. Not only. Haute Jewels Geneva will precede Baselworld very little (April 30 – May 5).

And it is precisely this concentration of events that advised GemGenève, another high jewelery fair, to postpone research for the whole year (5-8 November). And so, Haute Jewels Geneva, which started last year with the presence of only four companies (Yoko London, Crivelli, Roberto Coin and Sutra), doubles this year. The idea is not to create a simple mini-fair, but to show the jewels in a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere: in fact, it will take place in the ballroom of the Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva (ex Grand Hotel Kempinski) from 10 at 20.

Bayco is a jewelry brand founded in New York in 1981 by brothers Moris and Giacomo Hadjibay, of Iranian origin. The two brothers, after spending their youth and apprenticeship in Italy, where they worked with his father Amir Hadjibay, expert and dealer in gems, have decided to launch its own brand in New York. With the experience accumulated in the family as part of the precious stones, the idea was quickly to create unique pieces, jewelry which put at the center rubies, emeralds, diamonds or sapphires. Bayco is now an established name of high jewelery and his pieces are required in markets around the world, partly because the traditional activities in the field of gems has not been abandoned.
The jewels, in short, are made as of the shape and specificity of the stones even before an abstract design. Examples are the ones chosen to Baselworld. The Burmese sapphire is out of the ordinary: it weighs 60 carats, has pan cutting sugar, and stands atop a ring paved with diamonds. The sapphire upper part is detachable from the ring and can be used as a pendant on a necklace. The ruby on ring, Burmese natural, unheated and extremely rare of this size, has a double row of pear-shaped colorless diamond weighing 14 carats total. It is considered by Bayco one of the most important gems in the world. Alessia Mongrando
