Précieuses Confluences:
the networking event for the french jewellery industry

Précieuses Confluences was set up and developed by the Union Française de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfèvrerie, des Pierres et des Perles or UFBJOP (the French association for the jewelry, gold- and silversmithery, stone and pearl industries). It is a joint industry initiative supported by Francéclat (France’s professional committee for economic development serving the watchmaking, jewelry, gold- and silversmithery and tableware sectors), with the shared aim of making businesses working in these sectors more competitive, ambitious and innovative and helping them raise their profile.

This event offers networking opportunities for all those working in the jewelry industry in France and beyond,from luxury brands to department and chain stores and retailers, as well as production studios and facilities, lapidaries, diamond merchants, stone and pearl dealers, those working in the artistic trades, designers, 3D designers and many more. It is open to those specializing in any aspect of the jewelry and watchmaking sector.

French and international brands and retailers are always on the lookout for fresh creative talent and skills, as well as production studios and facilities that can help them bring high-quality products to their customers and become more competitive.

This annual two-day networking event is held in Paris and offers attendees the opportunity to take part in 30-minute business meetings that will hopefully lead to professional partnerships

Attendees can continue networking and sharing their expertise with industry professionals and partners at the drinks reception held at the end of the first day.

THE ORGANIZERS

A joint industry initiative set up and developed by the Union Française de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfèvrerie, des Pierres et des Perles (UFBJOP) and supported by Francéclat.

“Year after year, on the strength of their successes and the power of their business trends, "Précieuses Confluences" expands to irrigate even further the world of French and international jewelry.
For its 11th edition, "Précieuses Confluences" 2023 will run over three days, to offer an even more enriching and in-depth experience for all participants.
This extension testifies to Union Française BJOP's commitment to constantly investing in new territories to intensify the richness of the encounters.
Thus, from October 24 to 26, 2023, "Précieuses Confluences" will blend the challenges of creation and innovation with environmental responsibility and sustainability issues. A way of affirming that the union, the confluence, between creation and environmental responsibility is essential to shaping a prosperous and ethical future for French jewelry.”

Daniel CambourPRESIDENT OF THE UFBJOP

“The French jewelry industry has shown itself to be determined and dynamic in confronting the global upheaval caused by the pandemic. Today, it is ready to take on the international challenges facing the jewelry market. Précieuses Confluences 2022, the international networking event for our industry, is now proving crucial in ensuring that the real-life and virtual connections between those working in the jewelry and watchmaking sectors can continue to flourish. In line with its remit, the UFBJOP is committed to making this event a success.”

Bernadette Pinet-CuoqEXECUTIVE PRESIDENT OF THE UFBJOP AND PRESIDENT OF THE HAUTE ÉCOLE DE JOAILLERIE

“Despite the upheaval and disruption to trade caused by the lockdown restrictions, from which we must now move on, the French jewelry sector, confident that their expertise and creativity put them on a strong footing, are reaching out to the rest of the world and embracing new partnerships. Précieuses Confluences provides the perfect opportunity to inject fresh momentum into the industry.”

Didier RouxPRESIDENT OF FRANCÉCLAT

“Every year, Précieuses Confluences enables jewelry brands, large and small, to meet their future partners: manufacturing workshops, designers, craftsmen... the French ecosystem is rich and dynamic!
While the sector has weathered the health crisis well (French production in 2021 has exceeded its 2019 level and has more than doubled since 2016), it is preparing to face new challenges in the uncertain international context we are experiencing.
At the heart of our preoccupations, sustainable development and corporate social and environmental responsibility will be the subjects that drive us for this new edition of Précieuses Confluences.
The CSR Club, launched by Francéclat in June 2022, will enable us to pursue our discussions throughout the year on a wide range of fascinating and highly topical themes.”

Hervé BuffetEXECUTIVE OFFICER, FRANCÉCLAT
