Time for creativity, time for business, for a more dynamic industry
This year will see the seventh “Précieuses Confluences” take place on Monday, October 28 and Tuesday, October 29, 2019, at the headquarters of the Union Française de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfèvrerie, des Pierres et des Perles (UFBJOP) in Paris.
A key event for France’s jewellery industry, Précieuses Confluences is aimed at buyers and brand representatives from France and beyond, as well as those working in all areas of France’s jewellery sector.
