Yves Gastou's Rings
Till the 30th November at L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, the breathtaking collection of men’s rings belonging to Yves Gastou
Men have always worn rings to express a message or preserve a secret. A special jewelry item that, over the centuries, has played various roles, going from being a symbol of power and privilege or an expression of pure vanity. The special exhibition ‘Men’s Rings Collection Yves ‘Gastou’, hosted at Van Cleef & Arpels’ Ecole des Arts Joailliers in Paris (5th October to 30th November 2018) tells the story. The most emblematic items in the huge personal collection of artist Yves Gastou, also known in France as a pioneer of antiques, are on display in the exhibition with seven themes chosen to illustrate their diversity: neo-classic, knightly, Gothic, religious, vain, ethnic, curiosity.
