The 2025 edition of "de Mains en mains" will take place for the first time, from February 12th to 16th, 2025, at la Comédie de Clermont-Ferrand scène nationale.

Participants will be able to attend a Parcours Métiers (Professional pathways) with professional jewelry experts, as well as classes, conferences and workshops offered by L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts. Also, patrimonial and contemporary creations will be showcased to illustrate the inventiveness and ingenuity of Van Cleef & Arpels since its foundation. This initiative reflects the Maison's commitment to new generations and those seeking professional retraining, with the aim of bringing the jewelry professions to as many people as possible.

The Parcours Métiers (Professional Pathways) is a key part of the program, held annually during the editions of "de Mains en mains". The craftsmen share their training, their day-to-day experience and their passion with groups of students. They get the opportunity to try their hands at several specialized gestures such as setting, polishing or jewelry work.

The Parcours Métiers is also open to the general public, upon reservation, on the weekends. All can attend to craftsmen’s interactive demonstrations of savoir-faire. An orientation area, hosted by jewelry schools and the Human Resources team from Van Cleef & Arpels, presents training courses and career opportunities available in the field.
