Every March, the city of Maastricht transforms into the epicenter of global art and design with the arrival of TEFAF, one of the world’s most prestigious art fairs. While masterpieces from history’s greatest painters steal many headlines, a smaller, more intimate section of the fair reveals a breathtaking world of high and contemporary jewelry. In this long-form story, I take you behind the scenes to meet the exceptional artists, discover exquisite pieces, and share personal moments that made this year’s TEFAF jewelry selection truly unforgettable.
