JOB PURPOSE

L’ECOLE – School of Jewelry Arts, created in 2012 by Van Cleef & Arpels is coming to Dubai. L’ECOLE’s aim is to spread the culture of jewelry arts to all with courses, exhibitions, kids workshop, talks, conferences and books.

All its activities are organized around three major fields: the history of jewelry, the world of gemstones and the know-how of jewelry making techniques. The classes are practice-based. In know-how the students experiment specific gestures, skills and tools. In art history they have the privilege of admiring antique jewelry from L’ECOLE collections. And in gemology they observe, manipulate and learn to identify the stones using gemologist tools.
