"With a focus on the geological origins of emeralds, visitors will embark on a journey tracing the transformation of these stones from raw minerals to exquisite jewelry pieces, and understand the inclusions as the characteristics of gemstones,'' she says. "Through scientific, craftwork, cultural, and artistic lenses, the exhibit explores the history and culture of emeralds across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East."

With public admission free, the exhibition is also part of the 18th edition of the Croisements Festival, celebrating  exchanges between Chinese and French art and culture institutes, and inviting the public to enjoy the jewelry arts on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
