On December 11, 2025, in the refined setting of the Warwick Geneva Hotel, the Igor Carl Fabergé Foundation celebrated the official presentation of its 2025 International Award to Lausanne-based artist Édouard Jud.
Following the award announcement on December 3, this Geneva event marked the solemn and convivial moment of public recognition for an extraordinary career.
Recognition in an Exceptional Setting
Gathered in the heart of Geneva, collectors, representatives from the world of jewelry, friends, partners, and admirers of the artist shared a moment filled with emotion and admiration.
In an atmosphere that was both warm and distinguished, guests had the opportunity to salute the excellence of a craftsman whose work perpetuates the spirit of Carl Fabergé.
A Tribute to a Life Dedicated to Excellence
At 92 years old, the artist received this distinction with infectious simplicity and joy. His dedication to the workshop, to transmission, and to the precise gesture remains intact.
A Moment of Sharing and Transmission
Beyond the ceremony, the cocktail reception facilitated privileged exchanges between guests and the artist. Discussions about ancient techniques, admiration for the pieces presented, shared memories: the evening embodied the very spirit of the Foundation: to preserve, recognize, and transmit exceptional savoir-faire.
This Geneva gathering served as a reminder that the art of high jewelry is not merely heritage, but a living legacy, carried by creators whose passion defies time.
By honoring Édouard Jud, the Igor Carl Fabergé Foundation celebrates far more than a career: it consecrates a rare fidelity to excellence, to the patience of the craft, and to the nobility of materials.
