Beyond the Exhibition
Where the Conversations Begin
The formal programme is only part of Jewels Basel. The events that surround it — the aperitifs hosted by our partners, the private lunches, the closing cocktail — are where the most significant connections are made. This is the social fabric of the salon.
Day 1 · 19:00
Private Vernissage
18 June 2026 · Evening
The opening evening of Jewels Basel is private, unhurried, and charged with the energy of a room seeing each other and the work for the first time. Champagne is poured. Introductions are made. The salon begins not with a speech but with a conversation. Every person present has been personally invited by Dr. Nadine Fink.
By invitation only · Limited to inner circle guest list
Day 2 · 17:00
Acqua di Parma
Afternoon Aperitif
Afternoon Aperitif
19 June 2026 · Afternoon
Our official fragrance partner hosts the afternoon aperitif on Day 2 — the moment the salon shifts from viewing to conversation. Acqua di Parma brings its signature sensibility to the setting: considered, unhurried, and beautifully scented. The room is at its most convivial. The day's most significant conversations begin here.
About the Partnership
Partner Event · By Invitation
Partner Lunches
18 — 19 June 2026 · Midday
Selected partners host private lunches for their clients and guests during the two days of the salon. These are not programme events — they are social moments that happen in and around the salon, extending the experience of Jewels Basel into the dining rooms and terraces of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl — No. 1 restaurant in the world by La Liste 2025 — is steps away.

The Closing Cocktail
19 June 2026 · Evening
The final two hours of Jewels Basel 2026. The room at its warmest — collectors who have spent two days in extraordinary company, conversations that will continue long after tonight. The closing cocktail is the last memory every guest takes with them. It is the moment the 8th edition becomes a reference point in the Basel calendar. Hosted by our closing partner.
