AUCTION ARTCURIAL - Luxury, Sport & Collectibles December 10th at the Paris Palais of congress

They are vintage or more recent but they marked their time to a point that sometimes they have become cult objects. From the Renault 8 Gordini to the Renault 5 Alpine Turbo, the Fiat 500 to the Citroen DS 19 cabriolet, about fifty so-called collection vehicles are offered for sale on Monday at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, where they are exposed throughout the weekend.

A notable item in the "over the top" category, a Roll's Royce Silver Dawn 1954 estimated between 36000 and 40000€ with its 6-cylinder engine and, icing on the cake, the original kettle, mounted on a marqueted shelf equipped with his magnetic cup !

Kara, Days of the creative jewellers at the Bourse de Commerce until November 26th, 2007

Trailblazing French and international jewellers will be meeting the public at the 6th edition of Kara, the international jewellery fair of designers. Kara has been a springboard for new ideas, shapes and creative adventures since its inception. It has highlighted new directions, figurative themes, colours and stones in fashion, prompted enthusiasm for precious materials such as rose gold, opal, Tahitian pearls, bangles and jewellery for men…elements featured at the exhibition that influence the following seasons.

Its overriding goal is to promote budding talent and to put bold designers in touch with the people who can discern that authentic and creative touch, and who see what they wear as a statement about what makes them unique.

The next edition of Kara will take place from 23 to 26 November 2007 at the Bourse de Commerce – an amazing venue in more ways than one – and provide a unique opportunity to talk to designers spanning a plethora of creative styles to find out more about their handpicked pieces.
Kara, the international jewellery fair of designers has built a bridge between freshly unleashed, exquisitely unconventional talent and a discerning public – and provided a garden for this renewal to blossom.
