The sixth edition of The Unique Show, held from June 19 to 21 in the stunning setting of Monte-Carlo, offered an intense, multisensory, and deeply human experience. This event, organized as part of Luxury Monte-Carlo | The Unique Show, was structured in three acts, each embodying a strong commitment: to pay tribute to beauty in all its forms, celebrate the excellence of craftsmanship, and encourage creativity in all its facets.
An International Showcase of Exceptional Talent
This edition brought together 52 exhibitors from around the world — true artisans and creators whose talents were celebrated and immortalized in The Unique Book: A High Jewelry Collection Book. This reference book, designed to showcase the quality and originality of the pieces presented, testifies to the richness and excellence that define the event.
Since the creation of The Unique Show in 2023, the vision has always been clear: to offer a unique stage where excellence, talent, and culture meet and shine. This sixth edition perfectly embodied that ambition.
A Journey in Three Acts, from Emotion to Elegance
The first act took the form of a charity gala evening — a poignant and heartfelt moment of the event. In collaboration with the association Les Enfants de Frankie, the edition supported vulnerable children, reminding everyone that beauty only finds its true meaning when shared. The evening was elevated by the moving harmonies of the ISM Voices choir and the powerful operatic performance by Délia Grâce Noble, creating an atmosphere filled with unforgettable grace and emotion.
The second act looked toward the future with the Unique Awards ceremony, honoring winners selected by a prestigious international jury. Simultaneously, thanks to a collaboration with IED Rome, the Fondazione The Place of Wonders, and master goldsmith Giò Carbone from LAO, the space was transformed into a poetic and living workshop, where the creative gesture was revealed in all its evolving authenticity.
Finally, the third act was marked by the Marina Rinaldi fashion show, a true ode to inclusive elegance, where fashion and high jewelry engaged in a perfectly harmonious dialogue, like a flawlessly tuned melody.
Within the prestigious framework of Luxury Monte-Carlo | The Unique Show, the highly anticipated Unique Awards ceremony took place, celebrating talent, innovation, and uncompromising beauty. Hosted by the renowned socialite Victoria Silvstedt, the ceremony honored not only aesthetic value but also the ethics and creativity of exhibitors across various categories.
