After unlocking the elusive world of jewelry in Paris, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, Van Cleef & Arpels’ L’École is coming to Dubai to give a full immersion experience with classes and discussions and provide a new avenue for aspiring designers in the Arab world.

The campus will be the first institution to offer comprehensive education in fine jewelry and is set to open its doors in Dubai Design District this autumn. Its purpose is to open up the world of high jewelry to people who are not professionals in the jewelry industry but are interested in how it works.

Open to all, from collectors to beginners, the school will offer students a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts and gain insights into the inner workings of this exclusive world. 

“Dubai’s magnet for iconic creative brands and brilliant talent is growing stronger,” said Khadija Al Bastaki, Senior Vice President of d3. 

“The arrival of institutes like L’École takes our efforts a step further, providing creative minds the opportunity to sharpen their skills and craft original, innovative designs.”
