GENEROUSLY DONATED BY VALDIEU FINE ARTS
As the grandson of a jeweller, with a taste for design, beauty and value that gemstones can convey, it was quite natural for Eric Valdieu to choose to study at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in Los Angeles, where he arrived in 1980.
After he graduated from GIA, he began his professional career at Bulgari where he stayed for two years. He then joined Christie’s Geneva as a jewellery specialist, became director of the jewellery department in 1987 and Vice-President of Christie’s Switzerland in 2003.
In 2010, with 35 years' international experience in the field of gemstones and jewellery, Eric Valdieu established his own business, Valdieu Fine Arts SA, in Geneva. Specialising in diamond and gemstone dealing, he also re-designs and remodels pieces in association with a highly regarded workshop established for more than 20 years and collaborating with the most renowned jewellery houses.
Alongside his work as a dealer, Eric Valdieu has run courses at the University of Geneva for several years for their MA programme in Luxury Marketing, and, between 2012 and 2017, was the co-manager of an investment fund based in Luxembourg specialising in gemstones and jewellery.
