THE ART OF GOLD
130 years of excellence
On Thursday, September 25th, 2025 in celebration of the 130th anniversary of ZOLOTAS House of Jewelry, President Marianne Le Clère Papalexis and Artistic Director Georges Papalexis welcomed distinguished guests and loyal friends of the House in France, to the emblematic Hôtel Marcel Dassault, in the heart of the “Golden Triangle” of Paris, for a timeless journey into the mythical universe of ZOLOTAS.
The emblematic Hôtel Marcel Dassault, flagship of the Golden Triangle, on the prestigious Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
The magical iconography of the Parthenon friezes adorned the gallery pathway, where thirty showcases unveiled over one hundred exceptional, never before published and iconic jewelry pieces, all attesting to the unparalleled creative legacy of the House.
Masterpieces of jewelry crafted in the grand tradition of “Chrysotechnie ZOLOTAS”, each one a unique creation.

During this oneiric evening, the sensual melodies of the celebrated contemporary Greek composers Hadjidakis, Theodorakis, and Xarchakos, performed by a talented quartet of musicians from renowned orchestras, specially arrived from Greece, under the direction of Neoklis Neofytidis, blended with the beauty of poems by Homer, Baudelaire, and Victor Hugo, in a moving recitation by the renowned actress Katerina Didaskalou.
The talented musicians Nikos Xydis, Neoklis Neofytidis, Vassilis Rapsaniotis, and Stefanos Chatziannagnostou traveled from Greece to accompany the evening with their melodies.
In Katerina Didaskalou’s voice, poetry shines.
In his warm address, Artistic Director Georges Papalexis, after thanking the audience for their loyalty and trust, defined in a few words the “Art of ZOLOTAS”, the “Chrysotechnie”, and passionately evoked the effervescent creativity of the House, that endlessly renews the legend of ZOLOTAS jewelry.
