Description

In this episode of AB Majlis, Reporter Nicole Abigael sits down with Victor Gastou who takes us on a journey through his late father Yves Gastou’s extraordinary collection of over 700 rings—each piece a testament to history, craftsmanship, and passion.

From 17th-century Venetian poison rings to Vatican treasures, we uncover the stories behind these hidden gems and the art of collecting overlooked masterpieces. Join us as we explore the legacy of a collector whose love for discovery turned jewelry into a chronicle of time.

Until April 26th, the collection will be exhibited at the L’ÉCOLE Middle East School of Jewelry Arts in Dubai.
