The Lake Como EDITION and Sotheby’s have announced a new collaboration that will bring a dedicated high jewelry event to Lake Como. The Lake Como Jewellery Weekend will take place on August 1 and 2, 2026, in the hotel’s spaces, with the heart of the program hosted in the Penthouse Cadenabbia. Harper’s Bazaar Italia participates as a media partner, closely following the story of an event designed for experienced collectors and for those approaching the world of international-level jewelry for the first time.
The program includes two days of conversations, exhibitions, private consultations, and meetings with industry specialists. Leading the experience is Frank Everett, Vice Chairman of Jewellery at Sotheby’s, who has long worked on the intersection of craftsmanship, collecting, and new forms of contemporary luxury expression. The initiative resumes and expands a collaboration already started between the two entities last year during New York Luxury Week, when Sotheby’s and EDITION Hotels proposed a special lot combining a jewel by designer Sarah Narici with an exclusive stay at Cadenabbia.

Everett described the evolution of the project:

“We are delighted to collaborate with The Lake Como EDITION for this special jewelry weekend, continuing the success of our partnership last year during New York Luxury Week. This new and exciting chapter of our relationship represents a fantastic opportunity to bring Sotheby’s expertise to an international audience through free jewelry appraisals, engaging masterclasses, and stimulating conversations on collecting and the jewelry market. Together, we are creating an experience that celebrates the beauty of exceptional jewels, helping collectors, both expert and novice, to deepen their understanding and appreciation of high-quality jewelry.”

Anton Moore, General Manager of The Lake Como EDITION, also commented on the agreement, highlighting the connection between the territory and the initiative:

“Continuing our collaboration with Sotheby’s is a natural evolution for The Lake Como EDITION. Within this iconic destination, we have created special moments in every corner of the hotel—from the Penthouse Cadenabbia and Renzo to the Lobby Bar—that celebrate the timeless charm of the lake and its energy. Immersed in the August atmosphere on the lake, these spaces will come to life for a weekend of exceptional jewelry. We are excited to welcome our guests to experience this unique celebration with us.”

Among the expected guests are Sarah Narici, founder of the jewelry brand DYNE; American fashion critic journalist Lynn Yaeger; and Sara Miconi, Head of Department Jewellery Italy at Sotheby’s. The media partnership with Harper’s Bazaar Italia will also involve Massimo Russo, Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, in the context of the scheduled talks.
Participants can take part in technical masterclasses, panel discussions, and free jewelry appraisal sessions—a service that allows them to obtain a professional opinion on family heirlooms or recent purchases.
