This month, the Gulf Coast becomes the setting for a new kind of cultural gathering as L’Amusette, a salon-style showcase presented by Concept Privé, taking place February 22–25, 2026, at the Naples Sailing & Yacht Club.
Designed as an intimate encounter with high jewelry, contemporary art, and couture, L’Amusette introduces Naples to a refined, relationship-driven format that feels closer to a European salon than a traditional exhibition. Central to the experience, Beverly Hills high jeweler Martin Katz, presenting one-of-a-kind creations alongside a curated group of international designers and artists.
A Salon for Independent Luxury
Conceived as the first chapter in a long-term platform dedicated to independent luxury and cultural beauty, L’Amusette reflects the vision of Concept Privé founder Sona Chakarian, whose 25-year career spans the global fashion and luxury industries. Her approach is intentional and deeply personal—bringing together emerging and established voices from Europe and the United States in a setting that encourages conversation, discovery, and meaningful connection.
Among the participating creatives:
- Martin Katz, Beverly Hills–Based high jeweler
- Hervé Pierre, French-American couturier, stylist to the First Lady of the United States
- Alix Dumas and Savarsh Hakobian each bringing a distinct voice to contemporary high jewelry
- Lilit Sarkissian, whose work bridges performance and visual art
Martin Katz in Naples
For Martin Katz, whose one-of-a-kind jewels have long defined modern American glamour, L’Amusette offers a more intimate context for high jewelry. Known for his refined design sensibility and discerning eye for exceptional stones, his work reflects the enduring elegance of vintage jewelry, with a particular affinity for the Art Deco period. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, created as a one-of-a-kind or in limited editions, and individually signed and numbered
In Naples, collectors will encounter rare diamonds, colored gemstones, and handcrafted designs in a setting that encourages conversation with the maker—a departure from the fast pace of red carpet and global showcases.
Program Highlights
While the Pavilion remains open February 22–25 for private viewings and appointments, two signature moments anchor the experience:

From February 24–25, the Pavilion remains open for private appointments, and a salon-style experience designed for thoughtful acquisition and cultural exchange.
A New Cultural Chapter for Naples
With its refined scale and international perspective, L’Amusette introduces a new chapter to Naples’ cultural landscape—where high jewelry, art, and style meet in an atmosphere of intimacy, dialogue, and discovery.
In a season often defined by grand galas and spectacle, L’Amusette offers something quieter and perhaps more enduring: a space where craftsmanship is celebrated, stories are shared, and beauty is experienced up close.
