Group exhibitions, vernissage, presentations of exclusive collections, exhibition events, workshops, live performances, temporary shops, an awarding night and in-depth talks on the most current issues in the world of jewelry will allow visitors to discover the latest news in the industry, learn about international realities and enrich their know-how.
Exhibitions and Locations
Milano Jewelry Week has intercepted the need to give the right emphasis to the world of jewelry, which has been greatly increasing in the last few years, seeing Milan as the perfect city to welcome avant-garde and new trends while continuing to enhance the tradition. Many brands, goldsmiths, designers and jewelry manufacturers in the Lombardy capital will open their doors to the public, creating an Experential Journey in 40 locations distributed throughout the streets of the city center. Special events, themed exhibitions, preview presentations of collections, live performances, meetings with the press, cocktail parties or workshops will be organized. Visitors will be able to discover many interesting realities of the Milan area while living a unique experience.
During Milano Jewelry Week there will be celebrations of important anniversaries testifying to the strength and value of the Italian tradition in the industry. De Liguoro, the iconic Maison of Fashion Jewellery on the occasion of its first 60 years will organize a celebratory event at their showroom in Via San Martino, 17, setting up an exclusive exhibition of the jewelry that marked the most representative stages of the company’s history. Down Via Ponte Vetero, in the elegant and creative Brera district, the Demaldè family has been carrying on a business over decades that dates back as Bottega Storica to 1943; and this year will celebrates during Week 80 years in business. Fratelli Piccini‘s prestigious atelier on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence will be celebrating at La Pelota in Milan the milestone of 120 years.
Unmissable are the three collective exhibitions in which international artists, brands and students will enrich with their works of art the historic and prestigious locations of the city from Oct. 19th to 22nd.
The splendid location of Palazzo Bovara situated in Corso Venezia will host the ninth edition of Artistar Jewels where visitors will be able to admire more than 600 pieces of jewelry created by 230 international artists. A special area will be dedicated to the masterpieces of Guests: Alessio Boschi, Alex Wong and Wallis Hong. “Equilibrium of Powers” the dress installation by Alicia Stanksa will light up the entrance to the exhibition.
During the invitation-only vernissage of Artistar Jewels scheduled for Oct. 19 at 6:30 p.m., in the enchanting location of Palazzo Bovara, there will be a fashion show of dresses by designer Gianni Tolentino and Massinissa Askeur, a great international symbolist, both winners of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and a live performance by artist Rossano Ferrari who will present the pictorial work Mosaic Jem. The artwork represents the society in which we live and depicts the artist’s conceptual vision: a society that runs fast, goes through multiple emotional and factual states, breaks down, goes beyond liquidity to gassiness until it converges into atomization. The work translates thought and is born with the intent to give itself to the onlookers. Through cuts it breaks down into a mosaic, connected pieces of canvas that, although destined to inhabit different places, keep the heart of the work intact. Thus the work ideally recomposes itself by restoring, like gems, the eternity and solidity of authentic thought.
The MJW pays great attention to young talents and, in collaboration with Galdus School represented by Rossana Ricolfi Coordinator, Referent and Technical Teacher Goldsmith School Galdus, organizes the Talent Show: an event dedicated to all schools and academies exhibiting the jewelry of the students of the schools: Algures Contemporary Jewellery School (Brazil), Assamblage (Romania), Casa Workshop (Mexico), Fondazione Arte Sacra Contemporanea ETS (Italy), For. Al (Italy), Galdus (Italy), ISS Caterina da Siena (Italy), Istituto Europeo di Design IED (Italy), MAB (Italy), Minoss Jewelry (South Korea), Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana (Italy).
The Jewelry HUB is the only Milanese and Italian event that gives collectors, buyers and enthusiasts the opportunity to meet the most innovative international manufacturers and designers of High& Fine Jewelry, Fashion, Design and Vintage. It takes place inside de la Pelota, a historic venue that blends the charm of Brera-“famous artists’ quarter”-with an exclusive avant-garde feel. The Jewelry Hub is a special and exclusive event where 50 brands from all over the world present their new creations that encapsulate stories and emotions as well as communicate the uniqueness and identity of each author. The Prodes Italia team constantly carries out targeted research and important scouting work to present the most exciting works that we are hardly used to seeing in Milan.
