The exhibitions and all other moments of the event will place the emphasis on the interactions between tradition and artistic research, manual skills and new technologies, and between the different meanings and symbolical values that jewellery can take on in different cultural and geographical environments. The project includes exhibitions by contemporary artists from various countries, lectures and presentations, workshops led by invited artists/lecturers/curators.

Preziosa Concept

Preziosa is a cultural project imagined, managed and coordinated
by LAO - Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School in Florence.

The project started in 2005, and has quickly become one of the worldwide most important events devoted to contemporary jewellery.

Every year the artistic approach to the complex subject of jewellery is explored through a specific concept and with the selection of artists from the international scene.
