Artistar Jewels is the reference event for the contemporary jewelry world: synonymous with quality and uniqueness, each year it shows the public a selection of over 500 jewelry of author. The event has reached its seventh edition and is proposed as the largest and most cosmopolitan collective of Milano Jewelry Week, a new week of the Milanese schedule entirely dedicated to the world of jewelry. Palazzo Bovara in Corso di Porta Venezia in Milan will be the setting for the body ornament on display for experts and enthusiasts of the sector from 24 to 27 October 2019. The exhibition is open with free admission and is supported by the patronage of the Municipality of Milan and CNA Federmoda, which constitutes a national and unitary system of general representation of the Italian fashion industry.
The Founder of Artistar Jewels Enzo Carbone, CEO of Prodes Italia, that company that conceived and organizes the Milano Jewelry Week states: “Artistar Jewels is a project that has grown exponentially in recent years, gathering support from both insiders and a growing number of enthusiasts. The success of Artistar Jewels has given us the opportunity to intercept the need to give the right emphasis to contemporary jewelry, in strong expansion in recent years, creating an entire week dedicated to it: hence the idea of launching in Milan the first Jewelry Week.”
Among the over 500 applications received from all over the world, the Art Direction of Artistar Jewels has selected 150 artists from 40 different countries. Taiwan, Thailand, Lebanon, but also Armenia, Israel and Kuwait: Artistar Jewels opens the doors of Palazzo Bovara to artists from every country, counting in this seventh edition a strong North American presence. The cooperation with the Commercial Office of the American Consulate in Milan played an important part. It contributed to the promotion of the project among American designers and design schools through their offices in the United States. In particular, the U.S. New York’s Export Assistance Center contacted the Diamond District Partnership, which organized a contest to give a New York artist the chance to attend the event with the support from this New York institution. The U.S. Commercial Service is part of the US Department of Commerce and promotes exports of American goods and services by supporting American companies in finding qualified partners.
The selection criteria were the high artistic value, the technical experimentation, the design, the stylistic research, the personal interpretation of traditional techniques, the originality of the themes presented and the technological innovation. Artistar Jewels is an event that offers, at each edition, a new reading on contemporary jewelry, proposing the trends of recent years. Nature with its many facets, the exploration of the human body in an ironic and sometimes uninhibited key, the critique of consumerism and the problems brought about by global pollution are the recurring themes of the 2019 Fall edition. The techniques used range from laser cutting to lost wax, from watermark to hand finishing, through 3D printing, increasingly widespread in this sector, as well as the use of materials, from year to year more green and the result of activities of recycling and upcycling.
The splendid creations of the protagonists of Artistar Jewels 2019 Fall Edition will be shown in the eponymous volume published by Logo Fausto Lupetti, through the images of the jewels captured by the photo shoot entirely edited by the Artistar Jewels team. The book will be available in all bookstores in Italy and the main European capitals from November 2019 and will also be sent to 5,000 employees in the sector, including buyers, concept stores, journalists, fashion stylists and jewelry galleries.
