Supported by Assogemme and CNA, Milano Jewelry Week will attract a vast international audience of jewelry enthusiasts and industry experts to the city, eager to discover the latest innovations in both Italian and international jewelry design.
The event, which aims to highlight and present the various facets of the jewelry sector, is built on partnerships with prestigious organizations. These collaborations will create strong synergies and professional opportunities for the over 500 participants from more than 60 countries, further confirming Milan as the ideal stage for international excellence to share their stories of tradition and innovation. Key partnerships with AOL (Associazione Orafa Lombarda), ACJ (Association for Contemporary Jewellery), HRD Antwerp, A.N.T.I.C.O (Associazione Nazionale Tutela il Comparto Oro), Assamblage, and Scuola Orafa Galdus have been reconfirmed, alongside two new prominent international partners: Piazza Italia and INHORGENTA.
MJW Talks
Through its collaboration with Piazza Italia, Milano Jewelry Week will offer artists and brands the opportunity to reach a broader international audience. Piazza Italia will present a special prize to a selected artist or brand, helping them expand their audience and enhance global brand awareness. This year also introduces a special prize from INHORGENTA, awarded to participants in the Talent Show, an exhibition hosted at the Scuola Galdus. The exhibition, organized in collaboration with Rossana Ricolfi, Coordinator, and Technical Lecturer at Scuola Orafa Galdus, and Andreia Gabriela Popescu, Senior Lecturer at Assamblage School and award-winning contemporary jewelry artist, will showcase the works of emerging talents from international schools and academies. A panel of esteemed international academic figures will evaluate the showcased jewelry, awarding the most deserving students with the Best Talent Award during the MJW Awarding Night. In addition, the Best Talent by INHORGENTA prize will allow the winner to exhibit their work at INHORGENTA MUNICH from February 21-24, 2025, in a new section dedicated specifically to young talents. In addition to the Talent Show, two other group exhibitions will take place from October 17-20: The Jewelry HUB, held for the third consecutive year at the stunning La Pelota location, and Artistar Jewels, a contemporary jewelry project celebrating its 10th anniversary.
