This book portrays the work of 220 jewelry artists. The goal of this volume is not simply to collect and present new creations; it is a journey inside the creative minds that have given life to exclusive wearable sculptures. Stories, sensations, places and emotions are enclosed within nearly 600 pieces of jewelry that can be contemplated in the prestigious setting of Palazzo Bovara in Milan during the Milano Jewelry Week. All of the jewelry you will see will be able to unleash the sources of inspiration and brilliance of the artists and take readers on a journey to discover the dedication and craftsmanship of the goldsmith’s art. You will see glimpses of nature, art and architecture, as well as glances of ancient history. The perfection and harmony of nature is often represented through the silhouettes of animals and the organic and elegant shapes of flower petals and leaves, while Greek gods, Etruscan culture, European painters, and Cubism are some of the contaminations that come from the art world.
