We were planning it for many years and finally in 2019 will see its first edition happen. My main goal has always been to create a happening for all the experts in the field, but that, at the same time, will make this fascinating world experienced even by a wider audience. The success gained over the years by Artistar Jewels has given us the opportunity to intercept the need to give the right emphasis to the world of contemporary jewelry, that is growing bigger and bigger through the years. To us Milan is just the perfect city to welcome avant-garde and new trends by continuing to enhance tradition.”
