Artistar Jewels, the international event dedicated to body ornaments now in its sixth edition, will be held for the first time at Palazzo Bovara in Corso di Porta Venezia in Milan, from February 19th to 24th 2019.
The entire building will be dedicated exclusively to the exhibition, with over 700 square meters of exhibition space. A not-to-be-missed opportunity to admire the beauty of contemporary jewellery declined in 500 sculptural ornaments, ironic, sometimes on the verge of wearability, inserted in an experiential path divided into themes: avant-garde, innovation, precious and recycling. The creations on show are of the highest artistic and technical level, most of which created for the project and never exhibited before.
The exhibition, under the patronage of the City of Milan which has supported the event for three years, is open with free admission during the Fashion Week and from this edition the event will also be supported by CNA Federmoda, which constitutes a national and unitary system of general representation of the Italian fashion supply chain.

The 2019 edition marks a record, because for the first time agreements with galleries outside of Europe have been made, with Bini Gallery in Australia, Ame Gallery in Hong Kong and Alice Floriano in Brazil. All the 14 galleries involved in the project represent a reference point in the contemporary jewellery field and are able to offer the public an eclectic mix of collections made with ancient and modern techniques. Some directors will be in Italy to attend the event and personally choose the works among all those on display, which will enrich the proposal of their collections.

During the exhibition it will be possible to admire the creations of three protagonists of the art and contemporary jewellery worlds, whose works are internationally recognized: Turi Simeti, one of the most appreciated and quoted contemporary Italian artists and known for his 1960s outbursts; the German Ute Decker, sculpture jewellery author who works in London and counts among her clients Zaha Hadid; she uses for her creations 100% recycled gold and silver, with Fairtrade certification and she is one of the first supporters of ethical jewellery. Finally, geometric jewels will be present from the impressive structures of the French artist and designer Christophe Burger.
Among the more than 400 applications received from all over the world, the scientific committee of Artistar Jewels selected 140 artists.
