PREZIOSA is the most important Italian exhibition dedicated to contemporary jewellery', a project launched in 2005 by Giò Carbone for Le Arti Orafe jewellery School. PREZIOSA can be considered as an explorative path always in motion. As part of the PREZIOSA project, since 2008, LAO has organised the collateral exhibition "PREZIOSA YOUNG", dedicated to emerging artists selected through an international competition.

An international jury composed of curators, artists and critics selects a small number of young artists from all those who have submitted their applications.

PREZIOSA History /explan. Jul 2021
The PREZIOSA project
PREZIOSA is a cultural project, a biennial exhibition/meeting dedicated to the world of jewellery and to contemporary jewellery research. The project, imagined, managed and coordinated by Giò Carbone and supported by LAO - Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School in Florence, started in 2005, and has quickly become one of the worldwide most important events devoted to contemporary jewellery, exported with great success abroad. PREZIOSA can be considered as an explorative path always in motion, the most important Italian exhibition dedicated to contemporary jewellery.
PREZIOSA ISSUES
From 2005 until 2013 the event was conceived as a collective exhibition: every year the artistic
approach to the complex subject of contemporary jewellery research was explored through a specific
concept and with the selection of artists from the international scene. Each edition was presented in
important venues and some exhibitions were exported abroad. Prestigious catalogues were published
every year for the main exhibitions.
Since 2015, the formula has been radically changed in favour of a synergistic event, where artists and
visitors can meet, and where the focus continues to be on contemporary research, but at the same time
many other aspects of the world of jewellery are explored.
The aim of Florence Jewellery Week is to contribute to reactivating the dialogue
between artistic research, traditional craftsmanship and design.
This objective is pursued through the organisation of a week of small solo or collective exhibitions by
artists and craftsmen, days of conferences on various themes related to jewellery, with the activation of
workshops, and with the invitation and extended hospitality to numerous artists, curators, critics,
craftsmen from different countries, in order to create opportunities for debate and mutual understanding.
