Talking about the power of jewelry is potentially inexhaustible and fascinating. It implies returning to the beginning of humanity, not only as an adornment for the body but as the ideological expression of culture, and even more importantly, POLITICS.
The call of this year has exceeded all expectations, having a high percentage of new artists who have not participated in previous editions, so this year will be one of the most innovative in terms of design and cutting edge.
JOYA 2019 will have the participation of 58 selected artists, 8 winners of prestigious international awards, 2 galleries, 3 collectives, 3 international schools and 7 national schools, that makes a total of more than 300 artists from all over the world.
