With the main objective to show the quality and diversity of contemporary jewelry, opening its doors to the general public, Tincal lab invites every year jewelers from around the world for a Challenge: the creation of up to 3 pieces with the maximum price of 100€ each, inspired by a theme. In 2021, the 7th edition of this initiative suggests a reflection on the theme “Jewelry and Nature” and brings to Porto pieces from 79 artists from nearly 30 different countries, created exclusively for this event.

The opening of this amazing collective exhibition of unique characteristics will be at Tincal lab, shop 25 of Centro Comercial Bombarda, on the date of Simultaneous Openings at Porto Art District: 6th of November and it can be visited until the end of 2021.
On the opening date, the catalog of this edition will be released and the winner of the Jury Selection Award will be announced. The public will also have the opportunity to choose their favorite artists, in person or through online voting until the end of the year. The 3 artists will have the opportunity to exhibit at Tincal lab over the following year.
This initiative aims to inspire artists and raise public awareness by allowing jewelry to leave its more conventional commercial circuit while making its artistic side more accessible - also from a monetary point of view.
In this exhibition, artists use nature as a source of inspiration, explore colors, textures, shapes, and materials, look to the world around, think about the dangers of progress, and present not only pieces of jewelry, but also reflections, stories, works of art.
Opening: 6 Nov 2021, 4 pm.
