• TPOW scholarships: Cultivating future artisans

In collaboration with The Place of Wonder (TPOW) Foundation, we have introduced three scholarships since 2022. These scholarships provide tuition-free education for a one-to-three-year study program at LAO, enabling promising individuals to hone their skills and embark on successful careers in the jewelry industry. TPOW’s mission aligns perfectly with our own: to promote the growth of manufacturing arts culture and nurture the next generation of industry professionals. By supporting and guiding these talented individuals, we aim to preserve Florence’s rich heritage of craftsmanship and its unique position as the capital of beauty and savoir-faire.
