This invaluable cultural heritage is closely and directly connected to the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice.

The Master's in Contemporary Jewelry Design is taught by leading Italian experts in the field, providing the necessary theoretical, design, and practical training to acquire broad skills spanning the entire supply chain: from historical and theoretical knowledge of manufacturing, to techniques, materials, design, and laboratory production. They also cover the identification of market strategies and trends, and the planning of the visual communication of the finished product.

The Master's program opens in November 2025 and will end in June 2026, when internships in companies will begin.
