Preziosa Young is a biennial competition launched in 2008, dedicated to worldwide emerging artists, goldsmiths and designers.
The aim is to contribute to the circulation of what is new in research jewellery and showcase what the new generations of goldsmiths/designers/artists are 'brewing'.
The project was envisioned by LAO - Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School, which manages all organizational aspects and related costs. For each edition, an international jury composed of curators, artists, and critics select a small number of young artists from all those who have submitted their candidature.
Selected artists will be exhibited in specially designed exhibition spaces at Preziosa Exhibition, Florence Jewellery Week.
A high-quality catalogue will be published, to introduce the selected artists with a short biography, full-colour images, and a description of their work.
The selection will be based on:
The contest provides a high level of quality, both conceptual and technical.
