Intro
First of all, I think about the honour I have been given this time and the responsibility that comes with it. Every year, when I look at the main curated exhibition of contemporary jewellery at the Handwerkermesse, I not only curiously follow the stories told by the artists' works, but I also try to see with respect and admiration the curator's idea that connects the selected artists' works. It always seems as if there is something more behind the works. That is always the case with a good exhibition.

Dr. Jurgita Ludavičienė juried 62 entries from 29 countries this year. 789 artists from 51 countries applied to take part in the exhibition.
