While Germany's vice chancellor claims the "fat years are over," Munich's jewellery scene wonders if this year's slowdown should be attributed to temporary consumer fears or reflects an imminent market problem that needs to be addressed. Loukia Richards, an artist, curator, and lecturer has co-curated five group shows during Schmuckwoche München (2015–2019). The last one, The Sacred & The Profane, was funded by the city of Munich. She reports on the 2019 Jewellery Week of Munich and offers potential improvements.
