The evolution of the body-jewellery relationship in the field of artistic research and innovation, in contrast to the usual perception of jewellery as decoration or fashion accessory.
In research jewellery, the human body acquires a fundamental role as a source of inspiration and a necessary completion of the creative process.

Le Arti Orafe, jewellery school in Florence organize the second edition of Preziosa contemporary jewellery exhibition.

With a wealth of content and a strong group of partners, Preziosa 2006 is characterized by its focus on the theme of the body (No-Body Decoration), and provides for different exhibition contexts which complement each other: on the one hand, there is an exhibition of the creations of a group of artistic jewellers who are among the foremost representatives of the contemporary international scene, and on the other a wonderful exhibition of jewellery from 19th-century Indian tradition, originating from the Heritage collection of Ganjam, the famous jewellery maison - an opportunity for intercultural and historical comparison.

Artists:
Friedrich Becker, Bruno Martinazzi, Gerd Rothmann, Gijs Bakker, Christoph Zellweger, Frédéric Braham, Ruudt Peters, Naomi Filmer, David Watkins, Marjorie Schick, Naom Ben–Jacov.

Exhibition curated by Maria Cristina Bergesio.
