There are seven winners this year: Marie Masson from France, Zihan Yang and Dongyi Wu from China, Chia-Hsien Lin from Taiwan, Elwy Schutten from the Netherlands, Rachael Colley from the United Kingdom, and Jess Tolbert from the United States. For this competition, each of them submitted to the jury their own personal vision of what research jewellery ornament can be today: an authentic investigation instrument, rooted as it is in the context of the decorative field, but from which it escapes, freely, to collide with other fields of interest, in a hybrid and transdisciplinary perspective.

The Preziosa exhibitions catalogues comprise an irreplaceable cultural reference, for the richness of their contents and their original point of view. Since 2015 the event has changed the formula, becoming an event lasting a few days (the Florence Jewellery Week), over which a series of events scattered around the city is organized by different curators: exhibitions, openings, conventions, lectures, workshops, and meetings with artists and jewellers, so as to offer those involved numerous opportunities for interaction and information.

Selected artists have the opportunity to compete for the two special prizes: the LAO prize provides a three-month stay as an Artist in Residence in Florence, while the Inhorgenta fair award one of the winners with a free exhibition space for the following year edition of the fair.

The 2020 edition of FJW was canceled like many cultural events in the world, for the reasons we know. We wanted to keep the Preziosa Young exhibition, which is now presented with the complete catalogue of the works, in Florence and in other galleries in Europe. This edition was marred by the C-19 pandemic, and the whole organization had to undergo very complicated changes and postponements. Among other things, it was not possible to assign the LAO special prize, while the Inhorgenta special prize went to the artist Zihan Yang, who will have an exhibition space in the 2021 edition of the fair.

About Preziosa
Preziosa is a cultural project imagined, managed, and coordinated by Giò Carbone, founder and senior teacher at Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School in Florence.
