To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the event, the contest – through Beppe Angiolini, honorary president of the National Chamber of Fashion Buyers and art director of Oroarezzo and Gold/Italy – chose the ring as the theme of this year’s edition: the most loved jewel, which is probably the oldest and most solemn, full of symbolic meanings and style. Timeless jewel and style icon, which is constantly reinvented to express the personality of the wearer.

In competition, therefore, new jewels that go beyond fashion, that alternate the richness of the details and the minimalist simplicity of the forms, with the strength of the symbolic contents that have always been attributed to the ring.

For every new year’s edition of the contest, the exhibitors are asked to create a piece of jewelry that expresses the utmost creativity in line with the company’s style, a creation inspired by traditional forms reinterpreted in unconventional ways, while allowing maximum freedom in the choice of materials and craftsmanship.

As per tradition, these creations will be judged by a selected jury, made up of operators and experts coming from the jewelry, fashion, press and communication industries, all chaired by Beppe Angiolini.

The selected pieces will be displayed, during the entire period of the fair, through a dedicated installation which has been specifically designed and made for the occasion, and that will be placed in the central corridor of the fair, allowing all visitors to admire them.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
