The event aims to enhance the contemporary jewel, artist’s jewel and the historical goldsmiths to offer the public a high cultural value that exalts the great cultural heritage of the city, connecting the most interesting realities in the field.

Three Roman days of culture and lively beauty through exhibitions, presentations, talks, awards, to live and to revive the Capital thanks to a brand new project for the city where inclusion, connection and joy are keywords. Especially in this complex historical period, the city must reclaim the spaces dedicated to Arts, to Design and to craftsmanship and must return to attract not only for its magnificent historical vestige but also for the immense heritage in the field of artistic jewel. Giving life to such an important event for the city of Rome is a great challenge and a great responsibility , which takes on new values and a renewed creative impetus today.

The RJW event is created by Architect Monica Cecchini, director and project curator. The selection of the realities involved is due to the curatorship of goldsmith artist Emanuele Leonardi and Bianca Cappello jewelry historian and critic. Journalist Jonathan Giustini will moderate one of the scheduled events. Marketing and press communication project is managed by the consultant Eugenia Gadaleta.

The event will be held at the same time of the Premio Incinque Jewels, second edition, organized by Incinque Open Art Monti Association. The contest is willing to promote the culture of the Contemporary Jewel in Rome area and, for the first time, it will take place in the historical location Auditorium di Mecenate dated back 30 b.C.

“It is important to create a cooperation system to give voice and raise awareness of the excellence in this field at international level – Monica Cecchini affirms– we want to create a reference event to enhance the city of Rome and its vast cultural, intangible and artistic heritage that meets the need of a new type of tourism completely different from the hasty and consumerist one.”.

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.”
