Virtual creations at the Digital Jewelry Week

Rome, 4 October 2024

For the first time, Accademia Italiana is taking part in Digital Jewelry Week, the fully digital event that allows designers from all over the world to exhibit their works, creating an extremely wide virtual network.

The project, in its second edition, has the collaboration of entities such as GemGenève, EY, DWS, Cozzari Gioielleria and Art Events and the support of leading magazines in the industry such as Marie Claire, La Repubblica, VO+. It is a virtual exhibition space where selected designers can see their jewelry displayed through 3D renderings, images and videos.

Participants, connected via pc, phone or augmented reality viewer will be able to visit the exhibition space and observe the jewelry in 360 degrees, having a perfect perception of the size and proportions of the jewelry.

Five students from Accademia Italiana were selected for the digital exhibition presenting jewelry that speaks of growth and tells the story of personal evolution through transformable jewelry, or through the different life stages of a flower such as the dandelion. But also nature and adaptability in creations made to follow the lines of the wearer's body.

Numerous prizes will be up for grabs for the students, including mentorship from industry experts, the chance to have an exhibition space at GemGenève, a very important industry fair held in Geneva, as well as funding for the production of the jewelry presented at the competition.

Good luck to the students Camilla Cruciani, Francesca Pallaoro, Sofia Bressanin, Lin Wang and Federica Marchitelli!
