“Our past determines the present, and that history is key to our future. The genre of narrative jewelry is a perfect vehicle to explore topics of personal interest, whether profound or novel, creating new perspectives and approaches.
The challenge for participants is to communicate their past or current experiences, their journeys and research, and generate wearable objects, which provoke, surprise and/or entertain the viewer.”
(Dr. Jack Cunningham)
Authors will be selected by an International Jury.

„Without an audience, without the presence of spectators, these jewels would not fulfil the function for which they came into being. The viewer, then, is the ultimate artist. His sight, heart, mind – fusing with and grasping with greater or lesser understanding the intent of the creator – gives them life.” (Dali)
Our aim is to bring to life an international narrative contemporary jewellery exhibition that will present a fresh, modern approach to contemporary jewellery design and realisation.
It is important to us that the works are wearable in everyday life as well as being exciting artistic expressions.
Thus our focus is on creating a space with deep connection between the creators – the creations and the viewers.
