The second edition of MILANO JEWELRY WEEK, a week dedicated to jewellery, was held in Milan from 20 to 23 October last with the patronage of the City of Milan, Club degli Orafi and C.N.A. Federmoda. Unique in Italy, the event confirmed the city of Milan not only as fashion and design capital, but also as a world
jewellery centre. The itinerary of the event followed different themed routes in prestigious locations situated in the best-known streets of the city, from Porta Venezia to Brera, from the Duomo to 5 Vie, passing by Via Montenapoleone and all the Fashion Quadrilateral. Through exhibitions, talks and special initiatives, the visitors, both professional and simply curious people, were able to immerse themselves in a new and fascinating world, presented in qualified settings, such as prestigious palaces, high jewellery ateliers, schools and workshops of jewellery art, fashion boutiques and design showrooms. The founder of Prodes Italia, creator of Milano Jewelry Week, Enzo Carbone, declared: “I am very happy to say that the commitment we have made in particularly difficult years has led us to organise a jewellery event of such a high level that it attracts people to Milan from all over the world and offers the city an opportunity for visibility which makes us very proud”.
