Here’s a bit of a confession: I have a mixed relationship with the jewelry trade show circuit. Some I love, while others I simply fail to see the added value.
Well, among my favorites is the VicenzaOro show. And the highlight for me there is always the Trend-Forecasting seminar produced by The Futurist herself, Paola De Luca. I mean, talk about added value!
While I was unable to attend in person this year, I finally managed to watch this year’s event, and it hardly disappointed.
Watch this year's seminar from the January show, titled, ‘Portraits: The Anthropology of Body Adornments.’
