VICENZA, Italy – Supporting emerging talents, encouraging creative thinking and the ability to integrate technological innovation into jewellery design: this is the mission of the new and highly anticipated 10th edition of the PROGOL3D Design Contest, promoted by Progold S.p.A.
Based in Trissino, in the province of Vicenza, Progold S.p.A. is a reference point n the development and manufacturing of alloys and master alloys for jewellery, as well as, through its Additive Manufacturing Division, the production of precious metal semi-finished components, precious metal powders for additive manufacturing, and the transfer of know-how for the integration of L-PBF technology.
With this initiative, the company reaffirms its commitment to innovation and to fostering creativity among the new generations of designers.
The PROGOL3D Design Contest is an international competition that each year brings together young talents from selected jewellery design schools worldwide.
Created to promote creativity, innovation and experimentation in contemporary jewellery, the contest offers students a concrete opportunity to engage with advanced manufacturing technologies, gain visibility for their projects, and connect with leading luxury brands.
The official partner of the 2026 edition is Pomellato, one of the most contemporary and distinctive jewellery Maisons on the international scene, long committed to supporting creativity and the training of future generations.
The theme of this year’s edition, “Free Volume – Pomellato Earrings in the Additive Era,” invites young designers to explore new forms, volumes and expressive possibilities of the earring, reinterpreting Pomellato’s distinctive design language through the potential of additive manufacturing technologies and the application of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles, using 18K rose gold, platinum and titanium.
