MILAN, Italy – An exhibition of talismans and amulets in contemporary fashion jewellery, opened at the HOMI Fashion&Jewels trade show on September 18, reflecting heightened tastes for sentimental and meaningful jewellery during the pandemic.
HOMI Fashion&Jewels, which runs until September 20 at the Milan fair, is a leading European showcase for the latest fashion jewellery designs.
Author and professor Alba Cappellieri said the exhibition covers three themes – rites, materials and symbols – and is perfectly timed as in-person trade shows kick off again, with consumer tastes clearly pointing to talismans and amulets due to a greater desire for meaningful gifts owing to the pandemic.
The exhibition features more than 200 jewels, using a variety of materials including red Mediterranean coral and gemstones, inspired by historic motifs, flora and fauna, and other themes.
