A new and exciting online event is set to come to life, launching an unprecedented opportunity for young talents in the goldsmith and jewelry industry. Enter Digital Jewelry Week (DJW), an innovative digital showcase dedicated to talented jewelry designers under 30. With the support of Vicenzaoro, the exhibition by the International Exhibition Group (IEG), and renowned industry players like Threedium and Faith Tribe, this platform aims to highlight the ingenuity and creativity of young emerging artists. Founded by Dario Rjeili, a twenty-seven-year-old Venetian of Italo-Lebanese origin, DJW’s mission is to digitize the jewelry sector and help young individuals overcome the economic barriers that often make starting a career challenging.

The event, taking place from October 2 to 7, 2023, in an exceptional virtual environment provided by the Spatial platform, will be a space for sharing and inspiration. Thirty young goldsmiths under 30 can exhibit up to three of their most astonishing creations for free. A digital showcase that will allow them to present their artistic mastery to the world and develop significant professional contacts, opening doors to international collaboration opportunities. Digital Jewelry Week is a digital showcase and an opportunity to acquire valuable digital skills necessary for the online promotion of their creations. A central element of the event is the contest, which gives participants the chance to make their work shine and captivate the audience.
Based on audience votes on the website digitaljewelryweek.com and evaluations by industry experts, one of the showcased jewelry pieces will be awarded the opportunity to be presented at Vicenzaoro, January 2024, an event always attuned to initiatives aimed at young individuals, promoting their engagement and valuing their potential. This significant collaboration adds a tangible dimension to the innovative digital world, showcasing the talent of young artists in a prestigious physical setting.
But the opportunities don’t stop here. The winner will have the honour of fully digitizing two jewelry pieces, with the support of Faith Tribe and Threedium, a leading company in digital technology for the luxury and fashion industry. This additional opportunity represents an extraordinary launching pad for young talents, opening new doors for them in the competitive world of contemporary jewelry. DJW is therefore much more than just an online event: it is an experience that merges tradition and innovation, a launching pad for young designers who dream of making their name shine in the realm of jewelry.
Digital Jewelry Week, a unique opportunity to showcase one’s creativity to the world, making the beauty of the art of jewelry shine brightly.”
