Alkimiya Magazine, an unprecedented free international digital magazine dedicated to Jewelry Design, has joined the family of IGR – Rivista Italiana di Gemmologia this summer. The digital publication is the result of an agreement signed between the Gem-Tech Gemological Institute and Officina Vanvitelli, a research hub concerned with Made in Italy and innovation at the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”. The aim is to create a synergy connecting both jewelry design students and academia researchers with those companies in the jewelry industry that have agreed upon collaborating on a social responsibility project meant to promote the inclusion of talented young people into the business.
Issue No. 0, published in Italian and English, is available online for free featuring valuable contributions ranging from gemstone design, gifted masters’ experience, talent scouting at universities, current fashion trends, jewelry and gem contests, photo stories. The initiative also resulted into the introduction of a web platform, featuring more user-friendly and easy-to-read content.
What is it about in a nutshell? It is about an independent cultural vision that explores and shares the “coolest” subjects of the contemporary national and international jewelry and ornament scene. It is about a dive into the world of passionate small and large craft as well as into the fashionable jewelry brands. The all matter is driven by curiosity about new trends.
The new jewelry magazine was introduced at the event “Sales support tools: magazines and certificates”, held at the facilities of Officina Vanvitelli last June 13, 2022, in the gorgeous location of the Belvedere Monumental Complex of San Leucio (Caserta), Italy.
