The students of the Scuola Viva IIS Degni of Torre del Greco triumphed at the international fair of the precious stones sector.
GemGenève – among the most important trade fairs in the sector – was founded by Ronny Totah and Thomas Faerber. The aim of the initiative is enhance culture and creativity in the world of precious stones and jewels ancient and modern.
Among the various cultural initiatives aimed at enhancing culture and talent, the “Donna Jewel X GemGenève” project. A project born from the collaboration between the two companies of excellence (GemGenève and Donna Jewel). And which aims to support young talents in the jewelry field.
The works of the students of the IIS Degni of Torre del Greco, together with those created by the Galdus Goldsmith School of Milan, were exhibited at the Fair. And they attracted the attention of various personalities in the sector.
The students were asked to create a jewel inspired by the animal world, capable of depicting their interpretation of contemporary jewelry. Followed by the school teachers, the students presented their works, from the design phases on paper to the finished jewel.
“NEVER KISS” BY ANNAPAOLA LIGUORO WINS
Five students from the Campania institute: Maria Rosaria Bencivenga, Annapia Liguoro, Gabriella Raiola, Alessandro Scogliamiglio and Aurora Vernassi. The final victory went to student Annapia Liguoro.
For her and her “Never kiss”, the proclamation in live streaming worldwide by Laura Inghirami, artistic director of the project and ambassador of Italian talents in Geneva. A prominent international personality, Inghrirami is among the top 100 young Italian entrepreneurs who are leaders of the future, according to Forbes Italia.
The winning project was inspired to the frog and its complex and intriguing symbolism. As told by her creator: “It can represent transformation, luck, regeneration and growth, dynamic and positive values”.
The other motif recalls the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “The Princess and the Frog”. Here, Princess Tiana, giving him a kiss, transforms the frog into a prince. “It is precisely this difference between being and appearing that I brought into the genesis of my jewel, the superficiality of judgment of those who stop at appearance. I created a rigid bracelet, covered in Malachite, which interrupts at a central dome, a sort of drop that encloses the frog on a mother-of-pearl water lily”, Annapia Liguoro said again, as reported Channel Tower.
COUNCILOR FORTINI’S COMMENT
Councilor Fortini commented via social media on the result achieved by the students of the Torre del Greco institute: “What an incredible result for Annapia Liguoro and her jewel. Congratulations for this extraordinary victory in the international contest ‘Donna Jewel x GemGenève’. It’s truly fantastic to see a young student from Campania achieve such prestigious success.” And again: “A round of applause also to Annapia’s other 4 classmates from the ‘Francesco Degni’ Art School in Torre del Greco for their courage and commitment.”
