Jewellery with a Story: Why Art Déco Remains a Symbol of Desire and Value

Art Déco continues to exert a unique fascination in the world of jewellery: clean-cut geometries, platinum, diamonds, coloured gemstones, and a modernity that, almost a century later, remains surprisingly relevant.

In conversation with Simona Nicolosi, Emanuele Ferreccio Pennisi will explore the elegance of Art Déco jewellery through the perspective of one of Italy’s leading specialists in antique and period jewellery. It will be an opportunity to understand why some jewels are not simply objects to be worn, but works of art to be discovered, selected and collected.

The talk will delve into the criteria that make an Art Déco jewel particularly interesting from a market perspective: quality of craftsmanship, rarity, provenance, signature, state of preservation, materials, and the ability to stand the test of time without losing its desirability.

Founded in Milan in 1971, Gioielleria Pennisi is now in its third generation and is distinguished by its research and expertise in jewellery dating from 1750 to 1950, with a particular focus on the great masters of the Art Déco period.

An opportunity to discover why Art Déco is not simply a style of the past, but a language that continues to speak to contemporary taste, collecting and value.
