The exhibition also introduces a new generation of designers, such as Yutai, founded by Yuta Ishihara in 2021, alongside Scotty Givhan and Alabaster Industries.
The exhibition's curatorial approach goes beyond simply showcasing jewelry; it aims to create a dialogue between different generations and approaches to jewelry design.

The exhibition juxtaposes established and emerging talents, each with a distinct point of view.'
