GemGenève
In May 2022, Strong & Precious made its debut at GemGenève, presenting 11 Ukrainian designers and opening a new international platform for Ukrainian jewellery art. Since then, GemGenève has become an important annual platform for Strong & Precious within the global jewellery industry. Each presentation has its own theme and curatorial narrative — from Ukraine’s cultural heritage and Trypillia to Ukrainian gemstones and the avant-garde of the 1920s–30s. In this way, each participation not only presents new designers, but also reveals Ukrainian jewellery art from a new perspective.
