Overview

I am thrilled to announce that my exquisite contemporary necklace has been accepted for the XIV Florence Biennale 2023, a prestigious contemporary art and design exhibition in Florence, Italy.

My exhibit will feature a beautiful piece of wearable art - a mesmerising and elaborate collar made of yellow gold and white diamonds, exclusively created for the event. This international showcase provides me with the chance to compete for the esteemed 'Leonardo da Vinci Design Award' and other special awards, and I am excited to be a part of it.

I am an accomplished and award-winning jewellery artist based in Tasman, New Zealand with a reputation for being a dynamic and innovative force in the world of jewellery design. I have spent years passionately developing new and original ways to incorporate brilliance and originality into my art, earning recognition both nationally and internationally. As a committed artist, I use my creativity to make a positive impact on the world, and I am proud of the meaningful contributions that my work has made to the field of contemporary jewellery design.

Although this is a significant accomplishment, I cannot achieve it alone. To participate in this nine-day exhibition, from 14th to 22nd October 2023 at the Fortezza Da Basso in Florence, Italy, I am seeking financial support. Contributions will help cover the expenses of the exhibition, including travel, accommodation, and related costs, as well as the production costs of my masterpiece.

By contributing to my project, you will help make it happen and become a part of my exciting journey, help me develop my artistry and brand, and advance my artistic career while also assisting me in realising my dream. You are also enabling me to create fearless, bold pieces without financial concerns and to focus on my passion for crafting significant unique sculptural jewellery pieces. Furthermore, your contribution will play a critical role in promoting New Zealand's contemporary art and design on an international level.

Your contribution, regardless of its size, can have a significant impact. It would be wonderful if you would please consider donating to bring my project to life. I would be forever grateful for your help and support. 

I would like to thank you in advance. Together, we can propel my business forward, gain invaluable exposure to an international audience and generate new avenues of potential sales revenue.
