"In fact, the Mittel European area, a pioneer in art research and design of contemporary jewels, has imposed itself for more than half a century as a strong and consolidated aesthetic and cultural model. In comparison with this more structured context, the situation in Southern European and Northern African countries is much more recent and for this reason more unstable and variegated. In this area, research on contemporary jewels is recent or even new and often both promotion support and educational organisations for its development are totally missing. There are several reasons to this, which are explained by the historical and cultural contexts of each country."

from Contemporary Jewels in the Mediterranean. The beginning of a Consideration, Bianca Cappello
