Today we're sending you a newsletter preview of the upcoming UPDATE 25. For many of you, the UPDATE SALON is a day packed with conversations, impressions, inspiration,... accompanied by goodies, giveaways, postcards, snacks, and the occasional glass of champagne or coffee.

What seems so easy requires a lot of organization in advance. You have to find a date, secure exhibitors, inspire creatives, and continuously coordinate with the venue. Interviews are conducted, visitors are accredited, exhibitor requests are recorded, and so on... anyone who has ever organized an event knows what we're talking about.

We're all the more pleased by the overwhelming positive feedback, especially in these turbulent and challenging times. Listing all the people and agencies we're looking forward to seeing would be beyond the scope here. That's why we're featuring some examples of visitors and exhibitors in our UPDATE SPECIAL to give you a feel for our favorite event.

We'll see you on May 16th in Berlin! If you'd like to get accredited spontaneously, click on the link.

Sculptural jewelry is currently experiencing a renaissance — flowing, organic forms that appear almost alive and blur the line between jewelry and art. Sam Hofman c/o MAKING PICTURES showcased elegant watches and jewelry for SOMETHING ABOUT ROCKS magazine in his unique, visionary style.

'Sculptural jewellery is having a moment - fluid, organic shapes that feel almost alive, blurring the lines between adornment and art. Think the @Hermes Météores ring in rose gold, where quartz, moonstone, spinel, and diamonds collide in a celestial swirl. Or @Bvlgari’s Tubogas necklaces, where supple yellow and rose gold coils embrace vibrant gemstones - tourmaline, mother-of-pearl, tanzanite, turquoise, and diamonds - for a look that’s as dynamic as it is luxurious.'
