Featured Speaker:

Davide Franceschini

Born into a family of jewellers, artists, and designers, Davide Franceschini was exposed to design and manufacturing from a young age. As a child, he assisted his grandfather in Venetian ironwork, and when the masters allowed him into the shop, he began working with Murano glass, specialising in Vetro a lume.

Despite his early immersion in craftsmanship, his studies took him in a completely different direction—first into Theoretical Astrophysics, followed by an MBA in International Business. Ultimately, this path led him back to the jewellery industry, taking him to China and later to Hong Kong, where he continues to shape his creative journey.
