Vicente Gracia Joyas

Vicente Gracia, born in Valencia in 1961, grew up in his father's workshop where he discovered the magic of artisan work, fascinated by this sublime art and by the colours, brightness, texture and the singular symbolism of precious stones. Through his work, he likes to communicate vitality and joy, factors that encompass the main criteria of his creative enthusiasm, containing most of his stimulation of the design of the history of Valencia and its surrounding coast. She gets the support of the successive directors of Vogue International and Vogue Giogiello and is invited to exhibit in Milan, Porto Cervo and London. In 2005 he was selected by John Souglides to be part of "Art Jewel" and exhibited annually at Christie's international auctions. His creations have been sold at Barneys New York, Octium, the artistic project of the Kuwaiti royal family and Neiman Marcus. In 2010, Tom Parker Bowles' exhibition at the exclusive Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai is incorporated into Quintessentially. Juliet Weir-de la Rochefoucauld lists him among the best jewellery designers of the 21st century as a poet and storyteller. In 2013 he exhibited at the Meadows Museum in Dallas accompanying the exhibition "Sorolla in America" with gems of Mediterranean inspiration. In her interest to keep alive the project to help teach the art of jewellery, she collaborates in the Jewellery School of Shaanxi Fashion Engineering University of Xi'an (China). He has been awarded the National Design Prize (1986), the International Jewellery Prize of the city of Valencia (1988) and the National Spanish Craft Award (2014).
