What gives jewellery its meaning? Is it the material, the maker, or the memory it carries? This October, FiftySix turns its attention to how contemporary designers are redefining jewellery as a medium of storytelling, identity, and transformation.

Nevena Jaftha — Jewellery as Connection

Through Tetkaz, her macramé jewellery brand, Nevena Jaftha transforms knots and patterns into wearable expressions of meaning, exploring jewellery as an act of connection between maker, wearer, and world.

Nadège Renée Cassar — Jewellery as Transformation

Working in Malta since 2005, Nadège Renée Cassar of Nadège.Renée creates unique and limited-edition pieces in gold, silver, and a mix of precious and everyday materials. Her work embraces transformation—whether in the form of new designs or in bespoke commissions that give existing treasures renewed life.

Join us on Wednesday 29 October 2025 at 18:30 in Friggieri Hall, Valletta Design Cluster, for an evening of conversation and insight into the symbolic and emotional dimensions of jewellery.
