For this Biennale more space has been made for antiques dealers and therefore less jewelers are exhibiting  in comparison to the previous editions (from 14 jewellers in 2014 to 4 in 2016) but nevertheless some renowned young and contemporary high jewellery are present with some magnificent colored diamonds: Cindy Chao from Taiwan, Nirav Modi from India, Boghossian and De Grisogono from Geneva—the latter being the only one to have previously exhibited at the Biennale.
