Lidia Weber introduced the jewellery house’s Venice-inspired collection during La Dolce Vita at Ca’ Sagredo.Against the backdrop of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, Oliver Weber Collection presented its Dolce Vita Collection on 11 September at Ca’ Sagredo, where the Royal Gentlemen Gala Dinner and Congress Awards brought cinema and international luxury into one of Venice’s historic palazzi.

As Official Jewellery Partner, the Austrian house was represented by Lidia Weber, Director of Special Projects. The collection drew its inspiration directly from Venice, translating the lagoon, Carnival and the changing reflections of light on the water into jewellery.
