La galleria e` il punto di partenza per presentare nuovi talenti, come Silvano Cei o Andrea Martini, che giocano lavorando con foglie d'oro unite a resine intrecciate, paillettes e brillanti alternati a plexiglas.

Thanks to all of you!
Note to - Dear SBC, While English is my mother tongue, Italian is most certainly not. I'm not here to justify my self but I'm sure I don't hold the record for posting the most no. of queries at any one given time. If you've noticed I mostly ask for suggestions or alternatives to something I've at least tried to translate myself. Being a designer/translator does not always suffice, I wish I was a copy-writer too! Thanks anyway, and feel free to ignore any queries I may post in the future. Respect Vanita

\"semi-preciuos stones\" should work better than \"jewelry\".
I assume that they use semi-preciuos stones, considering they are mixed with plexiglass and resins.......but you never know.

Anyway, dear Vanita, I think 12 (TWELVE) questions on a translation are a bit TOO much..... In a virtual community, quite honestly, I think it is great that we are help each other, however too often now some people take advantage of others. And if you do not feel confident enough with your translation, maybe English is NOT your mother-toungue??

Dear Vanita,
certainly my remark was not meant as an insult, but I guess you should consult a moderator about this issue. I have done so, and that is why I felt a comment was appropriate.
Have a great day
