Autor 2022, International Contemporary Jewelry Fair

AUTOR – the place where uniquely designed statement jewelry chooses its wearers
The Contemporary Jewelry fair brings to Bucharest the first event of 2022 of contemporary jewelry translated into 50 artistic languages. An event as an invitation to discover the jewel beyond the functional threshold, but especially to discover yourself in meeting the designers’ creations.
 
“This 2022 edition comes back after an imposed pause in which the world of creative jewelry has been tried and I dare to believe, transformed. Jewelry is that dear, intimate object that you want to touch, feel, wear, and for art jewelry, the direct contact is even more important. The jewelry chooses you, therefore after 3 years, the AUTOR fair brings back that craved meeting space between the jewelry maker and the beauty lovers.” – Dan Pierşinaru, founder of the author Platform.
