Intro
Slovenian Jewelry Week (SIJW) returns for its fourth edition from April 10th to 19th, 2025, at Center Rog in Ljubljana. This year, SIJW delves into the multifaceted concept of "Energy," exploring how it transcends the physical to influence our psychological, emotional, and spiritual landscapes.
The core exhibition, "Energy," showcases contemporary jewelry designers from Slovenia and beyond. It examines how social and cultural tensions arising from energy transitions are reshaping industries and inspiring artistic expression. Contemporary designers draw inspiration from these shifts, transforming materials into art that reflects the spirit of our time. "Energy" offers a unique lens into how energy fuels artistic creation and societal change, prompting reflection on the role of art in times of transformation.

Beyond the core exhibition, SIJW 2025 presents a vibrant program of workshops, student projects with exhibitions, lectures, and roundtable discussions. The event celebrates culture, innovation, sustainability, and the brilliance of global and Slovenian creative design.

The energy of joy fosters harmony, fueling creativity and shaping the world around us. This sentiment finds beautiful expression in two concurrent exhibitions taking place alongside "Energy" in Slovenia: 'Alegria (Joy)' in Izola, curated by Luis Acosta, showcases 32 international designers exploring the power of joy in jewelry, while 'Harmony' in Slovenj Gradec celebrates the harmonious connection between nature and artistry by showcasing exquisite pieces by Slovenian designers and goldsmiths crafted with locally sourced stones.
