Over 150 contemporary jewelry designers presented their collections at Romanian Jewelry Week 2020: designers, collectives, schools, and associations of designers from Portugal, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Canada, Israel, China, South Korea, USA, Mexico, and many more, as well as guest partners like PIN Association, Krama Institute, Milano Jewelry Week, Budapest Art Jewelry Night.
