Between the 22-27th of September, Assamblage launches the first edition of ROMANIAN JEWELRY WEEK, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary. The event was initially set for March 2020, but it was rescheduled due to COVID-19 outbreak. ROJW is an annual walktrough of both Romanian and international jewelry designers, with a record number of 150 exhibitors from all over the world. Contemporary jewelry, as an artistic and creative expression, is celebrated along a 6 days event filled with exhibitions, conferences, book launches, premiere showcasings and guided tours.
Over 8 museums, galleries and cultural spaces in Bucharest will be part of the ROJW map and will host the creations of Romanian and international artists and designers throughout the entire period. The event will present the collections of over 70 Romanian designers and has as guests over 80 designers, collectives and associations of designers from Portugal, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Switzerland, Canada, Israel, China and Norway.
