On October 11–12, 2025, between 10:00 and 19:00, the city of Cluj-Napoca will host the AUTOR Pop-Up Cluj Edition, a boutique event dedicated to contemporary jewelry, bringing together independent designers, jewelry artists, and collectives from five European countries.
Held at HUB UTCN, on George Barițiu Street no. 4, right in the heart of the city, the event is part of the Transylvania Jewelry Festival, a brand-new cultural initiative taking place from October 9–17, 2025, with a program of exhibitions, openings, and events celebrating jewelry as both art and contemporary expression.
For the first time, AUTOR has been invited to curate and organize the sales and showcase section of the festival, offering independent designers the opportunity to meet and sell directly to a passionate and curious public during the festival’s only weekend dedicated to sales — October 11–12.
Dan Pierșinaru, founder and director of AUTOR Platform, shared:
“It is a real pleasure for us to accept the invitation to become an integral part of the very first edition of the Transylvania Jewelry Festival. For 16 years, AUTOR has built a platform dedicated to contemporary jewelry — one that fosters professionalism, creativity, and authentic connections. This partnership with TJF is rooted in mutual trust and respect, and together we want to create a synergy that supports independent designers and offers them visibility, direct sales opportunities, and a new audience eager to discover contemporary jewelry in the heart of Transylvania.”
The AUTOR Pop-Up Cluj Edition not only brings contemporary jewelry into a new cultural space but also boosts sales opportunities for independent designers and jewelers by creating meaningful connections between creators and an local audience.
This first edition opens new horizons for the jewelry scene in Eastern Europe, offering both visibility and business opportunities for designers ready to embrace a fresh, dynamic, and curious public.
