Artists from around the world bring exceptional collections to the AUTOR International Contemporary Jewelry Fair in Bucharest 60 designers from 4 continents exhibit on 18-19 May at Ghica House.
The 21st edition of the AUTOR International Contemporary Jewelry Fair will take place at Ghica House, in Bucharest, on the weekend of May 18 – 19, and will exhibit over 3000 unique pieces of contemporary jewelry signed by designers from Romania and 17 other countries. Enthusiasts of spectacular creations bearing the designer’s artistic imprint are invited to a meeting with jewellery with unusual volumes and compositions, combining precious materials with unconventional materials such as ceramics, wood, textiles and even recyclable materials.
A reference point for designers from all over the world, AUTOR is the only contemporary jewelry fair in Europe and a multimedia platform that has brought together over 1700 designers from all over the world. The AUTOR fair and platform were founded in 2009 by visual artist Dan Pierșinaru with the aim of making it a meeting place for all unconventional jewelry enthusiasts and promoting direct dialogue between the public and artists.
The Romanian public has once again the opportunity to meet in person 60 of the most talented jewelry artists of the moment from North and South America, Asia and Europe, whose participation has been carefully selected by a jury composed of 5 internationally renowned specialists in contemporary jewelry. Participating designers can also win various prizes that can bring them opportunities for training in their creative field as well as international promotion.
This year’s fair will feature Ela Nord, winner of the AUTOR Awesome Award at the 2023 edition, as Focus Artist.
The fair will also have two related events: the launch of a capsule collection by designer Cleopatra Coșuleț, in the creative space Doro 16, and the opening of an exceptional collection at the Museum of Romanian Literature, signed by Czech artists Jana and Peter Machata, who have been awarded in the past by AUTOR.

“We invite you to a new multi-sensory experience of original jewelry that makes a different statement depending on the wearer’s personality. It’s an edition that stands under the sign of geographical diversity, with artists from Western Europe and the Balkan area, but also from Argentina, the United States, the China or South Korea. For the first time we will also launch the Young Designers section – a springboard for talented and creative young jewelry designers. I want young designers to know how to better showcase their creations and get the right price for their work and talent, so that contemporary jewelry becomes a viable business and a focal point of their careers,” says Dan Pierșinaru, founder of AUTOR.
Another novelty will be a special stand from which jewelry donated by participating designers can be purchased. Buyers will thus be able to contribute to supporting AUTOR for the Future, an educational project through creative workshops for children in a commune in Brasov county, as an initiative to revitalise crafts in rural areas and as a meeting point for traditional and contemporary design.
