AUTOR 9 Contemporary Jewelry Fair | April 2013 | Bucharest

It was just so inspiring and revigorating to see so many talented designers presenting their creations during the 9th edition of the contemporary jewelry fair AUTOR. This is not a review, it's more of a subjective collection of what we wanted to remember later and share with our followers. However, Autor brought together more than 70 designers so this is a mere reflection of the beautiful jewelry one could have found there.

Oh, how we love to see and feel that a piece took hours and hours of work. The elaborateness of this ring won our hearts. And yes, we forgot to mention this: where there's a mineral rock, there's love from WOLF 25.

You can say just by looking at these amazing jewelry pieces by Doru Dumitrescu that love and passion for wood were reunited into something you just wanna touch, caress, admire and, ultimately, wear.

Needless to say, we fell in love with Neva Balnikova's creations. Huge rings, amazing bracelets (as is the one above), jaw-dropping stones, are you kidding us?! We were hooked!

When a designer follows his or her inner belief or intuition, you can see it in what they create. We believe this is also the case for Andreea Mogosanu, again, one of our favourite designers.

They had as us at 'simple, clear lines, everything with a twist and attention to details'. At least this is what we said in our mind when we first saw the two designers behind Fashion Machine.

You know what caught our attention here? Seeing the designer Madalina Stoica playing with this ring. Yes, you can play with these pieces in such an ingenious way that you just have to see for real one of these great rings and do some tricks by yourself. Loved it!

Unfortunately, we couldn't find a photo with the incredible white rings we saw during the fair, but we hope those will be posted soon on the website. You could still see, however, other beautiful pieces. Fragile love, we'd say. Beautiful, we'd add.

 OK, so we have minerals, silver, tricky forms and love for wood. Yes, love for wood. When we discover that the designer knew how to listen to the wood's lines, how the end result equals love for wood, well, yes, we give all our appreciation.

Although this is obviously not a jewel, it nevertheless caught our attention. That's because we also love cactuses. And terrariums. And aeriums. Boy oh boy, looks like we love so many things.


But of course. Didn't you know that by now?


                                                           LOVE,
