Originally trained as a painter, Lynne Speake explores the space where art meets jewellery.

Her creations bring together sculpture, ceramics, photography, text, and installation, resulting in what she calls “wearable works of art.” Free from traditional jewellery constraints, she embraces experimentation, problem-solving, and the expressive language of fine art.

Working predominantly in shades of black and white, Lynne allows texture, form, and scale to take center stage — letting each piece speak through its sculptural presence rather than color.

Inspired by the overlooked beauty of peeling paint, rusted metal, and discarded materials, her work reflects both environmental awareness and a poetic appreciation for transformation.

Each piece tells a story.
Each piece carries emotion.
Each piece redefines jewellery.

Caroline Soldevila was part of last year’s Transylvania Jewelry Festival, presenting a body of work that navigates the intersection between material experimentation and conceptual clarity.

Her pieces unfold through a sensitive exploration of form and structure, where each element is carefully considered yet open to interpretation. There is a quiet tension in her work, between control and spontaneity, between the constructed and the intuitive.

Through this approach, her jewelry becomes more than adornment, inviting a reflective engagement with both object and process.

At the Franciscan Church, we look back with great pleasure to the collective jewelry exhibition that took place within its remarkable space.

Set against the quiet presence of the architecture, the works entered into a subtle dialogue with the surroundings, where contemporary jewelry met history, and each piece carried its own voice into the shared atmosphere. Light, texture, and form unfolded differently here, inviting a slower way of seeing.

It was more than an exhibition, it was a moment of encounter, where objects, space, and viewers came together in a unique and memorable experience.

Miruna Belikovici was part of last year’s Transylvania Jewelry Festival, presenting a body of work that explores the expressive potential of material and form.

Her pieces unfold through a sensitive balance between structure and fluidity, often revealing unexpected textures and subtle contrasts. There is a tactile quality to her work — one that invites both visual and physical engagement.

Through an intuitive yet deliberate approach, her practice opens a space where jewelry becomes a medium for exploration, gesture, and quiet experimentation.

Ioana Cloșca was part of last year’s Transylvania Jewelry Festival, working with fragments of century-old textiles that she carefully preserves and recontextualizes in silver.

Her pieces carry traces of past lives, woven memories, gestures, and time itself, brought into the present through a delicate process of transformation. By mounting these salvaged fabrics in metal, she creates a dialogue between softness and structure, history and contemporaneity.

A recurring motif in her work speaks of continuity, of what remains, what is carried forward, and how material can hold both memory and meaning.

Yasmin Zehavi was awarded the Popularity Prize at last year’s Transylvania Jewelry Festival.
As part of this distinction, her work will become the visual identity of the 2026 edition of the festival.

Her work resonated through its distinctive visual language and strong presence, creating an immediate connection with viewers. Balancing concept and materiality, her pieces invite both curiosity and emotional response.

This award reflects not only the strength of her practice, but also the dialogue her work opens with those who encounter it.

Last year, Transylvania Jewelry Festival came to life across 9 exhibition venues, bringing together 5 group exhibitions, 2 solo shows, 2 special events, and curated capsules in key spaces throughout the city, each offering a distinct perspective on contemporary jewelry.

This year, the festival has grown beyond expectations. More than doubling in scale, the upcoming edition will unfold across 22 exhibition locations throughout the city.

An expanded network of spaces, voices, and encounters, shaping a broader dialogue around jewelry as art ✨

Paula Castro was part of last year’s Transylvania Jewelry Festival, presenting a body of work rooted directly in nature.

Her pieces transform fragments of the natural world into jewelry, preserving textures, forms, and traces of organic life while recontextualizing them as wearable objects. Each work carries a sense of immediacy, as if nature itself has been gently shifted into another state.

Balancing rawness and intention, her practice invites us to reconsider the boundaries between found and made, between landscape and adornment.

Sylvie Godel presented a performative moment during the vernissage of the collective jewelry exhibition, held in the Franciscan Church.

Engaging with the space and its layered atmosphere, her gesture brought together body, object, and architecture in a subtle interplay of presence and movement. The performance unfolded as a quiet dialogue, attentive, precise, and ephemeral.

A moment that expanded the exhibition beyond display, opening it towards experience.

Elis Liivo was part of last year’s edition of Transylvania Jewelry Festival, bringing a body of work that sits somewhere between object, memory, and quiet experimentation.

Her pieces invite a closer look: dramatic textures, unexpected materials, and a delicate balance between fragility and structure. Each work feels like a small world, carefully assembled.

We’re revisiting these pieces as a way of continuing the conversation, about process, presence, and the ways contemporary jewelry can expand beyond adornment.

Looking back at last year’s edition of Transylvania Jewelry Festival, we revisit a series of moments that brought together artists, objects, and audiences in a shared space of exploration and dialogue.

Among the highlights was the personal exhibition of , winner of the Award. Presented at .gallery , the exhibition offered an intimate insight into his practice, unfolding a body of work that bridges material, concept, and narrative.

Through these images, we return to the atmosphere, the encounters, and the objects that defined the festival, a reminder of the energy that continues to shape its evolving story 🤍
