1st International Summit of Jewelry Classes 2026 – pop-up exhibition

In 2026 we are teaming up with over 40 jewelry classes from all over the world, covering all five continents and involving 24 different countries, to celebrate the future of young contemporary jewelry. The classes have taken it upon themselves to mastermind and present a pop-up exhibition specially for the Friday evening of the Jewelry Weekend, which will only be on show there on that one evening.

From 10 p.m. onwards the band SASEBO will give a live concert with musicians well-known from the jewelry scene: David Bielander, Yutaka Minegishi, and as a special guest Mari Ishikawa.
