Glow-Up!
Are you obsessed with jewellery? So are we!
Beyond its sparkle and shine, jewellery is more than just adornment – it’s a daily ritual of transformation, a Glow-Up that reflects self-expression, care, and the power to elevate who we are.
The OBSESSED! Jewellery Festival returns for its fifth edition in November 2025, guiding us through a dazzling journey across the Netherlands and Belgium. Next year’s theme, Glow-Up, embraces the power of transformation – both inside and out – through the ritual of adornment. Whether subtle or bold, permanent or fleeting, jewellery has long been a way to express care for ourselves and others, symbolising growth, change, and empowerment.
Just like a Glow-Up, putting on jewellery is more than mere beautification. It’s an act of self-care, a conscious moment that honours the people, events, and milestones in our lives. The jewellery we wear becomes a reflection of our personal transformations, telling stories through every gem, chain, and embellishment.
Obsessed! continues as an initiative by Current Obsession Magazine to link artists, galleries and institutions across the Netherlands and Belgium, through jewellery-related events that incorporate every format from digital adornment to films to physical objects… as ever, exploring jewellery as a vessel for meaning, empowerment and belonging.
