The initiator of the free Day of Creativity and the founder of Goldtime, Indrek Peterson, wishes to give back to the people who have shaped the company’s destiny: “Goldtime is driven by the desire to inspire and fulfill people’s dreams. The key to our success in the past twenty-five years has been the people who have chosen us as their jewelry partner or have contributed their work or creativity to our success story. These are the people we want to thank and to whom we want to give inspiration and beautiful experiences as a token of gratitude. Therefore, it was the only right choice to celebrate the company’s 25 years of operation with our clients and partners, by offering them a free Day of Creativity that caters to experiences for the mind, as well as beauty and auditory senses. Everyone interested is welcome.”

This is how you can be part of the Estonian jewelry design panel, where the phenomenon of domestic creativity, the current market situation, the formula for success, and what Estonians actually love to wear are discussed. Experts such as Kaisa Mõru, the marketing manager of Goldtime, Sigrid Kuusk, an unconventional jewelry designer, Tanel Veenre, known for playful patterns and versatile designs, and beloved fashion designer Tiina Talumees, who collaborated with Goldtime to create an elegant jewelry collection called “Must valges” (Black in White), will exchange their thoughts.

The mesmerizing jewelry box of gemstones will also be unveiled, and the question of whether diamonds are still synonymous with luxury will be explored. Discussions will be led by Aveli Kippari, an expert and buyer of Goldtime jewelry, Karin Parras, a gemologist and creator of the luxury brand Karine Parras, Kristi Pärn-Valdoja, editor-in-chief of Säde magazine and a frequent guest on red carpets, and Hanna Loodmaa-Saarmann, the brand and communication manager of Kaubamaja and an admirer of diamonds.

As part of the free Day of Creativity, you can see with your own eyes at Goldtime store in Viru Center how nature’s true wonders take shape as gemstones, as they are cut and polished on-site.
