How to Win

Simply visit the site at the link below, and choose a category. This will be your foundation and must compose the majority of your piece. Once you’ve decided on a category, build your design using any additional stones, materials and methods you choose. The only limitation they place on you is that the end result must be wearable jewelry (unless you are entering the hollowware/art objects category). After all, it’s your unique story as a designer we’re so excited to see.
