Trophies Sparkle at the UK Jewellery Awards

Over 600 key figures from the jewellery industry attended the 18th annual UK Jewellery Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel on the 14th July. Lisa Snowdon presented the awards on a night that proved to be fantastic for all involved. Laura McCreddie, Editor of Retail Jeweller said:

"The UK Jewellery Awards is the must-attend event in the jewellery calendar and last night showed, once again, why that is. My congratulations to the finalists and especially to the winners, who all thoroughly deserved their trophies."

The custom designed awards were produced from solid aluminium, finished with a mirror polish and detailed with sand engraving. And what jewellery awards would be complete without Swarovski Crystals! The amethyst crystals were worked into the UKJA logo design to give the awards that extra sparkle.

The 2010 Jewellery Awards opened with the Retail Jeweller editor-in-chief, Jenni Middleton welcoming the top in Retail Jewellery with a heartfelt speech, saying that the jewellery industry was the only sector she could think of where people had real emotional attachment to the products. She applauded retailers and designers for their hard work all year round and said that this year the judging process had to be overhauled to be more rigorous and reflect the higher standards in the industry.

The glamorous awards are constructed from solid aluminium with a mirror polished finish, and detailed with fine engraving and 42 Swarovski crystals.
