AWARDS |
To view the Awards program by year, click | The JAA Australasian Jewellery Awards celebrate and recognise design, innovation, craftsmanship and marketability in the jewellery industry. They are the ultimate industry awards that reward creativity, skill and technique - the most distinguished program for the Australasian jewellery community. In his position as President of the Queensland branch of the Jewellers Association, Roy Samuel Worfold founded the JAA Design Awards in 1968, and established a program to honour designers for their artistry and excellence. Demonstrating both craftsmanship and design skills are vital to succeeding as a jewellery designer. Many designers are inspired by an emotional event and often the design begins with a story and ends with a piece of jewellery that can be kept forever. However, to be a superior jewellery artist, designers must be technically skilled and have the ability to work with precious metals and gemstones. |
