CASE Awards

The Design Competition for Jewelers

With the CASE Awards, Jewelers of America shines a spotlight on the custom design craftsmanship found in the jewelry stores of Jewelers of America Members nationwide. Jewelers of America’s national design competition – The CASE Awards – honors the jewelers who create jewelry pieces with the highest levels of creativity, artistry, skills and excellence in quality and style.

To be recognized with a CASE Award, Jewelers of America members must express their individuality and craft through the design and manufacture of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. The jewelry is judged by a panel of industry experts on overall design, marketability, wearability and quality of manufacture. The CASE Awards is open to all employees of JA Retail Member and JA Supplier Member companies.

Congratulations to the 2022 CASE Awards winners!
