Amelia Tuttle is one of Jewelers of America’s 20 jewelry industry recipients, all of which are under the age of 40.

Amelia Tuttle, Day’s Jewelers’ website manager, was named as one of the recipients of Jewelers of America’s 20 Under 40 in Jewelry Retail list. Jewelers of America’s 20 Under 40, which was launched in 2022, is a recognition program that celebrates young professionals who exemplify leadership skills and a commitment to elevating jewelry retail for tomorrow’s jewelry consumers.

Tuttle’s career at Day’s Jewelers began in 2019 as the copywriter. Tuttle was a member of the web department, which oversees the website and e-commerce division of the business. After the website manager stepped down from the position, Tuttle became the interim website manager, and eventually the full-time web manager. Tuttle has been the website manager since 2020.

“Jewelers of America’s 20 Under 40 in Jewelry Retail list was designed to recognize young and talented individuals in all facets of the retail jewelry industry,” says Jewelers of America President and CEO David Bonaparte. “Amelia Tuttle possesses all the qualities and leadership skills that will help to pave the way for a brighter future and the next generation of jewelry industry professionals.”

A panel of industry judges reviewed nominees from JA Retail Members across the country had the difficult task of narrowing the applications down to the 20 individuals who best embody an ability to lead, innovate, and improve a jewelry store’s success while adhering to professional ethics.

Tuttle says of the election “I am delighted to have been selected as one of the 20 Under 40 recipients. I’m proud to stand among my fellow recipients of this award in an industry where there are so many opportunities to drive change and see the impact of your work. I look forward to my future in the jewelry industry and its technological landscape.”

In 2022, Joe Corey, current Day’s President, was elected as one of the program’s initial members. In 2023, Nikia Levesque, VP of Marketing, became the second Day’s Jewelers employee nominated. Tuttle marks the third Day’s employee to have been selected for the 20 Under 40 list.

Day’s Jewelers has been a member of the Jewelers of America, the national association for fine jewelry businesses with the most reputable jewelers in the United States, for several years. Day’s is honored to have a third associate nominated to the 20 Under 40 list.
